Panasonic Lumix DMC G1 G2 G3 G5 G10 GX1 GF1 GF2 GF3 GF5 GF6 GH1 IR Conversion Service to 550nm ,720nm and Full Spectrum.
IR Cut filter on a sensor will be replaced with chosen by you 550nm, 720nm IR pass filter or clear quartz filter for Full Spectrum conversion. With fixed wavelength conversion you don't need any filter on a lens to get infrared images and camera will work with standard exposure times as normal camera.
With full Spectrum conversion IR cut filter on a sensor will be replaced with clear quartz filter. It means that you need IR pass filter on a lens to get infrared images but camera will work with standard exposure times as normal camera as oppose to long exposures if you would use IR pass filter on not converted camera. It is possible to use it as standard camera as well when IR/UV Cut filter is put on a lens.
Full spectrum conversion is costlier option than fixed wavelength conversion but it gives you unlimited opportunities ...
I tried with Panasonic 14mm, 20mm , 14-42mm, 14-45mm, Olympus 30mm, Olympus 14-150mm and there were no hotspots, but Laowa 7.5mm had hotspots.
Conversion will take up to 3 days.
I will put 10 days on listing because it counts the time from purchase till dispatch and includes time for the item to arrive to me.
Please don't use Special Delivery as it will creates many problems to me- I will not be able to sign for a parcel as I am full time employed and then need to collect parcel from Post Office.

There is few important steps to do to be able to process images correctly.
1.Create Camera Lens profile in Adobe Lightroom
1.1 Open RAW image in Lightroom and Export it as DNG to known location.
1.2 Open exported DNG file in DNG Profile Editor and set White Balance to -100 in Colour Matrices and export profile to Lightroom folder.
1.4 Import Develop Profiles to Lightroom
1.5 Restart Lightroom
1.6 Open image in Lightroom and select newly created Camera Profile and Apply it.
2. Process image in Photoshop
2.1 Swap Red and Blue Channels
2.2 Create Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer and adjust Hue to Blue
2.3 Open Camera RAW Filter and adjust Hue, Saturation and Luminescence for separate colours in Colour Mixer.
It is creative process but very pleasing. Learning curve is quite steep but when you master it pleasure is undeniable.
Take images in a bright sunshine with blue sky to get best results. Experiment with custom White balance to achieve better results.
