I've actually got 2 E-M1iis which I used in Botswana, and the 10ii is converted to Full Spectrum (usually for infra red shooting).

I'm sure you should take 2 bodies, but maybe keep the 10ii whenever possible in a clear plastic bag or in your camera bag.

Hi .... I am not at all aware of converting to full spectrum (infra red shooting) .

You said you do that with an E-M10 II ?

Can you give some examples when you use this and the results ?

And how much would it cost to do that ?

Thanks

Perhaps this isn’t the best thread to discuss this (although some wildlife photographers have used IR and other spectrum cameras with success), so here’s a link to the best known U.S. company that does conversions. The have a huge amount of information on the process and options: https://www.lifepixel.com/introduction

I had mine converted in the U.K. - I imagine there are companies that would do this for you in the Netherlands, but if you’d like details of a couple of good ones in the U.K. drop me a PM.
