Astromacdaddy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Where can I find someone in the UK that will modify a Nikon DSLR for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjg Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Not sure exactly what modifications you mean, but these guys https://advancedcameraservices.co.uk/ did an excellent job in cleaning / servicing the sensor on my Sony when a guts of wind blew a load of muck onto it. They also do the IR / UV mods. Hope this helps? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael8554 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If asked nicely I expect the people at Chris's link could do a "Full Spectrum" mod, so that the camera can be used for Astro. It's strange that there are so few sources of Nikon mods. A bit like the Betamax / VHS format war. Same with Canon/Nikon ? Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottletopburly Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I think Nikons are harder / more work involved in modding Nikons , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900SL Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) There's a guide online for the D5XXX models but the tricky bit AFAICT is getting the sensor flat after modding, which is why I didn't try it myself Edited March 11 by 900SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybadger Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I bought a replacement filter from AliExpress and then did it myself (to a Nikon d5000) The first time I managed to break a Flexi PCB clip resulting in no longer being able to use the rear switches but controlling it remotely was no problem . I did a second one and it works perfectly. There was no problem with realigning the chip since the chip module just bolts flat as it seems pre-shimmed. Images taken since have no obvious flare.
