I have an infrared converted Canon T2i, which I love. Will Magic Lantern work with this conversion, and what will be the benefits?

Any info you can provide will assist me in deciding if I will run this firmware update on my IR camera.

I can't imagine why ML wouldn't work with a modified T2i unless there were changes to the firmware as part of the conversion. Assuming you are on f/w v109, the latest nightly build seems to be fine. However, it wold probably be better to post this level of question on the ML forum: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/

Good luck

In a nutshell, yes it will work. On the bright side, ML does not change anything to the guts of your camera. It is loaded on your card and is implemented when you turn your camera on. The camera boots from the card and not the cameras BIOS. Turn your camera off and replace the ML card with a normal card and there is no sign that ML has ever been on your camera. ML is a software based firmware change, nothing is permanent. Have fun.

Oh, how ML will deal with the IR conversion, I have no idea but for normal stuff such as time lapse it should be fine. However, things I wonder about are Dual ISO and Auto ETTR but would love to know how things work out in these areas if you are so inclined.
