Nervous about taking the risk of modifying your camera yourself? 

Can't be bothered with the time consuming and delicate procedure?

Don't want to pay out costly sums for a IR/UV filter change or removal? 

No worries, we will mod your Canon/Nikon DSLR for you, leaving you with peace of mind and an excellent astrophotography camera in its place.

We do work on the following DSLR models

• Canon : 10D/20D/30D/40D/50D, 300D, 350D, 400D, 1000D, 450D - filter removal or replacement.
  

• Nikon:  D40,D50,D60,D70/D80 + D100 - filter removal only
  Please note: There is currently no locally available replacement filter available for Nikons ( they can be purchased from here http://www.lifepixel.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_list&c=3 ), so daytime with autofocus photography will not work properly. However, if after the filter removal, you wish to use the camera normally, you can use a X-Nite CC1 type filter available from http://www.maxmax.com/aXNiteFilters.htm or the custom white balance setting on the camera to compensate.

The filter removal will leave your camera with improved spectral absorption capable of vastly increased H-alpha and red response (up to 98%), up to 5 times the standard filter, which is particularly useful for capturing images of those faint but stunning emission nebula. Daytime photography will work with a custom white balance set on the camera. The autofocus will not work, only manual mode.

A filter change, requires a new high-quality Baader ( ACF I, II or III / BCF )  filter to be put in place of the standard filter, which will still allow daytime photography and auto focusing.

 

*Turnaround time approx. 3-5 working days, so you can get your camera back within a week, no need for lengthy waits.

**Our  promise to clients is to return your camera in same working condition as it was sent, or send you a replacement camera of same model with the required removal/change work carried out.

*** This includes special next day insured delivery to your doorstep.
