thanks! this one was shot with a converted Nikon V1. I've had others converted, ao a Nikon D300. I like the Nikon 1 cameras for their small size. if you care for them, I'd recommend a V2 which is easier to use than a V1 (pretty awkward control/menu system). you may be able to get one cheap, second hand. check out groups like Infrared-People and Infrared-Club for inspiration! cheers, rob

Thanks. I think the V series is sold under J here in SA. In which case I should get one at a good price as Nikon SA no longer sells the 1 series here. Should be lots of disgruntled sellers

hm, the V and J are different series. the V1 and V2 have an electronic viewfinder, which is very helpful for IR/full spectrum shooting: you'll see what you get.. and yes, Nikon seems not to care a lot about the 1 series anymore. the lenses are fine (10-30, 30-110, 18.5 mm) and inexpensive. good luck!
