i would like to buy an already converted camera ... i like the idea of being able to see thru the viewfinder wot i'm gonna shoot ... and i now know that a tripod wouldnt be always necessary if i got the right combo ... i think putting the filter on and off to take a shot'd end up being a hassle for me ... the Lifepixel site said the focus could be a bit off if you focus and then put on the IR filter after?? but i spose you'd know  Gordon seeing you've actually been doing it.. i then wonder how you'd set your shutter speed and aperture ... would you just let the camera decide or trial and error or wot? ....
i'm definitely not going back to film ...
You think that takes patience try shooting infrared with 35mm film.
I tried that a couple times 20 years ago...
gotta say you MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL ... patience equals a lot more than a couple of times .. i've been backwards and forwards to this site trying to find out about IR a lot more than a couple of times .... THATS PATIENCE!! ... lol (in case anyone could possibly be taking me seriously) ...
got a tripod for xmas and used it for the first time from 5.15am today ... absolutely love it ....... dont know how i lived without it actually!!.. so i think i'll give the IR a go by doing the focus and composition first and then screwing it on .... the filter that is .. i'll just do auto shutter speed and aperture and see wot happens ...
does anyone have an IR converted camera for sale or know anyone who does ?????

for the live-preview that you wanted, I suggest you look at P&S cameras with EVF or LCD previews. This way you wont have to trouble yourself with focusing, etc. |

did you find the focus was out when you put the IR filter on after you'd focused? ...
is a P&S camera totally automatic? and do you know of any that would support the IR filter, conversion or wotever?
and how do you do the Originally posted by whoever bit ....???

1. almost all non-dSLR cameras have live-preview. The focus was pretty good on my Nikon E800, tact sharp actually. But since the shutter speed varies from slow to fast, sometimes subject movement makes the photo blur (see my photo titled "lomography", the tree leaves). As for how to put the filter on, on my Fuji S9500 I just screw it onto the lens barrel since the lens are threaded. For my Nikon, it is also threaded, and to share the single IR filter, I had to use step-up rings (these are cheap)
2. click on the "QUOTE" button of the person's post that you wish to quote.

Most cameras will focus with the Hoya R72 on it but it might not be the point of focus that you intended. Thus the need for a dSLR with you can find the exact point of focus and get better sharpness for landscapes. To get the best shot one should slow down anyways, so a tripod will help with this.
Fujifilm S3 Pro UVIR is a factory modified version of the Fuji S3 and is intended for CSI work. Unfortunately it takes Nikon lenses. If you have a selection of Nikon lenses then you may be in luck with this camera.
