With numerous cameras around, it might be obvious there are a few I don't use very often. Like my 100 year old Agfa 5X7 view camera. So far I have taken two photos with it, just to test things out. Neither turned out very well.
I'm not using my D70 much either. The only time I use it is when I need to use the IR remote, which does not work with the D200. In other words; not very often.
So when I today came across some information about a company called LifePixel, I decided it would be a good idea to convert the D70 to IR. It does not look that complicated, and $145 for the IR filter is not expensive compared to having Nikon repair something. The only problem appears to be finding a Phillips screwdriver small enough for those tiny little screws, and even that should be possible. I even used to have one once.
With so many cameras I think it is necessary to have one for infrared photography. And in IR, maybe Iowa will finally look like the alien place it really is?

Hmmm, yeah, somewhere...
Do you think I'd get into a lot of trouble for sneaking into Nikon's repair shop and "borrowing" a screwdriver?
