Re: Latest trip to the cemetery with infrared XE1

Hi Vic,

Thanks.  Very interesting.  I've never done any IR.  My initial reaction was to like the B&W #3 the most, which is what I've seen more of, but the colored effect is growing on me.  It has a weirdness about it that is appealing.

If I wanted to try it, how does one go about getting a camera converted?  Is it DIY, or do you send it to a specialist technician?  And was there a reason you chose the XE2?  And the cost?  I wouldn't have my main (XT1) camera modified, so a second body would have to be inexpensive.  XE1s are going for a song these days......  I suppose a used one is the answer, but was there a specific reason you chose the XE2 over any other body?

Thanks, Rod
