[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 347373, member: 9240"] 690nm is actually a rather odd wavelength for a conversion. Most I've seen are 720nm (like mine), 665nm or 590nm. Are you sure it's not the latter? Here's a link to a page at Kolarivision, the folks who did mine, showing you the difference in wavelengths.... [url=http://www.kolarivision.com/products.html]Products | Kolari Vision Infrared Conversion Service and IR Photography Cameras[/url] 590nm retains the highest level of color saturation which will give you the most options in terms of where you go color-wise on conversion, and with B&W it gives you the most filter options. Because of what he states in the text of the ad I suspect that this is the wavelength of the conversion. As for PP, yep, you're going to want and need to do it.
