This is incredible. I never heard of this. Please tell me more (I don't speak German or I'd read what they say in their site myself).

I just had a quick look: this is their "undefined" conversion (which happens to be the cheapest, too), and basically gets the most out of the sensor, i.e., allows for the recording of the spectrum from 380-1100 nM (visual spectrum is approx. 400-700 nM). This conversion increases the sensitivity of the sensor, and the resolution too, as they replace the moiré-filter as part of the operation.
The pricelist for these conversions, as well as for their filters, is here:

In order to limit the spectrum, they sell a bunch of specialized filters, where the EFO or "IR – Neutralisationsfilter NG" filter is the replacement for the AA- or Moiré-filter in the standard sensor assembly (and which also cuts out UV and IR). IOW, rather than have it done deep in the camera, in the sensor assembly, it gets done by an actual high-quality filter mounted to the lens. All the other filters in the pricelist indicate in nM what the cut-off is, so I giess those speak for themselves.
In addition they can adjust the AF for any wavelength you like. Personally, if going for the complete spectrum, I would keep it standard, and live with manual adjustments.
When you buy the conversion plus filter, you get a 5% discount on the filters.
So, what you get this way, in short, is a camera that can record all wavelengths from 380 to 1100 nM, with filters to limit the range of this spectrum, either for normal photography, 5 different bands of IR photography, UV-photography, and fluorescence photography.
All at a price, however <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
