Has anyone tried an IR conversion on a Monochrom? I know that places like Kolari have plenty of Sony's and things like that, but I've been contemplating getting a second monochrom and converting it.

 

If anyone else has tried it, I'd love to hear how it went

I haven't converted my monochrom, but I shoot IR all the time with an BW 093 filter.  The results have been quite good.  Have you tried just blocking visible light?

Which one, M9M or M246?

I am using the M9M.

Before I did the IR conversion on a T, tried the filter route on my 246. For me, was well worth it to do a conversion. But you have to really want to do it and dedicate a camera to IR. The T was a great start and not a deep investment, picking one up used which is even more of a steal now than was then. Earlier I posted some results on the T forum, might still be there. Just found some around page 93.....
