Filter Quality: We always use our premium Pro AR/AS antireflective coating option during conversion on medium format cameras!

GFX – UV Photography / Dust Reduction System: Please note that by default this service will retain the dust reduction system but may not provide optimal results for UV photography. If you are planning to use this for UV photography please reach out to our customer service team and we can perform an alternative modification technique to improve UV performance at the cost of the dust reduction system.

Focus Calibration Information: For Mirrorless cameras we calibrate the camera to focus universally with all lenses.

NOTE: If your camera is close or not able to reach infinity focus after an IR conversion, install a Kolari Clear Magnetic Clip-in Filter to fix the issue.

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 once the camera has been received. 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, please keep in mind that they are made to order and are not eligible for rush processing. For most camera models we need to order these in to our facility which adds some lead time. We’ll inform you if we encounter any additional delays or issues with stock availability. Please allow at least 2 weeks before your camera ships out to you and 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.
