I feel the only way you can tell how good a business really is, if you have a problem. I had a minor issue, Protech they sorted it without question, very promptly and costing me nothing. I’m very impressed.
All I can say is thank you to Protech for converting my old D70s to full spectrum.
The service was excellent with constant communication on progress etc.
The results are fantastic and it’s great that it’s now forcing me into thinking about light at a whole new level.
Highly recommended👍
Thanks to Protech Photographic for converting my Lumix GX8. Communication was excellent and work has been done fast. I took a lot of photos this summer then I changed for an EOS R already modify on which I mount some STC filters bougth with Protech.
Great experience with Protech Photographic.
Merci beacoup from France. :-)

Just recently had my nikon z50 converted by protech repairs. id like to thank them for there brilliant service joanne kept in touch with me and responded to all my emails within minutes i cant do anything but sing their praises 10/10. i just wish all businesses offered this level of service.
thanks again
Adam :)
I’ve shot infrared using a Hoya R72 filter on a standard camera for many years and my only regret about getting a camera converted is that I waited so long to do so. Very happy with the service from Protech Photographic, and my converted Olympus E-M10 IV is great.
Protech converted my Olympus OMD EM5. Very pleased with the results and the service. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you. Tony
Protech Photographic converted my Nikon D5300 for me recently- the process went off without a hitch, and now I have a fantastic full-spectrum option for photography (specifically Astrophotography, but also Landscape.)
Thanks! ^_^
what an exceptional company, i cannot thank this company for their service that they have given me in converting two cameras canon 30ds i am still working on the photos that that i have shot, i will put some in when i have them ready. i belong to one of the largest camera clubs in the midlands i have recommended this company to my club members when we last met on line. again what a company the help jo and kelvin gave me was first class
Delighted with the 720nm conversion on my Nikon D750. Wanted to share a few images but unable to locate anywhere to achieve this on your web site and attempting to post to your facebook page faltered because yours or my privacy settings won't permit me to post anything. Great job though and such a friendly, helpful team.
Sent my ageing Nikon D7000 to be converted to a full spectrum Protec did a terrific job my camera now is better at focusing and the pictures era just a little sharper. Great to be able to use a lot of different filters on the lens to get different results
I recently had my aging Nikon D80 Converted to infrared by means of the 720 nm sensor change. I have to say the conversion was quick and professionally done. Jo and Kelvin were helpful with advise into getting started with Infrared photography, I can thoroughly recommend Protech Photographic if your thinking on getting your camera converted. Thank you Protech Repairs, some of the fun has returned into my photography.
Really impressed by Protech, who dealt with a ridiculously neglected, filthy and abused Nikon 18-200mm lens. Fast turnaround, incredibly reasonable cost and with a sensor clean thrown in, highly recommended. Many thanks.
Thanks for a great job fitting a 720nm filter to my unloved Canon 550D - it's been a great success!
Very impressed with Full Spectrum conversion on my Nikon 5500 would recommend them in a heartbeat
Even set up a Custom white Balance.
Many thanks David
Had my D800 AA filter replaced after multiple other camera repair shops quoted extreamly high figures or said they could not do it. Very friendly bunch and very quickly respond to any questions, no matter how trivial. A year later, after the CF slot on my D300 was damaged due to a faulty CF card, they sent me out a replacement unit they had very quickly for practically nothing (that I fit myself). Would not hesitate to recommend Protech Photographic, if I ever need camera repairs/servicing/modifications done in the future, they are at the very top of my list to call.
Had my Fuji XE2 converted after selling my converted Nikon D70.
I was not aware that I had left a memory card in the camera, which Protech forgot put back in, as soon as this was discovered Jo emailed me to inform me of this and the card was delivered the next day.
Still a first class service and first class customer relations.
Many Thanks
John.
Have recently had a Fuji XE1 converted with a 590nm filter. Excellent service from Protech, with great guidance in choice from Jo. Quick turn-around on conversion. Highly recommended.
Impressed with the service on one of our cameras, so had another one done for my wife. Excellent customer service.- and have used the IR cameras for some time now with no complaints,
Brilliant, spotless conversion of an ageing Olympus E-P2 to 590nm.
