I'd be curious if someone from a marketing background/industry would chime in?
Looking at the poll results and giving a variance for supporters who either like the idea and wouldn't buy or answered out of nostalgia from the film days, would 25% seem like a reasonable figure?
Would this justify researching a larger user base to see if ratios remained similar and if so would 25% warrant the beginning phase of R&D?
I know if 25% of my current repeat customers asked for a service, I'd be looking into it, no matter how niche it might seem.
It might be cost or technologically prohibitive at the moment but I would be working on it in the back of my mind for a while.
Would love to hear what marketers or others involved in R&D might think.

Originally posted by lmd91343 I much rather shoot my IR converted K10D (720 filter) than my K3. One reason is the extra challenge IR provides. An equally strong reason is simplicity/complexity in its near B&W results. It's the textures, tones, and contrast that are not in the color images. The K3 is easier to use, is more versatile, has greater sensitivity, has greater resolution, and has live view, but the K10D is almost pure B&W.
Would I get a pure monochrome? No! However, I am looking for a good deal on a used K3II to turn into another IR, monochrome like camera.
Thank you @Imd91343 for the fantastic description you provided on shooting in B/W.
I wrote a blog piece this month on seeing in black and white and would have loved to use your simple, precise terms.
Simplicity/complexity and texture/tone/contrast are exactly what makes this format what it is.
