[TEST] Modify Fujifilm X-M1 to Full Spectrum

[marivesel]

Having some spare time. Removed the "IR-block" and "Sensor Clean" glass filters from the X-trans sensor.

Compared to non-modified Fujifilm X-A1, the "Full Spectrum" X-M1 gathers about ~1.5 stops more light in the same light conditions (without IR or UV filter on lens).

Posting this just to share some experience and information. Anybody else tried "Full Spectrum" modifying on his camera and get the same results? (more light gathered)

Some of the more light will be IR & UV, which will be more chromatically aberrated than the visible spectrum. So the interesting question is whether you've bought more light at the cost of losing some image detail.
