An M8 with about 7K worth of actuations, for a great price.
Pick it up when I redeploy back home. I'll probably need an IR Cut filter too.

Yashica Minister 700 and a wide variety film (Kodak color, Fuji color & b&w, Ilford, Kentmere - only way to find out what film I like is to shoot it all)
Still waiting on the battery for the Yashica so I can use its light meter.

Bought a black Nikon F with a (I think) Photomic FTN, a Nikkor 24/2.8 and the F36 Motordrive at an local auction last weekend. Bought it because, well I couldn't resist it (and I got it for a good price).
I've shoot one roll of film with it and it came out just fine and I really liked the camera. It will probaly became on of my main film cameras along the M2.
Also got an Olympys OM-1 with a 50/1.8 in used but working condition and an Agfa Super Silette 45/3.5 with a stuck focusing ring
(now fixed, and I think I managed to collimate the lens.) a couple of weeks ago at a second hand shop.

Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7 lens.
Picked up a GF1 body last week and this seems to be THE lens to pair with it.
At least the body came with an instruction book!

Panasonic Gf2 and 17/2.5 pancake kit. Last in shop at £230, which doesn't seem unreasonable for a small kit to throw in my work bag.

This week I bought:
Olympus E-PL1, practically new, with M42 and M39 adapters. This is the only camera in my collection for which I own no native-mount lenses.
Yet.
I also bought a S-M-C Takumar 50mm F/1.4 to replace my Super-Tak 50/1.4. (Anybody want a Super-Takumar?)
and I bought a 101mm f/5.5 soft focus antique meniscus lens in a modern copal shutter, courtesy of Large Format user Jim Galli.
I don't know about Kent's G3 specifically, but most often it's just a matter of removing the "Hot mirror", or infrared low-pass filter, on the camera sensor. You may optionally replace it with a filter that blocks visible light, but lets IR through (like a 750nm IR filter, for example), or leave it off and have a camera that's sensitive to the entire spectrum of light, and put filters on the front of the lens to shoot IR, visible, or UV.
Lifepixel.com does conversions for a reasonable price.

Hi, Raid!
The protective glass in front of the sensor has been replaced by a 830nm infrared glass element.
The cam needs to be taken apart almost for that. But I didn't do it. It was already done in the cam I bought. That's actually the only reason why I bought it.
