This conversion service replaces the cameras internal hot mirror filter with our high quality custom manufactured glass replacement infrared or clear filter. The DSLR autofocus systems are calibrated to the Nikon 50mm 1.8mm lens. This calibration results in general focus accuracy for most lenses from 18-300mm. You can also send your own lens to be calibrated to instead at no additional charge.

The X cameras are calibrated to focus universally.

Focus Calibration Information:

Please note that on mirrorless cameras, we calibrate the camera to focus universally with all lenses. For DLSR camera’s our post-conversion focus calibration is set to 50mm, and will generally focus well with most lenses between 20mm – 300mm. If you are sending in a DSLR for conversion and plan on using lenses outside this range, or using one specific lens, you may want to include this lens with the camera so we can calibrate the camera to it specifically. If you have any concerns regarding lenses and your DLSR camera; please reach out to our customer service team before shipping the DSLR to us.

We do our best to accommodate each and every one of our customers year-round.

If ordering one of our pre-converted cameras, keep in mind that they are made to order and are not eligible for rush processing. Please allow at least 2 weeks before your camera ships out to you. Plan for trips and assignments accordingly!

Any time frames that we provide, including shipping time, turnaround time, and rush processing times, are only estimates and are subject to availability. We make no guarantees on service time or shipping times.

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%

Reflectance Curve

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.

2 reviews for Fujifilm DSLR and Mirrorless Infrared Conversion Service

  1. Phil M

    I think I will title this review “Always”. They are Always there for you. When I first thought of IR, I didn’t know who to go to. So I e-mail Kolari Visions first. Asked about a 590nm filter to put on my non-converted camera.
    Ilija replied back almost instantly, that it would not work for IR. Wow, just lost a sale. I knew than that this was the company to have my camera converted with. So I called. Of course, not knowing much about IR conversations, we talked. In all the time we spend on the phone, Ilija never made me feel dumb. I knew I had the right person. We finally decided on the Two Spectrum conversation, the hot filter and the 590nm. As of this review, I have shot a least 500 frames. ? You know what they say,” I should have done this sooner” I am so pleased and happy with Kolari Vision, that as I write this review, another camera of mine is being converted. I really don’t know how you can make Kolari Vision better.
    I just posted my first photo in the gallery. I’m a star. ;D
    By the way, don’t forget to download the PS actions, if you have PS, because they will do the work for you in style.
    Now that I am getting in the IR groove, my e-mails to ILija are becoming more fun. It’s like dealing with a friend.

    DON’T HESITATE

    Kolari converted my Fujifilm X100s to 720nm.
    They responded well to my pre-shipment inquiry, kept me informed, packaged the return well and sent it back in a timely manner.
    The camera was returned with a custom white balance that seems ideal to me, so I have kept it going forward.
    I’m enjoying the IR view of the world and would recommend and encourage Kolari conversions.
