I gave him the filter size for the K110 including thickness that is not listed in Leo's thread (1.6mm). I am not sure if K110 and K100 uses the same size filter but it is a good reference. By the way Leo was kind enough to send me his filter.

You might able to work/share info. with the member on the link. Let us know the progress.

Aye that was me, I have a K100D in route to me now so I'll be attempting this soon myself, I might just go with out any filter as maybe the AF can be adjusted via the "debug" menu. If I really like it then maybe I'll put a IR filter in place of the hot filter making the camera a permanent IR camera.

Also I have a converted P&S IR camera, it's a Canon A630 and it does pretty good for a P&S, but I want the ability of manual control and use of more creative lenses. I also converted this myself, but you have to replace the hot filter with something clear for it to focus.

Here is a sample from the Canon. Not bad at all, so you might want to consider this, though a K100D is just as cheap as this camera was, plus you get RAW which is another reason for me to try this.

BTW that's 2 frames stiched
