How hard was it to modify the camera?

Physically, it was fairly straightforward and required just some forceps, a razor blade and a stereomicroscope. Mentally, it was fairly taxing (we alternated attempts to remove more and more to share the blame in case it all went horribly wrong at some point) and definitely needed a tea afterwards!

We did also find a few companies that would remove the coverglass for us (this is fairly popular for increasing IR sensitivity, for example), but there were some issues with sending them a PO that took a long time to resolve. In the end, we were too impatient and tried ourselves.

Funnily enough, the professionally processed camera arrived this morning. We've not tested it properly yet, but from a brief inspection under the stereo it indeed looks like they've done a nicer job than we managed!
