Just found this comparison of various Pentaxes sensitivity to IR.

This site covers IR with a K100D. You may have to up the ISO, but that shouldn't be a problem as IR film was/is grainy anyway. An R72 filter is a good investment (IMHO)

No worries If I'd had more time to play I might have ended up with a version where the lighthouse is a paler yellow, rather than white.

Apologies for infringing your copyright, but I thought I'd try a bit of retouching - did it very quickly so it's not perfect, but I whitened up the lighthouse.

Now I'll run and hide from the "you-should-get-it-right-in-the-camera" brigade!

Edit: What I did was to take the lighthouse from the B&W version add it as another layer on to of the colour image and change the blend mode to luminosity. If I was trying to be more thorough I'd lighten up the reflections in the water.

If it was 30 Megapixel, Full Frame Sensor, 20 FPS and came with a perfect 10-500 compact kit lens and cost £99.00 PA would still find fault!



that would be quite something though
Only 30 MP?

A good place to begin is Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Page and especially some of the links on the Technology page for the answers to some of your questions on terminology.

From the way that he is holding it, it doesn't look as heavy as one might expect. Made from cardboard perhaps?
