Video is in Japanese by Daitocamera (one of my inspirations) :o :o :o
even if you don't understand the language it is interesting to see it in video form rather than pictures. ::) around 1/4 of the video is just him complaining anyway
-
Hmm not really working the link,,,,,
-
link should be working now :o :o :o
-
Not sure what it is;
Not available now - Try later,,,
-
It is working in Melbourne at this time. Man he can talk! ::)
It runs for 1:09hr?
-
It works from home, so it is most likely blocked by a filter,,,
-
Just looking for a few seconds at this video and it seems he has no clue at what he is doing,,,
LifePixel has tutorials,,,
-
Apparently it was originally intended as a one-hour streaming live. He couldn't complete the re-assemble of the camera. :o :o :o
At the begining of the "show", he says that he had once converted another D200 for IR for his friend but forgot how he had done that.
-
Thank you Akira, poor guy :)

i actually just listen to him complaining :o :o :o like a radio show

He looks like a typical "Otaku". 8)
-
i think he is. :o :o :o
he is my kyushu junk shop rival. ::)
i like his videos. there are many times when he cannot complete his dismantling on time and would just add an edited version or pt2 with the working product.
to be honest, i just listen to him complain while he take apart stuff like "wow, this is really stuck!" or "why did they have to use so much glue!?" something like that.

here is mine, where I made a mistake of opening something from the wrong end
-
Ouch,,,
-
If there is any consolation, I've done the same error to a PN-11. Thanks to my blunder, Erik got one (in pieces) for free !!

OK, that made me feel more than 2x better (seriously) :o :o :o
i want to slap my face back then haha
-
I like this guy can't understand what he is saying and lost me after the third screw.
I would have to video tape myself dismantling my D200 so I could put it back together.

i mostly listen to this guy for entertainment. :o :o :o
he seems polite but he sometimes say mild expletives.

Actually the D200 is fairly easy to open and work on, especially compared to many later cameras,,,
And a capable performer if you don't need high resolution, the benefit of not having the aa filter is increased sharpness for many lenses in IR

which would be better? a D100, D200 or a D2XHS or whatever that camera was called. :o :o :o
-
The D100 is probably not a good starting point. However, D200, D300, or of the bigger brothers D2H or D2X all could be candidates for IR conversion.
-
If considering buy a camera for IR conversion the D300s has a conveniently located Live View button on the back of the camera while Live View is a bit fiddly on the D300 as it's selected on the Release Mode Dial.
-
Thanks for the info, Dave. LiveView is definitively an advantage for IR work, in particular using lenses with a massive IR focus shift. Unfortunately, the latter situation is quite common.
-
I see, thanks for the tip! :o :o :o
-
The flex-cables in D300/D300s are a pain to re-seat in their connectors and there are a spiders-web of them, so take care when working on them.
-
Thanks for the reminder, good thing those are still way out of my budget for now :o :o :o
the D2XS seeps appealing to be honest
-
I used to shoot D3 with D2Xs and D200 [IR] on the side on the NikonGear Safari in 2009,,, D3, D2Xs sold long ago,,,D200 still clicking away, last year I cleaned the rear display on the inside, it had hazed up a bit internally, now good as new.
-
Richard,
Neither the D2Xs nor the D200 have Live View if that's important to you.
You will probably find manual focus with the D2 series easier than the D300 series. I could use a 1.2 eyepiece on my D2H but can't on the D300s. I shoot through glasses. I can't see the in camera data the 1.2x eyepiece on the D300/D300s.
