We saw thie beige coloured swan last weekend and it was there again today. I wasn't quick enough to get a decent shot.

I'm wondering if it is a leucistic black swan. Apparently it's a genetic thing where they lack usual colour in their plumage.

Introducing "blob" - the small wad of blutack I'm using to document the screws being removed from the M6, whilst I hopefully convert it to IR.

must say some of the ribboncables are tiny!

Still a work in progress Pete...
Think I've blundered a little as I should have disabled the sensor auto-clean function before taking it apart, so tomorrow I'll put the main board back in, fire it up & disable cleaning, before continuing. Must remember to discharge that flash capacitor after the brief powerup!

Just back from relocating a motorhome from Auckland to Christchurch. All my hopes and plans went out the window due to something we have no control over .......the weather.
It rained through north island and low cloud in the south that then turned to rain. Photography was not that great in part due to the rushed nature of the trip.

Having said that it was the first time I've been through Lewis Pass so now I've been from picton to chch both ways.

I took more photos with my cellphone than I did with DSLR ...... the dslr shots weren't that great.

It's called getin' 'moody' shots. Shame you did not have more time.

You've done a lovely job of getting a gentle curve glass cut in such a small piece of glass :)

you're being very kind... :lol: actually when it broke, it showered the sensor itself with little glass shavings, so I was lucky really that it didn't scratch the cr@p out of it.
Took to it with the vacuum cleaner to get all the dust & stuff off & a quick clean with pec-pad/eclipse and good as new.
What I didn't know then (and I do now: see picture) is that the black plastic IR filter holder thingy comes off the sensor itself, if you only remove the right screw....

Looks very complicated! Have an M5 that I wouldn't mind converting to IR, but think it is beyond me!

I wonder how much it costs .....

I have found with that sort of thing, there seems to be more glass if it gets even the simplest of breaks, than ever was present in the first place. As you say, hard to clean up but I had a large badger hair brush (very expensiff) was a shade more gentle at rounding up the chips.

Kolarivision (in USA) do Canon M5 conversions from US$275 plus you'd be up for shipping both ways.
There was someone on Trademe doing conversions, I'll have a look for a link if that helps.
