Have heard it's quite expensive to get done in Australia, a lot of people do it them selves. I did my 350D a few weeks ago and it's really easy to do, if you want replacement filters they aren't to hard to get ether.

Cheers
Jo

I recently did my third mod on a 1000D. I took a different approach, removing both factory fitted filters and fitting an Astronomik UV/IR clip-in filter from Bintel. Auto focus works fine.

550d

May one ask, is the 550d similarly easy ? Is there a step by step guide on the internet somewhere ?

Hi gents, have a look at Gary Honis's site especially the comparasion between Canon DSLR filters...here.

He has guides on pretty much all Canon DSLRs here. Also check youtube for videos by Gary and others.
