K20D infrared?

I also have a K20D that I have been planning to IR convert. I believe the K20D is less difficult to convert than for example the K5 (possibly due to the sensor cleaning mechanism). Anyway, this is where I will send my camera when I decide to go for an IR conversation:

If you do end up with converting your K20D, please share your experiences with the process and results!

I avoided converting a DSLR to IR because of problems I'd read about with viewing the image. I went with a mirrorless and EVF

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Like Barrie I went for a mirrorless model when I got a converted body. My initial one was brought pre-converted for less than the cost of a conversion.
More recently I've brought a FF body & had that converted by Alan Burch on the isle of wight. I should be able to shoot UV as well as IR with the new one, and can fit a clip in filter to return the camera to normal operation too.
I've come across a useful comparison of conversion companies on-line, giving contact details etc for each.

Whatever the benefits of an IR mirrorless camera, it misses the point somewhat.
Now debating which filter to have fitted...
Thanks all. K.

The point is it might be the cheaper option as well as working much better. Even if you use an adapter to use your existing Pentax glass...
