huge snip

Have had similar experiences using the Olympus C2000z and am very 
impressed with it generally for IR work. I used the CoCam R72, 88A, 
and 87C.  The green tinted foliage effect you describe is less 
apparent with the 88A and is about gone with the 87C.

The effect is rather attractive and I do like your Vegas photos both 
the "B&W" and the colour combination.  In fact I think they are 
excellent and congratulate you on the idea.  if you would like to 
have a selection of three put up in the CoCam Gallery then please 
contact me off the list at gallery@xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm a sucker for Vegas shots and would like to spend at least a month 
there every year with loads of film, preferably in a pleasant hotel 
:-) You either love or hate the place.......  Although your photo 
works better, You may be interested in a different viewpoint of New 
York, New York at http://www.f32.net/f32Gallery/index.htm - it's at 
the bottom left of the page.

What is also interesting from your post is that you say the C2000Z 
uses the same chip as the CoolPix 950!  Do you have a info. source 
for that one?
