Eric-
I forgot why I stall out each time I go to get a camera converted... What the heck is the deal with all the different types of conversions?
What did you get for the ex1? I'm thinking R72/89B IR filter installation (720nm) from SpencersCamera.com for $250???
Does that make sense. They offer 5 different conversions !!!
Thanks,
Tom
Mine was the 720nm.
I find it gives a cleaner, more 'duotone' effect of white and brown.
Some of the other filters introduce reds and purples which can give weird effects (IMHO) when post processing.
It's sort of akin to tinting a black and white print ...compared to tinting a colour print. With only mono to work with you get a purer result. Tint a colour print and everything is unpredictable.
Just my 2cents.
Thanks, Eric.
Just what I wanted to know. I really care 95% about BW only.
Off to order the 720n
Cheers,
Tom
