Is there a way to put an OLPF in camera's that dont have one?

So, is there a way to buy a third party OLPF and install them on a camera's sensor that doesn't have it out of the factory? 

I have 3 camera's which I need for my work. 2x S1 and soon also a S5. 

The only thing bothering me about these camera's is the moire I see everywhere. Now replacing these 3 camera's with S1H's isnt an option for me. Way too much money. 

So I was wondering if any company makes OLPF's for full frame sensors and one could install them on the sensor. 

Anyone knows anything about this?

Rawlite make them for Blackmagic cameras, so it is possible. But also camera specific, and who knows if they're developing it for any other systems.

As a stop-gap measure, could you use a filter on front of the lens.  Companies like Tiffen offer various models.

Obviously something on the filter stack would be easier, but in a pinch...

But do they need to be specifically made for this camera or sensor? 

I mean, those are pretty generic full frame sensors. Cant we just get an olpf from any manufacurer on and glue it on the sensor and call it a day? 

(im kind of kidding)

This is a very interesting side by side between the S1 and S1H specifically looking at the OLPF aspect.

It does beg the question whether the OLPF from the S1H might be available as a spare part from a Panasonic service agent as that would appear to be the path of least resistance to have the same capability on the S1. 

Apart from taking them to pieces to fit them of course 😉

Here is a teardown of an S1R to give you an idea of what that entails but if you can find a camera repair service that are able to source the parts from Panasonic then they would obviously be able to oblige on that front too.
