Is there any DSLR that can be bought without the infrared block on the sensor?
I am looking to buy a new dslr camera sometime soon here, and one of the things i want to play around with is infrared photography. I know that almost all, if not all, DSLRs come with an IR blocking filter underneath the main sensor, under the mirrors. Does any one know if there is a way to purchase a DSLR without this filter? I understand that without that filter, i would need to purchase a ir blocking filter to go over the lense if i want to take a normal photograph, and a separate filter, likewise, for an IR photograph. Or, is modifying the camera my only option here?
There are small shops you can find online that custom remove the IR filter from the sensor.
