Hi Sarah,
I would love to see some IR pictures from your camera.
After reading about the scan back, it seems it would not be
very good for action shots :).

Thanks
Mike J.

Just my $.02 worth, as someone who likes to shoot B&W IR landscapes with
a Better Light scan back and a large format camera.

I'm quite fond of shooting infrared, partly (mostly?) because it's
really easy to do with a a Better Light scan back. The Better Light has
no built-in IR filter, so you normally need to use an IR high-pass
filter in front of or behind the lens for visible light work. I like to
swap this for a (visible light opaque) IR low pass filter, which makes
it possible to shoot very high quality IR
