Pentax K100D Converted to Infrared Capable - $200 - I bought this K100D off ebay as "non-working". The owner had been told it needed a shutter but everything else worked fine. I purchased it with the intention of converting my 16-50 2.8 to screw drive, so it was fine for that task. Once that was complete I decided to look into the shutter problem. It turns out that there was a tiny piece of plastic in the shutter that was causing the blades to hang up. Once removed (don't worry, I am a professional. In a past life I used to work for the infamous ex-Pentax repair shop in the desert), the camera worked fine. Without a need for a second body, and a rather low resale value on an older body, I decided to remove the hot filter for IR use. This camera is perfect for the task because 1. It can shoot RAW. 2. There is an in-body focus adjustment seemingly without limitations. 3. Without the hot filter you can take IR photos handheld, at normal shutter speeds. In full sun I typically shoot at 1/250 f8. 4. It takes SD cards (up to 4GB). 5. It takes AA batteries.
The body of the camera is flawless. I will include the 4GB Micro SD card and adapter that I have been using with it. Other than that the body will come with the white body cap and nothing else. I believe the shutter count was just over 27k when I checked previously, I can look again if someone needs me to, I don't have the camera with me at the time of this posting as I am at work. I also don't have pictures of the body with me, but as I said, it is flawless.
I realized when I got the pictures inside that the 15mm twins were a little dusty (that's what I get for using a 100mm macro to take "for sale" pictures...) I will give them a good cleaning before shipping them out to their new homes.
