Once I had my Olympus C-2040 Zoom converted to the 2040IR I got hooked and found possibility after possibility which could be done. I'd be happy if you follow on this journey from a broken 2040 bought on ebay to a 2040IR "Monster". | |
"Look Mum, I created a monster!" |

Currently, the 2040IR is my main IR camera, and I removed most of the attachments. So, what can this baby do? |

Reader Gabriel also modded his 2040 and says the following:I couldn't get glass in time, so I used 3mm thick acrylic (plexiglass) to replace the hot mirror. It's seems to be working really well, with no obvious aberrations.and As for the acrylic, I work at a university and we have big sheets of acrylic laying around. These are coated on both sides with protective paper, so scratches weren't as much of a concern as getting all the glue off (I soaked in Isopropyl alcohol for about 15 minutes). |
