The camera is IR converted, so I would try it just as it is. You will find plenty in IR photography to keep you busy experimenting.

Filters are used to adjust visible light, not IR, so they may be redundant for the converted camera. Or maybe there's yet another layer of experimentation. There's one infallible way to find out - give it a try!

The first images are in this blog: https://www.ephotozine.com/user/johnriley1uk-22471/blog/beyond-the-visible-spect...

I'm very pleased so far and there's lots of potential when I have more time.

Many thanks Nigel, the camera arrived safely on schedule today and all is fine. I appreciate the excellent, careful packaging!

Now to take some IR images!

It's been a while since a new Pentax lens has been available for review, but thanks to Chris at SRS Microsystems we have been able to cover the HD Pentax-D FA 85mm f/1.4. The review is now live and, as always, and sadly, the lens is packaged up ready for return....parting is such sweet sorrow.....

Hopefully more will follow as they become available. In the meantime, my personal thanks to Chris for his help.

Thanks. A bit far to come and pick up.

If you'd accept £150 and sending by a less expensive method - suggest Parcelforce 24 - then I'm in.

Where are you located?

It's like going back to the late 1960s/early 1970s when lots of things were being advertised but nobody had any stock. It wasn't just cameras and lenses though, the field I was in at the time had long, ludicrous delays on all sorts of products, sometimes many months. Then a batch would arrive, there would be a flurry of activity and then everything sold out again. Back to square one.

The Days of Plenty may be well and truly over, or at least on hold.

It's been said before, but what Chris at SRS needs is a branch up North. Tyldesley would be very convenient.....
