Roberts is proud to offer IR conversion for point and shoot, APS-C, and full frame digital cameras. Why-fore would you want to convert your camera to the IR spectrum? Here’s a list (because I like lists):
- You want more dramatic black and white photos
- You want the Wood Effect
- You want to capture dreamy, fantastical colored landscapes
- You work in Law Enforcement / Forensics
- You’re involved in certain types of scientific research
- You have a specific assignment requiring the use of IR
Obviously the desire for ethereal coloring is the best reason for dropping a few bills on the conversion, now there are two types of conversion -
1.) 715nm: Suitable for B&W and low saturation color images. Camera will be sensitive to wavelengths higher than 715nm.
2.) 665nm: Suitable for both B&W and Color. Primarily used for color due to higher color saturation (vs. 715nm). B&W images can be produced in post processing. See a chart with the differences after the jump.
You get to pick one because, well, the fine folks at Precision Camera are going to remove with surgical precision your camera’s IR filter and feed it to the crows. Ok, I don’t know about the birds, but they’re taking that thing off and replacing it with one of the correct sensitivity.
