Modifying a DSLR Canon for AP

[shazstars01]

Hello all, 

I was wondering if there are any budding APs out there that have had a good experience sending their camera off to be modified for AP by any reputable online services? And if so, could they recommend any?

Many thanks 

Shaz.

I sent mine to Juan at cheapastrophotography.com a few months ago. He turned it round within a week and if he damages your camera he’ll replace it like for like

I did mine myself successfully (Canon 650D) and if you take a Sunday out of your calendar and carefully follow below instructions it is very easy to do! You only need to order a 50 pound Baader BCF filter.

I tear apart Canon 450D and 600Ds all the time to modify them. I did several of mine. I sell them from time to time

Smart man! I was thinking about doing this as a service as well, but in the end it's not really worth the effort/ money you make. I'd rather modify them for friends and people I know for free

Yes I usually don't do it on a commission basis to be honest. I just modify them when I got the time and the inkling to do so and then just pass them on. It's more a bit of fun. To be honest the amount of times I've torn a 450D or a 600D apart now I can probably do it with my eyes shut 😅
