[QUOTE="shl3608, post: 226031, member: 18227"] Hi, I'm seriously considering "recycling" my D5100 by spending $250 for the full(true) IR conversion for my boyfriend. There is a local shop known for their excellent service and I plan to take in the camera after bit of research here in this forum and various other sources online. Anyhow, I'd like to hear from anyone who has extensive experience with IR photography and/or might already own a full IR converted D5100 (or similar bodies, post D90) and gain some insight. Is this a good camera body for IR conversion? I'm reading various opinions in this regard, some think it's good, some think that it's not as good as older dslr models (i.e. pre-D90) Also, which IR filter should I install for him? I know he likes really extremely abstract, creative shots using IR photography but I know that he has been frustrated with his outcome using the IR filters he purchsaed. Is 720nm the most versatile? What are the CONs and PROs of something like 550nm or 800nm? Any input will be appreciated. I'm just hoping to configure the camera in the most useful format for him that will be give him the most flexibility. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
