I think our expectations are not well managed!
This D7100 blows the old D1 out of the water on all specifications except possibly durability. I still have a D1X that I use occasionally and will probably convert to UV use if I can discuss this more with Robert and find out what I need to do.


However I really would like my D300 converted to IR use but I want the LifePixel EnhancedIR filter 665nm (Wratten 70 filter on front of the lens) or the Super Color IR filter 590nm (Wratten 29 equivalent on front of lens).
My current D70 IR converted camera has a LifePixel Standard IR filter 720nm (Wratten 89B, or Hoya R72 equivalent on front of lens).

I can also use my Fuji XPro1 or XE1 with a Hoya R72 filter on the lens and it produces very good results that you can pre-visualise the IR on the back TFT screen if you have the WB set up correctly. This is very seductive except that you need a tripod for the IR work unless you shoot at greater than ISO1600.
