    Speak to him personally - ask him how he gets his IR glass - where's it mfg'd? Tolerances, etc... That's the critical part.

    Maybe March next year then (when I'm expecting the upgrade for the

    20D to be announced)! It all depends on your budget and intended

    use: some people are already replacing their 20Ds with 5Ds. And I've

    even had people asking about getting a 5D converted (they're after

    very wide-angle imagery).

    Whenever, just let me know.

    Currently I'm working through my stock of Hoya glass supplied through

    a firm in the UK, but I'm hoping to have pricing this week from a

    different supplier (of Schott glass).

    What sort of data were you after?
