Hi Folks, Has anyone tried the ZD (without the IR cut filter) for IR?
I would appreciate hearing how it performs.

Read my post directly above... Yes there is focus shift, but removing the filter from the ZD basically moves the PoF enough -- and in the right direction -- to compensate for the IR focus shift. So IOW, the two cancel each other out. Pretty cool for ZD usersthere WILL BE the focus shift.
no, we put a new one. actually quite a story... it happened in moscow, where kodak did not have an official dealer for digital backs. the girl was desperate as she had to shoot someone for russian vogue in a few days. i chacked with kodak, and it was $1560 backordered item. i found an antialiasing filter for the original proback for $300 on ebay and fedexed it to moscow. she had it reset by a local camera wizard into a frame of the original filter for another $200. later i learned that a 72mm UV/IR-cut filter on a lens would work just fineJack, Thanks for checking. Is this a ZD (whole) camera or the back attached to a Mamiya AF cam as Guy has?
Irakly: Is that DCS back with its broken IR cut filter available for sale?
The ZD back on an AFDII camera. I do not know about the fixed-back ZD camera...Jack, Thanks for checking. Is this a ZD (whole) camera or the back attached to a Mamiya AF cam as Guy has?
Thanks, David. I am truly flattered! I am trying to figure out how to move up from a Digital Rebel 400D that I have converted to infrared, and up to medium format.Andy,
Welcome to the forum, I've admired your work for quite a while and going on one of your photographic safaris is a dream of mine. Maybe someday..
You can call me evil Andy. Nothing like getting people to spend more money! Thanks for the very flattering comments. I am not worthy.Andy...
Great IR photographs on your site. The line of elephants on your home page is fantastic!
Let us know what you find out on the filter. After seeing your work, now I'm interested in the Mamiya as well.
Yeah? That would be wonderful!Hi Andy, and welcome to the forums! As for the filter, try shooting the ZD with the IR cut removed first -- the file is so IR heavy at that point you may find you don't need any IR filter on lens or camera anyway
Cheers,
