Thanks for the reply! Yes I am thinking about a permanent conversion. I go to China with work, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, so would be very interested in your contact there, and some idea of price.The other option I have considered is selling the K7 and getting a Km to convert. As far as lenses I thought about using some old manual focus primes, but if the kit lens works with af then that would possibly be a better option.

I really liked your first set with your K10d, in fact I commented on them.

I have just ordered a K5 and am thinking of converting my K7 to infrared. I have done a bit of research but was wondering if anyone can give me advice on where to get it converted and how much it would cost? Also I am wondering what increase in exposure times I could expect? I have to be able to shoot handheld as I am mainly interested in the conversion for aerial photography: from what I have been able to find out shooting through a heated windscreen shouldn't be a problem. Any advice/info/tips would be much appreciated.

I am surprised the Sigma 18-250 hasn't been mentioned. It needs stopping down to get the most of it but I was pleasantly surprised by mine.

Lovely set, I like them a lot too

Excellent Tim well done!

That second one is stunning IMO, suits the subject really well.