There was also unlimited advice and support from Jo, who will generally answer your queries within a few hours, even if you have yet to be a customer.
Specifically recommended for this type of work, and without the faff of dealing with a US company. Trust them, you won't go wrong.
Brilliant service! Jo and Melvin were really helpful and gave me all the information needed to undertake UV and Infrared photography. The turnaround was less than a week! We use the camera in our Medical Illustration department, and it works great.
Thanks
Pete
This is an exceptional company to deal with. They did an infrared conversion on my Fuji XE-1. Jo gave me some very friendly and useful advice on infrared conversion. I had my camera back within ten days and I am extremely pleased with the work carried out on it. I would have no hesitation whatsoever, in recommending Protech Photographic, and would definitely use them again. They simply stand out from the crowd!
After searching for UK companies with positive reviews to convert my Nikon D90 to I.R. Protech seemed an easy choice. I was hoping against hope for a quick turnaround for a job I had on the following week. Jo said she would see what could be done after confirming receipt of the camera. I was gobsmacked to receive it a couple of days later and working straight out the box loaded with its custom white balance. I can't praise Protech's service highly enough - fantastic!!
I had been meaning to get my Canon Powershot 210SX converted for some time but kept putting it off as I was worried about it having to be shipped from Europe to the UK. My mind was put at ease from the first email I sent to Jo -- very polite and helpful. The service was quick and professional -- around 10 days from sending my camera for conversion to receiving the finished product. Payment wasn't an issue -- a simple bank transfer soon sorted that out. As to the quality of the IR images, they are absolutely fantastic. White balance was already custom set when I received my converted camera and foliage looks spectacular. Lots of people have been impressed from the pictures I've posted on Facebook.
Would definitely recommend anyone in Europe looking to convert their camera to use this service. Absolutely first class!
The service from Protect Photographic is exemplary. Following an initial call when I was able to talk through what was available and what would suit me best, to me sending my old D70 on Monday 19th and receiving it back, converted to IR using the 830nm filter, two days later (!), talking to and emailing Jo, I could not have asked for better.
All I need now is some time away from the day job and some good sunlight to get cracking and using it 'in anger'! There will be images posted to my flickr account the first opportunity I get.
Thank you so much.
I remember more than 40 years ago the hassle of producing decent infra-red photographs in my darkroom. I gave up eventually having got but a few that I regarded as passable.
Having just unwrapped a Protech modified G9 I was utterly staggered to see how good the images are - and this is before I tart them up !
Thank you so much for the friendly, courteous and speed-of-light service.
Hi all,
I pondered long and hard about converting my beloved D90, and where to send it , was told protech is the best and after a chat with Jo sent it . wow speedy and efficient , don't worry if you don't know what your talking about Jo and the team will sort you out. get it sent..
Good communication from the first contact by email, polite and helpful. I asked to convert my Canon s110 with a 720nm filter, it was done without any problems.
I bought a second hand Nikon D50 camera which had been converted to recording infrared images by the use of a 720 nm filter. The camera works beautifully and is in pristine condition and the service and advice given by Jo and Kelvin was first class. I can thoroughly recommend Pro Tec.

Many thanks for converting my Powershot G10. It's given the camera a new lease of life and is producing some amazing images already. Looking forward to playing around with channel mixing and white balance to see what sort of effects I can create.

Many thanks for converting my Canon G11 to 665nm. I needed it done really quickly and Joanne was really helpful. I posted it on Tuesday and it was back with me and taking IR photos on Thursday. Great personal service. Highly recommend.
What a superb company. Courteous, helpful and efficient, Jo couldn't have been nicer to deal with as a contact. They even gift wrapped my return package as the conversion was for my birthday. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and will should anybody else in my photo club want an infrared conversion. Extremely pleased with the results.
What a wonderful company to deal with. My inquiry did not result in a sale for them. BUT. The help given to me was outstanding. Several very helpful email replies from 'Jo' not only giving me information, but also including alternative suggestions. If I ever decide to get a full camera conversion, this is the company I will deal with.
Thank you so much for the great job you did on my camera. You provide the sort of service that I felt had disappeared from todays world. Courteous and efficient. Brilliant !
