Here are two that were taken with an Olympus 2020Z from sometime in the previous century, with a #87 IR filter (no visible light transmission). Small images, OK for the web or smaller prints, no raw, but decent IR. (These were hand-held, should have had a tripod.) I have a spare Canon 20D body I keep thinking of having converted to IR (about $500) but haven't gotten around to it. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/kcarney/ghost+ranch+hut.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/kcarney/front+yard+infra.jpg.html Ken On 6/14/2011 8:55 PM, Tina Manley wrote: > Lug: > > I bought a B+W 092 filter for my M8 to take to the Sierra Nevada and > Yosemite next week to try out some infrared photos.
