I know, right? My copy was delivered to me last week. I received one last year as well. It is a catalogue, but only for tools. To be honest, I am surprised to see Sears is expanding their tool selection to include some pretty nifty new stuff that isn't complete garbage. The fact that they put it in a format that can be carried to the outhouse is just icing on the cake.

Poor man's IR camera?

A long time ago (13 years?) I bought an Olympus C2020 Zoom digital camera. For it's day it was a pretty good camera, with 2 mega pixel resolution, LCD on the back, etc. Earlier this year I decided that it was the third, unneeded digital camera hanging around, and I donated it to Goodwill.

THE VERY NEXT WEEK I happened to be cruising through some camera forums, and found a discussion of how certain digital cameras are actually quite sensitive to IR. All you have to do is put a certain filter on it, and it blocks visible light and admits the IR. Guess which camera is the no-holds-barred champ of IR conversion? The Olympus C2020 Zoom, of course!

For those interested, here is a link:

Infrared Photography Basics

Since then I've wondered whether a digital camera setup per above would be useful in certain diagnostic situations.

I seem to remember taking IR pictures using a SLR camera decades ago.

Don't put it off. At the current rate of decline, they won't be around much longer.

Sears is hurting right now. It's a buyers market if you have the cash.
