Cheers Guys,

Andy, if you ever get the chance, jump at it, the country is awesome, seriously.

David, thank you , in reply
I bought the camera converted, from the states, a guy called Isaac Szabo, he does IR conversions, but as the shipping costs from Ireland to the states and then back to Ireland were prohibitive, he sourced a mint K01 with 2000 shots on it and converted it for me. Total cost to me was €397. Really excellent service, dust free conversion and a mint camera. He was recommended by a couple of people on the American forum

The lenses i had, were not many. I brought the 15mm ltd, M 28mm f3.5, K 35mm f3.5, M 35-70mm f2.8-3.5 and an M 150mm f3.5.
Just about all the IR shots were with the M 28mm, a couple with the K 35mm,
Puffins with the M 150mm
Most landscapes with the 15mm but some with the 28mm and 35mm
We spent 4 days in Iceland, (you would need a week) just so much to see.
I was up taking photos at 06.00 every morning and still taking them at 12 midnight to make the most of the time i had there.
I went with Ralph Hardwick and Jon Bowles, Ralph is in the process of setting up a photography tour of Iceland and we were doing a Recce for it. The final product that he will be offering will be savage.

I would return again with Ralph in a heartbeat if i had half a chance.

Thanks K10D

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask
Thanks for looking

Derek

Here is a link to an album on flickr from my Icelandic Adventure with Jon and Ralph.
All taken with either K3 or IR converted K01.
Fantastic trip, and a super country to visit.
