So I bought a 49mm Hoya R72 filter on ebay which arrived yesterday afternoon. We've had on and off rain until the sun poked out around 4 PM EDT so I just took these quickie photos less than an hour ago: <http://www.hemenway.com/Pentax-isDS-1st-attempt-IR/> or: http://tinyurl.com/2pbs9j The filter is so dark a red that it appears to be black, but by looking through the viewfinder for about a minute, one finally gets enough visibility to compose a shot... that's if there's enough sunshine. The image is dark red as it is uploaded from the camera, and since the camera only does its IR bit in the red channel, one only has to to a simple gray scale convert in Photoshop, and then a few adjustments.
