Re: Any experience with Coolpix 950 for UV photography?
Hi guys,
My name is also Colin and my current infrared setup using my 950
includes a 3rd party wideangle lens with a 37-52 step up ring and a red 25a
filter and my results so far have been very unimpressive unfortunately, I
will be picking up a 87c this week so i'll see how that goes. i will post
the digital infrared ones to my site www.evolutionarydeadend.com in a few
days.. currently i have a few shots using konica infrared using my
N70. But by sunday i should have the digital ones as well.
Peace
Colin
