@evn1ngstar: I’m hoping to get a D50 or D70 and convert it to IR, and in that case I (and you) can always add color through various methods. Being able to stack a non-IR and an IR version of the image is nice for certain occasions, but I know having a converted camera would be much more simple and get sharper, more reliable results.
@fstopcarol: I’m familiar with the color/b&w combo filter you’re talking about, but unfortunately I have never used one and so I’m not sure what the best post-processing would be.
As evn1ngstar mentioned, make sure you’re setting the correct white balance (I had a picture of a fairly vibrant green patch of grass that I then set as my manual white balance). However, I’m not quite sure what the correct white balance would be for a color/b&w filter conversion. You could always try shooting one scene with bunch of different WB settings (including a handful of manually-set Kelvin settings), then convert them all to B&W in Photoshop or Lightroom and see which ones you like the best.@evn1ngstar: I’m hoping to get a D50 or D70 and convert it to IR, and in that case I (and you) can always add color through various methods.

This is a macro shot of a seagull feather with a drop of water on it, converted to black and white.
I take a lot of shots like this, where the “subject” is off-centered with quite a bit of its surroundings included in the frame. These types of shots just appeal to me for some reason, I’ve never been able to put my finger on it…
Rust colors have also always appealed to me. Another example of my love of off-centered subjects.
I’ve taken a large number of abstract shots over the years. Abstract and Surreal used to be my favorite types of shots!
