Guy, any shots without the IR filter in place?
I am dying to see how a file looks without the IR filter.

No Andy i have yet to try it out yet . Jack did and the one issue he ran into was keeping any dust out off the sensor. BTW welcome did not get a chance to formally welcome you after i signed you in last night. Love to do the Africa gig with you sometime myself. Sounds like a blast but anyway this is a great option to this back because you can remove the IR filter. I think the only one that you can actually remove. This is something Jim Collum who doe s a bunch of IR work wants us to test also. Jim uses the Mamiya body and a Aptus 75 back and actually one of our moderators here and also teaches at our workshops.Guy, any shots without the IR filter in place?

YOU MAKE MY HEART SING........Guy Mancuso; said:I just did this one in C1 beta in B&W . This is the Mamiya 55mm and it is one sharp cookie
Thanks, Guy. Glad to be here. Hey, I would love for you to come to Africa sometime. I am spending more and more time in Namibia these days, all in an effort to gather more content for a book. Probably the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.No Andy i have yet to try it out yet . Jack did and the one issue he ran into was keeping any dust out off the sensor.

Truth be told, I have some test shots I am too embarrassed to show -- they were taken specifically to see how the ZD sans cut filter responded to IR and have less than zero artisitic appeal. Suffice it to say, I am not in a hurry to do more IR with the ZD until I have an appropriate subject for it: It took me 45 minutes, three attempts and 9 swabs to clean off the naked sensor front, filter rear and filter front, just to get it back to the point where I had no dust bunnies... And no, the canned air would NOT blow them off, they needed the Eclipse and swabs. Like hanging freaking flypaper when you have to keep two surfaces clean before you assemble them to clean the third... FTR I *HATE* dirty sensors.Guy, any shots without the IR filter in place?

You weren't the only one, so no worries. I was curious too. But truth be told, it was really all Jim's fault.Jack, My apologies if my query cost you much distress.
Be advised that if you do remove that filter and drop it, it is $1600 to replace . Also be advised that it is kind of fidgety to get out if you have big fingers like I do. Be further advised that when it sails off the back and you react quickly and are lucky enough to catch it, you'll have tons of fingerprints covering both sides of it to clean off :wtf:. Then when you cuss yourself for being so careless :cussing:, you'll have a few drops of spit-spray on your now naked sensor glass that needs to be cleaned off too...
:banghead:,
Hey Guy...Very nice hand me down my dear. i have to say i am pretty impressed and that is not easy to do. These files are loaded with detail that I have not seen in a long time like this. Actually credit goes to Jack for twisting my arm.
Oh, of course it was...I assume this was all a big hypothetical .... :angel::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Geez, I need to loosen up!Oh, of course it was...
