For demosaicing(sp???) to work, the firmware has to take into account
the color filters over each photosite. If you could remover the Bayer
filter, (which I think is impossible, based on my knowledge of how it's
applied), the camera would need completely rewritten firmware, possibly
even new hardware in the image processing engine. The image with
standard firmware will be subtly off, now that didn't stop photographs
in the past recording some version of reality film ortho film, but the
color and luminance values will be off, and you won't get the advantage
of the higher resolution since the camera will still process the image
to try to create a rgb image.

I would be just as interesting if not more interesting to me to have
the Bayer filter removed (is that even possible?). That would make
for a cool B&W camera. don't know if the software would support this
kind of image though (in raw).

I forgot to mention that the 28-105 is arguably the sharpest kit lens I've
ever used. I picked it up because I couldn't afford the 24-70, already had
a tammy 28-75, and didn't have a weather proof standard range zoom.
In decent light, I'm quite happy to leave it on my camera. I don't know how
it compares, other than speed and cost with the 24-70.
Also, when I got my K-1 I had a K-3 and a K-3II which made a nice pair for
when I wanted to use two bodies. I held off on selling one, but these days
only use one of them when I want to mount the 18-250 to have a small wide
range camera to carry around, I should do something with the K-3. One
option, and probably the smart one, would be to sell it. Another option
would be to have the IR block filter removed.
This is a topic that comes up every now and then, and the list of shops
doing it seems to change on a year by year basis. Has anyone had the
conversion done lately? Who did it, are you happy with their work and what
did it cost?
