For years one of my photographic loves has been infra-red black and white pictorial prints. I shot these with a Leica M6, Kodak IR film and fully opaque IR filter. It worked great. The rangefinder, versus a SLR let me see what I was shooting through the filter. At one time I had a Minolta A2 that would shoot IR and took a filter. The IR image would show up with the EVF. Unfortunately I sold that camera to a work associate, and with the sale of Minolta to Sony am not sure I would want to buy another used.
Now I am hunting for a camera to do Black and White IR digitally. I find that my current cameras do not record IR or are so slow at it that it is not practical. I am shooting Digilux 2 and Canon 5D. Neither do IR and the SLR is out of the question because one cannot see the image.
Can someone give me a recommendation of a Prosumer or better EVF camera that will take filters? Lots of scene modes are not necessary. Manual focus and zoom options preferred but I will consider more point and shoot.
Surely someone else has found a sweet system for IR photography. Your recommendations and experiences please.
