Hi Goran. I have done 3 conversions so far and the easiest was to remove both factory fitted filters (1000D) and use an Astronomik IR/UV clip in filter from BINTEL. I have tested autofocus and it works.

Previous conversions were to a 1000D and 5D MKII using Astrodon inside filters. You need dust free conditions. It's fiddly and in hindsight unecessary - might get a few arguments on that one.

Some conversions refit the low pass front filter, which is an antialiasing device. My observations are that images are sharper - you don't need it, whether you go for an inside or clip-in filter.

Follow the Gary Honis instructions for disassembly and reassembly, and you should be OK.

The 1000D is a hardy little camera. I have subjected 2 to several cooling conversions and they just keep working.
