summer heat cool it down from a balmy evening 25degrees to about 7 degrees, far far less noise....... www.centralds.net go on I know you want to.
think - those lovely results - in an instant...... why not check out his filters light response curve.... scroll on down to the graph look at it - love it

Now don’t go blameing me for you having to agonise and think about this hard decision you have already made – if in doubt buy a second hand camera and get that converted, much cheaper. I bought mine new – used it for 11 months then sent it over to the doctor. Never looked back. When you order it, get the 12 volt power supply and battery adapter for the camera – allows you to use it in the field off a battery porta pac. But who am I to merely put these type of suggestions to such a seasoned and hardened professional such as yourself.

Also theTC-80N3 timer is a great choice, as too a nice L series lens – such as the dedicated f2.8 200mm one or the 135mm. RB talked me into the first one! I use a 4 gig card with mine LOL.

I also have a regulated power supply that can supply the voltage to use with 240V mains.
