I just love these IR photos you have been posting. As someone new to this technique, how do your modified camera photos compare with using an IR filter?
In brief though the effect is the same whether the filter is on the lens or the sensor, but the normal body contains a filter which blocks IR. On the older bodies such as the *ist series it is just possible to use a weak IR filter such as the R72 and get hand-held results. On the later bodies (K10D onwards) the blocking is much stronger, so a tripod is definitely required. That implies all sorts of inconvenience with moving foliage, clouds etc.

I'd love to try some myself, but don't have a spare body to be modified. I thought about getting a R72 filter, but don't know how well these work.
Your pictures are just stunning. My daughter's boyfriend's mum is a Goth and a photographer. She's blown away by the graveyard photos you posted before.

Welcome to the forum. I'll be bringing my Pentax out to India in November so that will be at least two there if you get one!

Received promptly and in very nice condition. However, I do think any valuable & fragile item like this lens needs to be packaged in more than just bubble wrap and a standard RM plastic bag. Fortunately it did survive the rigours of transit intact!
