Conversion options (see below for modification details):

1) Full Spectrum bare sensor modification.

2) Astrophotography modification.

3) Infrared modification (Hoya R72 filter).

 

How it works:

1) You buy the service.

2) You send me a message with your preferred conversion type.

3) I’m sending you the contact info to send the camera. You can even buy yourself the camera from a store of your choice and send it directly to me to avoid delays.

4) Include an SD card and a battery. I will add sample photos after the conversion. There’s no need to include a lens.

5) I convert the camera. It will take a couple of days.

6) I’m sending you the camera via Royal Mail 1st class signed for, nicely and securely packed.

7) You capture those wonderful photos!

 

Conversion options explained:

1) Full Spectrum bare sensor modification:

After the conversion, your camera will be suitable for Astrophotography, Infrared, Ultraviolet, and Daylight photography (assuming the correct filter is used).

This is the most flexible type of modification as the camera retains maximum sensitivity in all the above light wavelengths.

Explore a whole new world of creativity by capturing nebulas in vivid colour and dream-like IR photos.
Reveal what’s beyond the visible, mastering UV photography and at the same time continue capturing ‘normal’ visible-light photos.

This is a Bare Sensor Modification, meaning that nothing is placed in front of the sensor.

Note that the auto dust cleaning mechanism will not be available after the conversion as both the low pass filter and the piezoelectric element are removed.

Extra filter(s) are required with this type of modification depending on what you want to shoot (daylight, UV, IR, astro).

 

2) Astrophotography modification.

After the conversion, your camera will be suitable for Astrophotography (and Daylight photography with an extra filter).

Only the colour filter (Lpf2) is removed. UV/IR cut filter (Lpf1 – piezoelectric filter) is retained so the auto dust cleaning function will be available after the conversion. (In some cameras Lpf1 and Lpf2 are fused. In this case, a custom-made UV/IR cut filter is used and the dust cleaning function is not retained).

The camera can be used for RGB astrophotography without any extra filters. An extra filter can be used depending on specific shooting conditions and/or applications (e.g. light pollution filters).

 

3) Infrared modification. Hoya R72 filter.

After the conversion, your camera will be suitable for IR 720nm photography.

Both Lpf1 and Lpf2 filters removed and replaced with an IR filter.

The filter is not a cheap 3rd party semi-IR. It is a genuine Hoya R72 filter, the standard in IR photography that will give you excellent results.

Note that the auto dust cleaning mechanism will not be available after the conversion as both the low pass filter and the piezoelectric element are removed.

In all conversions, autofocus with any lens is guaranteed as the camera sensor is recalibrated.

Hi!

I’m Chris. I have years of experience modifying DSLR cameras. I’m a photographer myself, specialising in astrophotography.

Proof of Concept.

An SD card is provided in the camera. Focus testing shots are included in the SD card. Also included a shot in a blank background as proof that the sensor is dust-free.

Peace of mind!

*. Autofocus. Camera changes and limitations.

Most lenses available, are tuned to capture visible light. Other lights, for example, Infrared is longer in wavelength than visible light and focuses differently so you may even notice that in a zoom lens, Viewfinder autofocus is accurate in a focal length and a bit off in another. The recommended way to use (auto)focus is via Live View. In most cases, autofocus via the Viewfinder will work fine but it may be a bit off, depending on the lens and the settings. In typical landscape photography with a closed aperture (e.g. f/11) I expect that Viewfinder autofocus will work fine but for example in portrait photography with a fast lens wide open (e.g. f/1.8) I would use the Live View to focus.
Autofocus in Astrophotography is irrelevant as for astro we only focus manually.
