I found following auction on e-Bay. According to you, is it a so rare "official" version from Nikon, as the seller is pretending, or is it just a normal D1 which has been "customised" a bit by taking off the IR filter ? And what does this really bring ?

I wish to all a happy 2006 year, with lots of vintage cameras.

An "Official" infrared camera would be well marked as to not be mistaken for a regula production camera. Kodak marked theirs with an "ir" after the model name on the serial number plate. Looking at the sample pictures, I suspect this is a modified camera with the cutoff filter removed. The IR portion of the image, i.e. the green foliage, is coming out bright white. A color IR camera would try to mimic IR Ektachrome and use a different Mosaic filter on the CCD.

Personally, I wouldn't pay much more than a normal D1 would sell for.