I shall recommend your firm to all members of my local club and beyond.
Thank you again,
Peter
Just got my Canon 1200D back after having a full spectrum conversion completed on it, and I can't say thanks enough, it performs flawlessly, Just have to find some magnificent scenery to match the quality of work done and get myself a larger selection of filters, then I can really start experimenting. Thanks Protech
Broke a pin on the card reader module of my Nikon D70s and these guys fitted a new one in a couple of days. Great price, excellent service what's not to like! :)
I cannot thank this company enough! My d7000 nikon was damaged by a cleaning pen that I bought for the sensor! Emailed protech and was told how lucky I was that they had replacement part, it only cost me �100 and my trusty steed is back in my hands and taking shots perfectly!
I could not be more happy with the service and workmanship, absolutely perfect!
Recommended wholly... Brilliant THANKYOU once again for the first class service!
Took my Nikon D80 over to these guys on 7/5/14 at 9.30 and collected my converted camera at 12.30 the same day. Within another hour I was at Sheffield Park Gardens shooting Infrared images. I am delighted with the conversion and the service Protech Photographic provide and would not hesitate in recommending them for Infrared conversion. These guys offer customer service as it should be.
Get at last some sunshine time for my Nikon D70 to come out into the world of IR. I've been waiting months.So don't delay, I must get out and shot some. I would also like to thank Kelvin and Jo of Protech for there helpful service to me over the years.
Just got my Lumix G1 back from a 720nm conversion. Many thanks for a great conversion and excellent service. The whole process only took 3 days, communications were friendly and helpful, and the camera is working and focusing perfectly.
Now if only the weather was as helpful :)
After going full frame I was left with a Nikon D7000 that I was itching to get converted to IR. I scratched that itch last month and cannot believe that I waited as long as I have to get it done as it has opened up a different world to my photography.
Jo was very helpful and answered all my questions and even ensured that I received my camera in time for the weekend, even after the stupid courier that I used messed up on the delivery.
Even after I have given them my business they continue to support my queries and really cannot fault their service or the quality of their work (and I fall in to the OCD category with my equipment and how I take care of it).
Heartily recommended and would most definitely use again.
Many thanks for fixing my leica 3f first class job regards neil
Got a new camera last year so my 450d wasn't getting used at all.
Now that it is converted I am using it all the time and really enjoying it.
Really pleased with the service from Protech. My camera was back within days and got loads of advice
on how to process the pictures and set white balance if I want to change it at any time.
The photos look really great.
I am really looking forward to using the 450d now.
Recieved and used my converted canon 500d and lovin it made the right choice having my camera converted. (very please thank you)
Many thanks for a great conversion. A Canon S110 converted to 720 IR. Would definitely use again.
cheers, david
Once again, Jo and Kelvin come through with the goods. This time I got them to repair and fit the 665nm filter to my D70s and also fit a 590nm filter to my D90. They both arrived here in Sydney in less than a week, thanks to the Royal Mail. About a year ago they sent me out a D70/720nm which introduced me to the wonderful world of infrared. All I need now is the 830nm filter and I'll have the complete collection ! Nobody in my photography group does infrared, they just don't get it, but when they finally do get it, I won't hesitate in putting them straight onto Protech. The best in the business !
Very pleased with the conversion of my Canon 500D.
The 665nm filter has already given me some interesting and unusual photos.
Will be able to look forward to sunny days that are too bright for normal photography as they are perfect for IR.
Thanks for a firsf class service given be protect. The turnaround of my Canon 40d was 3 days. I was so impressed with my first inage.
on Monday 20/08/2013 I spoke with Jo, concerning my needs, and I subsequently sent my Nikon D90 for conversion (with a Nikon 10-24mm Lens). Thursday 22/08/2013 I was holding my fully converted camera.. excellent service.. Jo kept me fully informed, both by text and phone calls. the service was second to non, absolutely first class. I would not hesitate to recommend folk to use Protech..
as I have, literally, just got my IR ready camera I have not got a clue regarding processing so the state of my photos has nothing to do with this excellent company..
The service was excellent with constant communication on progress etc.
The results are fantastic and it’s great that it’s now forcing me into thinking about light at a whole new level.
Highly recommended👍
