I performed my own complete full spectrum mod.( Not de-Bayering. That is a different affair and one which I would never attempt!)
After this , what you do as regards in-lining , clip in, becomes your choice as to what to insert, whether UV-IR cut, CLS, narrow band, UHC etc, etc.
The full spectrum (nothing in front of the sensor) mod opens up ALL the possibilities and choices.
Thanks goldstar,
I am using a Nikon D5300 which does not use clip in filters unfortunately.
Yes, I’m sure that there are more options with the full spectrum mod.
I checked out the mod for my Nikon and it looks like more of a pia than most Canons. Several points on the PC board must be desoldered.
I really like the camera, so I’ll play it safe and have a service perform the conversion.
Thanks for your helpful information!
Thanks,
Jim
Hey Jim,
If you like your D5300 so much then just keep it and get a 2nd hand body on Ebay, they are dirt cheap for $200. Add the $275 for LifePixel and it's really not worth losing any sleep over.
Good luck!
