I had my conversion done by Lifepixel in the US (check out thier website - very informative)
It cost me, in 2009, £325 for the conversion + lens calibration. Plus there was carriage on top + I also got stabbed for an addition £40 by uk customs n excise when it came back into the country
Lifepixel seem to have an offer on at the moment so conversion + lens calibration is about £240
Thank you for the helpful reply.
1) Dont get a lens calibration - thats $125 off the base line straight away
(though you will have a lot of learning to do about adjusting focus manually)
2) There are companies in the UK that do the conversions that might be worth checking
3) Lifepixel sell DIY conversion kits which are much cheaper - I personally didnt have
the confidence to strip a camera down but I know Mark is more than capable.
4) There are usually quite a few converted cameras for sale on ebay quite cheaply.
Often they are Sony 'bridge' cameras or 'point and shoots' but they do give good results
I will definitely have a peek on ebay to see what is about, thank you for that option!
To do it myself is just not an option and neither is focusing manually, sadly my vision isn't all it used to be sadly. Pah will get there one day.
I really appreciate you listing all this, thank you very much
