Sorry to read of the breakage, I would be interested in the tripod mount if poss poss please, pm what you'd be looking for it inc postage

Held last Fri / Sat / Sun, nr Truro, over 100 full size steam engines along with a similar number of miniature ones plus military vehicles / classic cars and commercial vehicles / stationary engines.

Excellent set Steve, pick of the bunch imho is #3 mainly for the composition and the clearer OOF BG

Afternoon Spad,

I've a K5iis converted to 720nm, I vaguely recall reading somewhere that a cheap lens is ideal for IR, I've been using an old Sigma 18 - 200 but kit lenses are also recommended. I dont bother with any UV /Skylight filters on mine either.

Its produced sharp images from the day I had it converted, about 4 years ago now, a couple of examples as below.







Did you have it converted or did you purchase it converted, do you know if it was producing sharp images before conversion ?

Suggestion would be to try it with a kit lens if you have one

I like #1 & #4 equally, it might be my eyes, but could they do with a little more DOF, not much just a tad

That sort of lighting works for me very well

Excellent set, the Cheshire steps the best of a good bunch for me thou

Yes, everything is Pentax, from a K10D to a K3iii / K1 / 645z, been shooting Pentax tooooooooo long

You wouldn't be disappointed with either, you've not mentioned what you prefer to shoot, but given you've had apsc and the lenses to match, I'd highly recommend a K3iii

Thanks both for your comments, really appreciated. its a location I will return to and they've a championship meeting at the end of Aug which should result in a bit more fierce competition and maybe a few spills here and there.

A return visit to Fraddon Bike Pk yesterday, found some better vantage points, the bonus being some much cleaner backgrounds.

K3iii with either the DFA 24 -70 F2.8 or the DFA 150 - 450 F4.5 / F5.6
