Hey, nice shooting. I also had a K5 converted to IR last year. I stuck it out and waited to find a decent used K5ii at a fairly good price, as I wanted the supposedly better AF of the ii. I ...

Nice. I would like to try it myself but the opportunity hasn't really presented itself yet. I'd be happy if they come out like that!

I upgraded from *istD to the K5iis so I've been reading this thread with interest. I wondered about upgrading but K5ii is such a great body - prices are still good used but I bought a K5ii to ...

I did this - managed to find a K5ii and had it converted to 720nm. Yes the conversion cost as much as the camera. Do I regret it?  Hell NO

It's a sadly repeated story with Pentax, or so it seems.

Those are great, really sharp even with the converter. Are those cropped ? Cheers, Rod

for taking the time to look, and for the great comments. Those made me really happy today :-) Cheers, Rod

Very cute !

Great shots, hope you escaped unharmed by those wing spurs - they look sharp!

Beautiful !

beautiful :-)

wow thanks for that - impressive.

That's nice. We didn't get over that side of the cliff.

I meant to include this one, this is my fave shot of the day, from the top of Malham Cove. K5IIs + SMC-A 28mm f2.8. Panorama in ICE, also converted to BW.

Yes we walked up the dry valley to Malham Tarn. Must have been an impressive sight!
