My Genesis uses a KAF-0401 sensor that I picked up at the Kodak "fire sale " for US$80. At that price I picked up a spare, too. I have a spare set of electronics for the camera, also as spares.

Not being one to leave well enough alone, I have monkeyed with the camera. Nothing scarey, but just tweaked it here and there. A list of some of the modifications, enhancements, or additions, and the damage done:
 

A water back for the camera. It started out life as a University Optics mechanical parts kit for a CB-245.
 

A defogger for the front window. Only required because of the 100% humidity here.
 

A new front window, with AR coating, instead of the stock UV filter.
 

A video amplifier gain modification to get the maximum dynamic range from the camera.
 

Some video amp tests using a different video amp IC.
