    Reference Books For Digital IR

    I buy all. Search through amazon, and you'll find that there's less than 10 books on IR photography :-( Out of those tens, only a few says something about DIGITAL IR. <sigh>. Although film-IR and digital-IR are alike, each is on each own, different, path. In short, buy all those books...

    Ref: thread ID # 183234 In Thailand, we success in removal of IR cut-off filter from Canon 300D, Canon 350D, 10D, 30D and Nikon D70. Some people success in converting Olympus E-1. Rumor says E-500 too, but I never see it. No hotspot with Oly 14-42mm kits. About modified Canon, so far...
