AR Coating
What is the AR coating and what does it do? The AR coating option adds an IR centered anti-reflective coating onto the IR filter we install when we perform an infrared conversion. It reduces hotspot artifacts that some lenses are prone to, and can reduce other stray reflections. On our full spectrum conversions we apply a broadband AR coating that covers the UV, visible, and IR ranges. The coating does not reduce optical performance in any way and is highly recommended.
Background:
Uncoated glass has a reflection of around 4-5% at all wavelengths, and we found that this reflection off the sensor filter was bouncing off the glass and reflecting back from the lens housing and aperture blades to cause IR hotspots. We developed this anti-reflective coating that is centered around the IR wavelengths that cause hotspots, and reduced the 5% reflection down to <0.5%
Conversion AR Coating
When applied to our internal conversion filters, we find that hotspots are significantly reduced during infrared photography. Below is a sample from a Nikon 50mm 1.8 which has a strong hotspot at small apertures. Independent tests also available from Mark Hilliard here and Edd Noble here.

Kolari Vision gave me great advice and perfectly neat conversion. Fantastic result. Package for shipping was also professional. Kolari Vision converted camera is the fifth IRR camera that I bought in the last 25 years. With my new IRR camera I can not be more satisfied than I am. Thanks Kolari

i am an artist and i work with the paranormal and part of what i do is collecting evidence of the paranormal. i have been acquiring equipment that helps me with this process and after having some problems with the quality of media i was getting with inferior UV and IR cameras, i decided to make the jump and spend more money on a refurbished a6000 with a full-spectrum conversion. i received the equipment sooner than expected after i ordered it on the Kolari Vision website and have since used it many times and i couldn’t be happier with the excellent job done converting the camera to a full spectrum (wide spectrum) camera. i can definitely say kolari vision operates under the highest standards and their final product is well worth the cost. my refurbished a6000 full spectrum conversion is now one of the tools i use most in my work. being an artist i have a very high expectation for image quality as i am sure many can relate and i would recommend Kolari Vision to anyone who is looking to have their camera converted. everything from my experience with Kolari Vision shows me they are passionate about what they do and that they are very concerned with providing their customers with the highest possible quality of work. thank you guys for being exactly what i was hoping you would be!!
