I am please, the monochrome is pretty straight forward but the there is a lot to learn with color swapping and other things I see people doing. Some of my issue were workflow issue, using a laptop that I dont typically use and the brightness was off.

I had wanted a infrared camera for awhile but I convinced myself that it wouldn't be worth doing it w/o a converted camera. But I never wanted to spend the money. After learning that the older cameras do a pretty good job I figured it was worth a shot with a $25 filter. Obviously a converted would be nice just for the ability to be able to see through the view finder but for now this is good enough

Keep at it - I've seen some amazing IR shots taken with the old 6 mp sensor!

Thank you kypfer Irfanview is a fun tool. Just a quick shot out my front door to test. Composition wasn't really the intent. I used AWB which seems to work better than the custom setting I was trying.

From my K100d Super, I later got a K10d but still have the K100d. It always took nice pictures, there's a special kind of quality to them.
