Infrared conversions?

My infared converted E-PM2 has died

Who does infrared conversions in the EU (not UK or US)? I've got an E-M1 for treatment.

Re: Infrared conversions?

I and several friends have used Protech, and we've all had a good experience with their service on Olympus bodies.

Quite a few people in my camera club have used Advanced Camera Services, but when I approached them some years ago they said they didn’t have much experience with IBIS bodies. I’m sure that’s now changed, though.

Ah, apologies: just spotted the ‘not’ UK!

Re: Infrared conversions?

No, unfortunately it's no longer possible to get things sent between the UK and Portugal.

And I don't speak German, which could make the other suggestion complex, but we'll see!

Sorry: I certainly didn’t vote for that 🙄

Re: Infrared conversions?

Before I write to them, do you happen to know if they speak English, or should I hit Google Translate?

I can manage in a few languages, but German and Dutch are regrettable exceptions

I did have email discussion with them in English, no problems there.
