No, you're right. It's actually a not-quite-full spectrum conversion; replace IRcut with clear glass (actually UV filter, but you get the idea.)

Hi, everybody ("HELlo, Doctor Nick..")
So I recently purchased a used i*stDS for the specific purpose of converting to IR. Thanks to the tutorials, I was able to easily get to the [ED:Deleriously tired] IRcut filter, remove it, and replace it with glass.
The shutter works, and focus seems to be fine, (with the clear glass) and all pics so far have come out -ish.
In the process, something seems to have gone awry. There is NO connectivity with the lens, it seems... NO focus confirmation, NO aperture setting or information, NO AUTOFOCUS.
What now?
To answer some pending quesitons:
All program modes read "aperture priority" on the preview screen, except M and B. No aperture or aperture information in ANY mode. Aparrently taking pics WIDE open, with shutter adjustments only. Aside from that, everything else seems to work fine (everything is dead, but other than that...)
I did discharge the flash to my finger a couple times...
I cannot find any wires or connectors that are in any way damaged or that have come detached, in or out
the MF / AF switch engages the motor cam properly, and carries through to the focus rings on the lenses.
manual f ring registers nothing. Nothing in EXiF. See grab below.
THanks for the help.
