Well, I have thought of it, but my *istDS is meant to be converted for IR some day. It would be much better of course to use a model with liveview, and then it will cost some more. (Now someone will tell me to buy that EVIL Samsung...and then I ned to tell again that we do know nothing about what lenses we can mount on it)

Has anyone tried to shoot through a projector lens, movie camera lens etc?
