Hello,
With the advent of dSLRs, infrared photography has become an easier task. Either get an older dSLR converted or use an IR filter. I've used an IR filter with my old Pentax K100d Super with pretty good (albiet soft) results.
I was thinking about picking up IR again, only for my Yashica Mat-12...

Question is, does MF have a place in the world of concert photography where ...

photobucket ???

Before they changed, I could upload pix, and choose a code for different forums, but now what? No coding, no common sense, just a big nothing. Asking for help is a waste on their site.
