Go with the CFA removal and the Full Spectrum VIS-IR conversion. Which options should I get without having to get too technical? But no accessories, batteries or memory cards-I donвЂ™t want to have to babysit the extras. If you are paying with a check or money order, you can include that in the box. Nothing but the camera and the signed Service Request Form. Using PayPal is theВ surest way of avoiding delays. A USPS money order will assure a quick turnaround. If using a check to pay for the service, the camera will be shipped after the check clears. If I use a check, will this slow down the process? I cannot warranty the other parts of the camera, since I have no control of the use it will undergo. IВ thoroughly check the function of the camera after conversion and am satisfied to offer 1 year against malfunction of the sensor after the conversion with normal use.

The sensor is made of silicon, and is quite hard. What kind of warranty do you give on a CFA removal?Д¬onverting to monochrome, or removing the CFA, is actually quite benign. You will receive a tracking number and an ETA for the package.В Shipping times vary. I contact you via email once I start, and again when IвЂ™ve finished and am ready to ship your camera. Full-Spectrum IR only conversions (retain color) take just a couple of hours. I can do an APS-C sensor in about two days. The CFA removal, monochrome conversion, takes about three days for a full frame sensor once I start the process. When can I expect my camera once you receive it? Noise is a little less also, so the files should look better. You can shoot in lower light situations due to this increase. The resolution is not increased since the camera is compressing the file during capture.

You will get a converted camera at the price paid, and as promised.Дoes this conversion affect the movie functions of the camera? However, if Murphy sticks his ugly head in and something does go wrong, IВ simply put in another converted sensor at no cost to you. I currently have a 100% success rate on these conversions. However, if you donвЂ™t have any interest in IR photography whatever, or donвЂ™t like using filters, then I will leave the IR cut filter in place and you will have a great, high resolution monochrome camera that behaves similar to B&W film. See Full Spectrum IR Conversion for more information. General rule of thumb here is to use the IR cut filter outdoors in daylight, and leave it off when shooting indoors or at night. My setup is with the IR conversion, and then I have an IR cut filter to useВ when needed. The VIS-IR conversion not only allows you to shoot IR photographs, but it increases the sensitivity of the sensor. I recommend the full-spectrum VIS-IR conversion simply so that you have all options open to you at any time. If I never plan on taking IR pictures, do I need the IR conversion? But if youвЂ™ve been considering the Leica Monochrome, this is certainly a viable option, considering the price point difference-this option is easier on the wallet. Along with the film-like response from the sensor. The top two are increased sensitivity and resolution.

ThereВ are manyВ benefits from converting the sensor. That is always an option, but since you found your way to my site, you should see sample images that compare the two methods. Why not simply desaturate a color image to get B&W? And since I donвЂ™t use autofocus anyway, IВ cannot guarantee the results. I donвЂ™t have any numbers to prove this, it is just a gut feeling. TheВ conversion increases contrast, so the focusing is a little faster when using the contrast detect AF. Contrast detect AF still functions as expected. Removing the CFA from the sensors that use Phase Detect will reduce or eliminate its functionality. Since the camera uses color information for Phase Detect AF, this function is reduced see next question. All other functionsВ of the camera remain in tact, and function as expected, except there is no color information. One could argue that the removal allows the sensor to run cooler, since this layer traps heat-this would be hard to quantify, of course. Not at all.В I donвЂ™t use any harsh chemicals or machines during the removal of the CFA. Does this conversion harm the sensor in any way?
