Just snagged a ZS8, so this looks tempting. Just to be certain, you didn't see a need to add a substitute piece of glass when you removed the IR filter from the sensor assembly? Thanks.
If you don't put an infrared lens on the front it will be almost a normal camera - I think. You need the infrared lens to limit the camera from picking up the visible light.
How dark is the viewscreen? Can you see what your shooting with that filter on? Would be nice just to replace that IR blocker with a cut piece of filter.
I can see just fine. The image instead of being in color or in black and white is red and white but the viewing is easy and the autofocus still works great.
Good job and interesting operation to give a second life to old and no more used camera . Thx for the instructions.
Omg i have the exact same! Thank you for this tutorial!!

Correct. I got it cheap and was prepared to fail. Worked out fine.
love it
Sorry follow-up question: what kind of colours would u get if you don‘t put an Infrared lense in?

hello, any notes on exposure compensation? will i have to use a tripod and take long exposures and use high iso?
I just dial it to P mode and shoot. It works great that way.

which filter should I buy to get colors like Kodak aerochrome ?
I have no idea, mostly because I don't know what aerochome looks like.
