I had originally thought of going to Maxmax for a conversion until I found Precision. Maxmax charges $450 for DSLR camera conversion and it looks like will convert either a G9 or G10. Precision on the other hand charges $299 for DSLR and $129 for the G.
I've run hot and cold over whether I should go with a DSLR or P&S and currently leaning towards the 1DsII.
I was going to say something about lightning in IR until I read David's response which does make sense. Of course I can see a static shot where one image is captured during the day and the other with lightning then combining the two.
Any idea of the turn around time for Precision?

There is light during that period, the sky isn't dark yet.

David see post #114 on this thread. There are more shots later some of which go a little over the top IMHO....

Jack: Yes there is still some light, but you said,

There certainly isn't a LOT of light an hour before sunrise or after sunset.
Jack: If you go to the link Terry posted above, you can see the effect. Also, if you ask Jim Collum about his IR images, many are done in the pre-dawn and post-dusk hour...

This discussion has really gotten me thinking about a conversion. Now which will it be - the 1Ds II gives me a choice of lenses although I'd more than likely stick with the 24-70 or do I convert a G10 for the fun factor as well as movies?
Jack -which camera did you use on those Moab images?
Terry - thank you for posting the link as I had completely forgotten about the images.
Don
Of course this isn't helping you find that 5D

Don: The Moab shots were done with a 720nm filter over the lens of my M8. The M8's leak enough IR to make images, so being able to mount a filter on the lens and still see through the RF viewfinder, make them viable to use either way
