Originally posted by slackercruster I was thinking of converting 2 - D2000's. One for a 830 BW and the other one possibly a 665 or 590? Unless the 590 is TOO extreme?
If you follow my suggestion of having a clear.glass conversion, you only need one camera converted, and can use any filter on it, for any desired IR effect.
If you must have dedicated IR cameras, be aware of filter characteristics. The longer the wavelength, the less visible light passes. 590nm is almost a #25 Red filter and doesn't really give much IR effect. 830nm blocks visible light pretty effectively. 720nm is popular because it passes enough visible light for viewfinder use.
