Description

This conversion service replaces the camera’s internal hot mirror filter with our high-quality custom Pro Anti-Reflective Anti-Smudge Full Spectrum quartz glass filter. The autofocus systems are calibrated to work universally with all lenses. We do not attach our filters with double sided tape like a competitor does, we use a permanent mechanical fixation that is fully sealed from dust. Don’t risk your filter falling out.

Free Domestic Shipping, Quality glass filters

Autofocus calibrated to work with all lenses
List of models we convert:

Micro Four-Thirds: G1, G10, G2, G3, G5, G6, G7, G85*, G9, GH1, GH2, GH3*, GH4*, GH5*, GH5s, GF1, GF2, GF3, GF5, GF6, GX1, GX7*, GX8*, GX85*,(GX800/GX850/GF9)*, GX9*, G90, G95, GM1*, Fz2000

NOTE: Dust systems are disabled after conversion, EXCEPT in the G1.

* These cameras contain an internal diagnostic IR Led. This can cause light leaks when using very long exposures and high ISOs in the H-alpha and IR enabled conversions, in the range of 30 second exposures at 6,400 ISO. Can be worked around in most cases by using the camera in silent mode.

Our checkout system is through Paypal, but you do not need an account to pay. If you have a time sensitive order, please select “Rush Delivery” as your shipping option to receive first in line service. Leave us a note with your deadline so we can work to meet it.

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.

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.
