As a matter of fact, I was just looking at one of the IR galleries--here's Alan's URL http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=895783&a=13232052&f= He's using a Hoya R72 on a Canon G1. My understanding is that some digitals just don't work very well with IR filters due to the way the chips deal with light. Now, I'm not sure if its because the G1 has outstanding low light capabilities or something else, but it works very well wtih the Hoya filter. I should have explained that I didn't mean "MY" camera per se, but the particular model. I do plan to buy the Hoya filter, but since I just ordered a new Canon 420EX external flash and a Sto-fen Omnibounce for it today, I decided to hold off S. However, these images are very compelling to me. I told him that while they are very nicely composed images, they would not have been so compelling in color. I'm not sure if its the way the red/sepia + b/w scramble your head/perceptions or what, but these grab me--particularly his #7.
