Re: SX130 IS & Color IR

Isn't the SX130 the camera that shares the same sensor and lens with the G9?

I use my unmodified G9 for 720nm IR all the time.

There is a whole discussion here: http://www.lensmateonline.com/newsite/G7ir.html

And another four photos w/ one crossover. The airplane wing was naturally handheld at high ISO, but it works. As described in the Lensmate article, I set the custom white balance (actually ages ago at this point) and it simply works.

I think the hard part will be getting a filter adapter at this point as that part is a little different than the one for the G9 as I remember.
