Building a G-Series Infrared Camera

[Don Ellis]

Some of you may know that I'm shooting infrared with a modified Canon G1 which has had its hot mirror (internal infrared cut filter) replaced by clear glass, producing a camera capable of normal shutter speeds with either a Hoya R72 or B+W 093 infrared filter.

Since I began posting photos from this camera on my website, I've had several people write and ask about modifying their own cameras.

Thanks to the technical knowledge and generosity of Tony Kaplan, the man who did my modifications, plus my own undeniable skill in creating a simple HTML file, the secret to converting your G-series camera is now online at www.kleptography.com/notes-irconvert.htm

I have been looking for a used G1 to do this with recently and you saved me the trouble of creating a post asking about it :)

Ohio? OHIO? I spent two years at Rocky River High School in suburban Cleveland. It was the nicest school I ever attended... so of course we had to move to Illinois.

You're welcome. :)
