I cannot find the D70, it's here somewhere. I will try with my D7000
Ken Rockwell says fake it in PS. He also explains Infrared Film capture well.

Don't you need to replace the IR blocking cover glass with something that has the same refractive index? Otherwise how can you make infinity, if your effective focal length is 2-4mm shorter?

As is often the case, the answer to your question is "it depends."
For example, when I converted my Samsung NX500 by removing the cover glass / hot filter / dust shaker mechanism, I knew I was only ever going to use adapted, manual-focus lenses with it, so it wasn't necessary for me to insure the camera could still autofocus NX-mount lenses, only that it could reach infinity focus with my adapted lenses.
Fortunately, the adjustment range built into the sensor mounting bracket is sufficiently large that I was able to tweak its position after I removed the cover glass, et al such that my lenses will indeed focus at infinity without replacing it.
Whether this method will also work with other camera / lens combos depends upon the other cameras and lenses.

Thank you. Yep...major storm was brewing but still had a few spots of sunlight hitting the trees. Managed to squeeze off a half dozen or so shots before I had to pack it in.
Very one thinks of landscapes when they think of IR but I really like it for portraits and people. The first is a portrait of my wife on 35mm Kodak High Speed IR. The 2nd & 3rd are with a Colari converted D3100 Nikon and the 4th is from a documentary series on tattoos. I felt IR gave a slightly different look due to IR’s ability to penetrate the outer layer of skin.
I started shooting IR back in the 60’s before the days of high speed IR. The original film was slower than high speed but it could be loaded in the camera in daylight. Many years later Konica introduces a slow but excellent IR film in 120. Other makers have introduced IR films but I’ve not had great success with them.
