AdAstraPaul Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi all I was wondering, I have an old Canon 350D (no longer used) do you consider it worth having a go at modifying it? I have seen a few posts about IR removal and being a retired electrician looks straight forward ? (maybe). Has anyone done it and feel its worth doing on such an old camera? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have the next one up from that Paul the 400D. My eyesight is not as good as it was so I sub-contracted it out to astronomiser.co.uk who turned it around in 5 days. It cost £95 and was well worth every penny.

MarkAR Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 There are a couple of online how to's, looks like a fiddly job. Some delicate work required so easier to send it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lose screws all the time. I hear them ping on the floor never to be seen again! I also have dodgy hips so getting down to look for the errant screws is easy. But getting back up is impossible so I just don't bother ? - I must invest in a magnet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
