A future project - a 350D conversion "kit"

[h0ughy (David)]

http://www.cameraaction.com.au/produ...160969&dept=18 and a conversion from
http://www.burren.cx/photo/ir_conversions.html equals a cheaper way of getting a modded DSLR for astroimaging. Totoal cost less than $1500 AUS, and everything here in australia. Unfortunately David Burren is out of the country at the moment but will return the week before the June long weekend. There is a possibility I could have this before Queensland Astrofest.

Originally I was going to get Robbie fix up the camera I currently have ( 300D), then I thought about getting David Burren to put a new filter glass in giving me a clearer screen on this camera. Now thinking about it, I might go the whole hog and get a modded 350D. This seems to be a far cheaper option than getting the Hutech modified camera. Now my question is would there be any difference between the cameras?

Probably not houghy...does he do the mod with the UV/IR blocking filter instead of the clear.

The only difference I can see may be possibly the quality of glass he puts in and only the 6 month warranty...but it sounds good....go for it.

this UV/IR filter -can it be bought somewhere and sent to David Burren?
