These Astro guys are the best! Terry Lovejoy's excellent and rather scientific pbase gallery on removing the internal IR cut filter! Detailed step-by-step disassembly instruction for Canon's affordable dSLR. Be warned, you have to de-solder/re-solder parts! |

Gary sets new standards with this description of converting a 300D. This is as good as it gets! I used some of the links he collected. So please visit his site - it includes links to great galleries :) |

Maxmax now offers dSLR conversions. They come in two flavours: IR only (IR cut replaced with IR pass filter) or IR&vis (IR cut filter replaced with clear glass). Maxmax recalibrates(?) the camera's AF and meteringv system for IR.

|
Canon G1 |
www.kleptography.com/notes-irconvert.htm |
Don Ellis is not only an excellent photographer both in visible light and IR, he has some invaluable advise for potential modders - especially with a Canon G1- but his info about glass thickness is helpful for every camera. |
|
Canon G2 |
www.pbase.com/chunlo/modification_of_g2 |
Chun Lo shows how to convert a Canon G2 to infrared. Check his gallery for some good reasons why you want a modded camera! |
Fuji |
|
Fuji Finepix S602Z |
www.digsys.com.au/S602Y/S602Y.html |
Not primarily aimed at IR filter removal, but very nice parts break-down. Don't be fooled by the seemingly pinkish filter. It is cyan, see the pictures at the bottom. The pink probably stems from the anti-reflective coatings! |
|
Fuji Finepix 3800
( Fujifilm FinePix S304) |

donwright4687.fotopic.net/c250938.html (pics) |
Detailed description of converting a Fuji 3800. Extremely thin IR cut filter. So thin that I think that the 3800 is already a good IR camera without modding. |
|
Fuji 4900Z |
www.geocities.com/theolumens/uitelkaar.html |
Aimed at removing dust from the CCD, but very helpful if you want to replace the internal IR cut-filter. (found on camerashed.co.uk) |
|
Fuji 6900Z |
www.camerashed.co.uk/project12.asp |
Aimed at removing dust from the CCD, but very helpful if you want to replace the internal IR cut-filter. (Tons of useful stuff for all camera types there, too!) |

Nikon Coolpix 950/990 |
www.echeng.com/photo/infrared/wooten/
www.abe.msstate.edu/~jwooten/camera/lense.html |
The 950 is legendary for rivalling the Olympus 2020 in being IR-sensitive. Apart from that, the 950's small but high-quality lens makes it an ideal camera to attach to other optical systems (like microscopes and telescopes).
This site is a very good description of performing the IR filter removal on the 950 which pretty much also applies for the 990. |

Sigma |
|
Sigma SD10 |
heim.ifi.uio.no/~gisle/photo/ir4.html |
Not really modding - the Sigma allows users to remove the dust protector which doubles as the internal IR cut filter - suhweet! |

Sony 828/717/707...
Sony P200
Camcorders
|
http://www.maxmax.com |
This company sells IR enabled Sony cameras and camcorders. They state that the modified camera sees from "330nm to 1200nm versus a stock camera which can see from about 380nm to 750nm". As far as I understand, they replace the IR cut filter with another piece of optical glass which lets IR light through. Most types of glass do that, by the way.
