Hi Klaus
I understand that you decided to go on with this AA filter removal. When you get the camera back, I would be very nice if you could comment on the + and - of such an action (for instance auto focusing). Concerning the artifacts, hopefully we will see them on the pictures you always put online when you test a lens.
By the way, if I remember well, AA filter have special coating to help dust removal. Any change of AA filter could influence that.

According to the service company the dust removal mechanism remains functional. As far as the "coating" is concerned - they claim to be able to reattach the membranes again.
BTW, the filter is not just removed - it is replaced with a different one. This is necessary because the original filter has a certain color characteristic and the replacement filter needs to mimic this. If you just remove it the WB would be way off. The posted sample from the E-520 have a extreme blue tint in the original RAWs for instance because the filter was just replaced with a neutral filter.
