Dave,

I'm not sure who did the conversion because I bought the body used,  
already converted, for nearly the cost of the conversion alone. But I  
would bet it probably was LifePixel or MaxMax.com, but there are a  
few other companies that do the work as well.

I have a roll of HIE left as well. I'm saving it to try the developer  
that Alan uses.
