Though it’s not film, this is truly a beat-up camera. I’ve had it for a pretty long time and it’s based off of a Nikon D100 camera body.
The D100 was hands down, without a doubt the worst digital SLR I have ever owned. I bought it when they were first introduced which if memory serves me was 2002 or 3. About a month in to using this miserable device I switched to Fuji cameras and put this one in a bag. It stayed locked away until I heard about a company that could permanently convert them to infrared.
Taking away this camera’s ability to shoot in color was by far the best thing that could happen to it. Knowing that this effect was on the novelty-ish side, I decided that I would only use it for a few shots per wedding and would limit the subject matter to a very specific look.
To convert a digital camera to IR you have to do two things. The IR cutting filter that is over most camera sensors must be removed, and the camera’s firmware must be adjusted to only shoot monochromatic images. Of course, just know that while in theory it’s reversible, you’re pretty much ruining the camera and will not be able to use it for anything else.
Considering subject matter is important when using IR and people. As most know, IR tends to make grass and leaves record white, blue skies dark, and does all sorts of funky things with synthetic fabrics. Oh, and then there’s the effect of completely black eyes when people look at the camera. Overall,
kind of ethereal and creepy. For me, defining the way I would use this in my wedding work was easy. Wide angles for lots of environment, shoot only in bright sun for maximum effect, and never direct the subject to look at camera.
Did I mention that IR light doesn’t focus at the same distance as the visible spectrum? This means that auto focus is just a close guess of where the lens 
should focus which is another reason for the use of a wide angle lens and a small aperture of 16 or 22. I used a less expensive Sigma 15-30mm that I had laying around. It catches great flare and is the only lens ever placed on the camera.
As the years have gone by I admit I use it a bit less. Out of a few dozen weddings this season so far, I would say I have used it at three, but the tides will turn again some 
day and you might see a lot more.
