NOTE: Dust reduction systems are NOT disabled after conversion and still function in most models except the ones with a *.
* Dust reduction is disabled in these models.
**Read about the Translucent mirror technology and how it works in infrared here.
† These cameras contains 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. The A7RII additionally can have fine horizontal artifacts across the frame in highlighted areas in the IR enabled conversions due to the different sensitivity of some rows of pixels.
Some Sony DSLRs with live view use a second sensor, which still works with visible light after a conversion and does not offer an advantage over the optical view finder for infrared. This is not an issue with Sony Mirrorless or Translucent mirror cameras.
This conversion service replaces the cameras internal hot mirror filter with our high quality custom manufactured glass replacement infrared or clear filter. The autofocus systems are calibrated to the 18-55mm kit 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. Note, wide angle lenses need a different focus calibration.

I first bought an IR converted camera from Kolari Vision few years ago from eBay.
The camera worked perfectly and I was very satisfied. The owner was very responsive answering all my questions, which helped me a lot in my choice.
Since then I have had several conversions with Kolari Vision and every time I receive a wonderful customer support. The guys are very well informed and know what they are doing – I think that’s called “EXPERTS”. I now contact them directly through their new web site, founding my overall experience with Kolari Vision to be one of the best possible.
I highly recommend them for all types of camera conversions – IR, UV, Full spectrum, etc.
You won’t be sorry!

I have bought two cameras from Kolari Vision and am MORE than satisfied with them.Am now venturing on buying a third camera – not the run of the mill Compact System Camera but a Samsung NX series and am POSITIVE the same professional results will be done.
This is not the REAL BEAUTY of dealing with Kolari Vision – it is the truly PERSONAL service that Ilija extends to all customers. One of the main pains in IR photography is the TIME CONSUMING Post Processing in Photoshop or some other program and Ilija makes a breeze with his Photoshop Actions for different IR Filters and Tutorials – a real blessing in disguise.
Hope this conveys the pleasure I have with Ilija and Kolari Vision.

I am an avid photographer and have many cameras in formats that range from 35mm all the way up to 8×10, and I still shoot film, then scan at high resolutions. The main problem with having so many cameras is always which one to take. Now that I have converted my digital Sony Mirrorless camera to Infrared, i will always be taking it as part of my “Kit”. In a world of I phone pictures and more pictures being taken than any other time in history, it is great to know that Kolari Vision offers this unique Infrared conversion service. I endorse this company 100%, the quality is exceptional and my camera came back looking better than when i sent it. Infrared may not be for everyone, but if you wish to delve into this imaginative world then Kolari Vision is the best place to have your camera converted. Give them a try .

I’m using a Sony a6300 for IR shooting and, with my Kolari conversion it’s just the right setup. I did a 590 conversion and purchased an 850 filter so I’m using the 590 mostly for color and the 850 mostly for black and white. The conversion was done very promptly and is working perfectly. I couldn’t be more happy.
