Has anyone converted a D3 for IR ?
Yes, has been done but it's problematic, the D3 and most of the newer bodies have a little IR lamp and sensor either side of the shutter which monitor the shutter speed and automatically make corrections 'on the fly'. Unfortunately the IR lamp causes fogging of the image on a converted camera; masking the lamp triggers errors. There are workarounds but I seem to remember they involve altering the firmware.
Will PM you...
