Who are the pentax IR conversion go to guys nowadays? I'd consider getting my K5 converted .... that's if its a good 'donor' body for the conversion? My K20d had an 850nm filter. I'm thinking a 720nm is the one Id go for next
For now I'm waiting on a Hoya R72 filter to see how it does on the K5 and K3.... no idea what the exposures will need to be
Oh... in terms of my favourites here, Id have top say 2 & 6 are my stand outs.
Sean... do have a look at the various posts on my original thread link on this re conversion details etc. (I used ACS in Norfolk)... I had a long conversation with them beforehand re the conversion process, cost, time, best cameras etc, and they were quite clear that they could convert any Pentax DSLR (I was half thinking of converting a K5 at the time)... but I know MarkLJ spoke to them recently and they said they couldn't convert a K5, so best speak to them yourself I think and see what answer you get... Re the Hoya R72 filter, I've used one on both a K5 and a K3... both work absolutely fine, although expect to be going the high ISO route, or around the 2/3 minute exposure mark with lower ISOs...
Hope that helps...

I'm just off the phone with ACS there and they say they done a few K5 conversions, so that's good news. I'm going to pack up my K20d and ship it off to them as well to get looked at. Hopefully a loose connection but I'm not holding out much hope for that. Would be nice if it was though.
Incidently, what lens do you typically use? I use a Sigma 24m manual prime mostly and sometimes a Pentax F35mm to 70mm . Had been using a sigma 10-20mm but though it had a very noticeable hotspot in IR.

Having done so, I find them refreshingly different. An excellent set.
I've been dithering over a conversion for a couple of years now (there's always something else I want to spend £250+ on). Sets like this don't help ... lol

Thought I'd post a few more Infra Reds. All taken over the last few months. 720nm IR converted K30, with a variety of lenses, but principally the Samyang 8mm Fisheye. Other lenses the DA 17 70, DA 55-300, FA 35, FA 50, Sigma 10-20, all of which work very nicely.
