Thanks, well, there's actually a market for Infrared Photography because the website called Lifepixel, www.lifepixel.com/ they actually selling a lot of different Infrared filters for many different cameras, but I think the price is a bit high, at least if you also look how much TAX one sometimes have to pay, depending what country one is comming from ( in Denmark we pay a lot of TAX when buying things on the internet). So I cut my filters from normal R72 (720nm) and that's much more cheaper, of course I need to take the camera apart but that's not a big problem ( Fuji X is a bit tricky ), and in that way I can make a video so other people hopefully can do the same if they feel confidence to do that. Sorry, i don't do it as a service.
Hi Mike, this video is delivered just on time as I also wanted to convert my old d610 in full spectrum :). My aim was rather to replace the anti IR filter and the glass above with clear quartz and use a filter in front of the lens and not the sensor. What is the advantage of your operation ? Then I wanted to know why you needed to glue the filter ? Is it because it s thiner than the 2 previous pieces of glass and to avoid it moving because of the play or is there any other reason ? Thx for your feedbacks :).
Thanks, well, you can of course take out the anti IR filter and replaced it with a Quartz glass, that's also a way to do it. The next problem when you put, lets say a R72 filter in front of your lens and then looking in the viewfinder, you will see a black or very dark viewfinder and that makes it very difficult to focus on anything, but of course you can use the Liveview, because then you will see the actual picture that will be taken. The other problem is also that the camera need to be adjusted to correct focus, because the focus point is a little off shooting with a converted camera, so one has to use the little red dot on the lens to set the focus, and NOT the Index mark! But I prefer the filter in front of the sensor, in that way I can better see what I point the camera at. Hope it makes sense :-)
Yep, here is the measures Nikon D610, the thickness of the Hot mirror is 0,77mm and the Anti-aliasing filter is 0,45mm. The thin paper spacer that sits between Hot mirror and Anti-aliasing filter is 0,08mm. The IR filter I cut out from a normal round Hoya filter has the thickness 2,18mm
Wow.... Your knowledge weights in gold. Thanks to you a bought manual lenses for my cameras. You gave me the confidence to modify them myself.
Thanks for useful tutorial
Very interesting.
Hi Kenneth, do you plan on using these yourself or is there an actual market for these?
Keep up the good work!
Hi, yes there is a market for IR converted cameras yes, or the conversion.

@@mikeno62 Hi Mike. True that with a reflex it s better to do like you do. Thx for the explanations. Cristal clear !
Hi Mike again. Do you have the thickness of the IR filter and the hot mirror for this camera ?
Yep, here is the measures Nikon D610, the thickness of the Hot mirror is 0,77mm and the Anti-aliasing filter is 0,45mm.
The thin paper spacer that sits between Hot mirror and Anti-aliasing filter is 0,08mm.
The IR filter I cut out from a normal round Hoya filter has the thickness 2,18mm
@@mikeno62 thx a lot for these précise figure Mike. I appreciate. Have a nice Sunday.
