Modification of 300D

Hoya R72. It's a little tough to get these days.

Oh, didn't realised you actually have to cut the Hoya R72 to make the IR filter!
Thanks deadpixel,
I'll prob get it from US instead then.

Does anyone know what dimensions you have the cut the IR filter to?
(So i know which R72 mm size to get!) Thanks!

Hey Pinkfuzzycat,
abit of googling and found this http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00HvN7
300D hot mirror dimension: 27.1mm x 19.5mm x 2.7mm
Alternative to Hoya R72 would be Edmund Optics, Optical Cast IR Longpass Filters
It's made of plastic, easy to cut, but also easy to scratch....
Cheers

Thanks ark! Happy belated birthday to u too!!

And oh, Max, which infrared filter did u use for ur mod 300D? And how much did u get it for, can u remember?
Thanks!

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I used the hoya R72 I had. 1 pcs of 52mm can cut 2 pcs for modding. but you have to be good at the cutting. Not easy.:sweat:
