I counsel against using the Irguy@... 
http://www.irdigital.net/:  he never returned the first D30 I sent to 
him and didn't answer emails.  My experience dealing with him was far 
from good.  Since I am in Europe, taking action against him would 
have been difficult. Others have alleged that they have not been 
satisfied, in this thread and at 
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic2/120589/0#972006 or search for 
the topic with the words "Taken by a Fraud & Scammer" posted 
by "Figtrees" posted on August 13, 2004 .

Roger Salmon, in the UK, replaced the filter that digitalIRguy 
installed in a replacement D30 and corrected for focus.  The results 
were so very markedly better.  I recently p'exed that D30 that Roger 
had re-modified for a D60, and I am thrilled with it.  I have no 
hesitation in recommending him: a gentleman!  Contact him at 
james.salmon@... .  I guess for US list members it might 
appear to be more expensive, but not in my experience compared with 
the IR guy.

Be warned- caveat emptor!
