I finally took the leap to have my old D50 converted to color Infrared. I took it to Spencer's Camera & Photo (which is about 1 mile from where I live) and it will hopefully be done today. I will post photo's as soon as I get my camera back.

Alrighty folks, here is how it all fared.
Depending on how you shoot, you can get completely different results. I shot RAW+JPG so I could try it every which way I wanted.
Out of the camera (NEF RAW and JPG) here is what you can expect:

Here is what you get when you convert to a DNG (DNG's only go to 2000K on the white balance, so your result will be a lot more red than your JPG):

Here is the result when you "color channel swap" correct the JPG or camera RAW version:

Here is what you get when you do the same to the Adobe DNG file:

Overall my experience was good working with Spencer's Camera. They set up a custom white balance and calibrate the AF for you. Here are some more tips to help you get started.

Your gonna have fun with IR! I've thought of doing this with my D70 but converting it myself. I currently shoot infrared with a Sony 717 that has an IR filter on it.
