Infrared Digital
Why so many conversion filters for digital infrared sensor? Is there a cheaper source of the planet?

Although Lifepixel is just the big name maxmax.com maybe when it comes to conversion of infrared. Unfortunately, I know of other places that are cheaper to run the service reliably. The reason is both cost roughly the same reason, a single page in a wedding album costs $ 100 (more or less depending its load) or an 8×10 photo of a photographer costs more than $ 1.25 per print is available in store. You are paying for their experience. As mentioned, also sell the filter and you can do yourself if you wish. Both companies, I think to convert to a clean room environment. If you do it yourself, you can end up trapping the dust between the sensor and new filter. Besides, how often did you take your camera on hand so you can access the sensor? They made a business out of it, so that should be fairly comfortable with it and know what they do. You may already know, but if you just use an IR filter (I use B + W 092, 093, and 099 filters) on a device unmodified, can save the lower end of the spectrum that passes through the filter. Because the camera has always IR cut filter in front of the sensor. I had a 40D becomes in clear glass filter, so it is necessary for me to use infrared filters to the lens. Another advantage is that if you have a conversion that makes your camera in a dedicated infrared camera, autofocus can be calibrated to autofocus and not have to adapt to the records of its target of infrared. You will not be able calibrate the autofocus.
