Description
Brand new camera with original accessories, has been taken out of the box to convert to Infrared, Full Spectrum, Naked, or Astro as requested.
We can also provide this modified R5 with our overheating sensor passive cooling mod if desired.
The Canon EOS R5 features live view and an electronic viewfinder, two indispensable features for focusing and composing directly in infrared.
Cameras are made to order, allow up to a week for order shipment.
Conversion Type summary:
- Infrared – Converted and locked to a specific wavelength of infrared.
- Full Spectrum – Converted to capture ultraviolet, visible, and infrared; for use with any IR filters.
- Astro (UV/IR Cut H-Alpha) – Blocks ultraviolet and some infrared, but allows visible spectrum and some infrared at the Hydrogen and Sulphur II line; for astrophotography.
- Naked – Like full spectrum but exposed sensor highly susceptible to damage but with improved corner sharpness when paired with most lenses.
Package contents include:
- Canon EOS R5 Digital Camera (converted as requested)
- Battery and Charger
- All Original Canon Accessories
- Kolari Vision Camera Strap
Optional Add-Ons:
- Drop-in Adapter with Kolari R CPL (not compatible in IR)
- Drop-in Adapter with Kolari R Drop-in 2-10 VND (not compatible in IR)
- Drop-in Adapter with Kolari R Clear Filter
- ND Clip-In Filter Set: 3-Stop, 6-Stop, 10-Stop ND
- Diffusion Clip-In Filter Set: Mist 1/4. Mist 1/4 + 3-Stop, Mist 1/4 + 6 Stop, Mist 1/8. Mist 1/8 + 3-Stop, Mist 1/8 + 6 Stop
PLEASE NOTE:
A Note on the EOS R Series Lenses: The Canon R series mirrorless bodies do not have an internal IR LED, however many RF LENSES do! So, using most RF lenses on a converted R-series body can still cause IR light leaks, while using adapted EF lenses is mostly safe. Click here to read more about this effect.
Astro Modifications: At this time we’re unable to provide our AR/AS (Anti-Reflective/Anti-Smudge) coating options with Astro (H-Alpha) glass.
Optional Heatsink Mod: While we have seen these improvements with most camera setups, we have noticed that this modification’s performance can be negatively impacted by certain external devices and CF Express memory cards. Our tests were conducted and our results recorded using Sony Tough CF Express cards, unfortunately, we have found that ProGrade CF Express cards can cause greatly decreased heat dissipation performance. We have not tested other cards yet but be cautious if using card brands other than Sony. Additionally, while we have tested a number of camera setups we have found some variation in the performance based on the use of certain external devices and other parameters.
Sensor Cleaning: Sensor cleaning function disabled after conversion.
By purchasing you agree to our Terms of Purchase
Warranty
All of our conversions and converted or modified cameras come with a 1 year warranty for post-conversion malfunctions and electronic issues related to the conversion service.
This warranty does not include wear and tear repairs such as, but not limited to; shutter failure. Warranty does not cover user-caused damage, or other issues unrelated to our conversion services or camera modifications.
For more comprehensive coverage we highly recommend our Extend warranty, which also covers accidental damage.
Processing Time
Our standard turnaround time for camera conversions is 2 weeks on average for most models. This is only an estimate and not a guarantee. Our standard turnaround time may occasionally exceed 2 weeks during our busy season (April-August) or take less than 2 weeks in our off-season (September-March).
We also offer 5-day and 1-2 day rush processing options on our camera conversions for an additional fee. Our rush services allow us to coordinate the logistics of your conversion ahead of time to meet your deadlines to the best of our ability. Our rush processing time does not include shipping times.
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%
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.
