This should work. I think. This is my Mamiya ZD, a CCD medium format DSLR from 2006. It's rare, expensive, and I really don't want to break it. But this seems relatively harmless. The idea is to buy an extra removable filter cartridge and remove the IR cut filter from it, leaving an empty shell. That empty shell should trick the camera into thinking that a filter is in place and allow me to take pictures in infrared. When I want to go back to photographing normally, I can swap back in my IR cut filter and go between the two in a few seconds. That's the idea at least. My next step will be to maybe find an IR pass filter (just glass) about the same thickness that I can place back inside the cartridge. That would be ideal to still protect the sensor from dust, and also help the camera's focusing system.

Why didn’t you destroy the old IR cut filter and keep the new one to use??!!?

A tip for the batteries. If you can't find one it should probably be decently easy to do some makeshift solution. As long as you know the correct voltage you can just get a battery with the same, or combine several batteries to get it. Then just run some wires to the camera's battery connectors and have the makeshift battery pack taped to the body or hanging loose.

Wow, great results for just a little headscratching and a few bucks on a spare filter. I recently found a Olympus E3 kit with the 12-60 f2.8-4. I'm stoked because I've never owned a flagship anything, lol. I thought it was a great deal at $155. I've always owned second hand cameras, most of which purchased at pawn shops, considering they don't know what they're selling half the time.

Try installing a piece of glass in the filter frame.

Plot twist: James had straight hair until he started poking around the wrong side of this sensor. I like the tape to remove the IR CUT label from the no longer IR CUT cartridge.

Awesome vid mate, those photos are amazing! It's a shame about having to mod a piece of history, but sacrifices must be made for progress.

This is a very neat modification you made.
Industrial and scientific cameras have „bare“ sensors with a glass cover as well. I would caution you to get a broadband AR coated protective window if you intend to use this camera for any amount of time, as you will otherwise have nasty dust on you sensor rather sooner than later. Edmund optics or thorlabs probably offer something to suit your needs. I recently discovered that this is necessary the hard way, as I had been using a ccd camera with a bare sensor for a couple of months. Despite great caution, the camera only being on a tripod in my home and never taking off the lens. No amount of compressed air will get the dust off....

That is very cool! Can you explain the metering thing though, if it’s not metering off of what the sensor sees, what does it matter if there is an IR filter over the sensor or not? Don’t DSLRs usually have a metering “module” (don’t know the term) that works by looking at light that is reflected by the second mirror?

Awesome video! Good to see the modification was successful. The IR photos coming out of the ZD are pretty sweet.

A CCD medium format camera is pure dream material.

I wish you didnt crack that filter! I have Hasselblad H39 back but accidently dropped from desk! Now large part of corner is cracked! It is still usable but only centre of sensor! I did not remove filter because it is too bare. I wanted that filter but I saw you cracked so game over. Yes I love shooting with older professional cameras. They are just fine for my use! Less megapixel the better because it is much easier on my Powemac G4 !
