I for one am really glad that this thread came up.Maybe 6 months ago, I read
an
article in Shutterbug about IR conversions which mentioned (and recommended)
this
guy and I had saved the web address in my bookmarks. I was thinking of
having a
Nikon D100 converted. That bookmark has been erased.
I guess that you have to be just as careful about what you read in print,
just like you
have to be careful about the web. <grin>
