We do offer adapters for Canon film and digital SLR cameras. The adapter mounts directly on the camera in between the camera and the lens which allows you to use your standard Canon lenses and maintains electronic communication between the camera and the lens. We just recently posted an announcement about our updated night vision adapters for use with Canon’s full frame sensor cameras. The updated adapter will have a back focus adjustment to make sure you have crisp focus and will have an attachment to take advantage of the full frame sensor. In addition we will offer a variable gain adapter which will allow you to work in very low light situations. The starting price for the night vision adapter with the full frame adapter is about $7,350.00 We offer several different grades of Gen III Central Intensifying Units depending on your budget and application which range in price from $4,000.00 to $6,970.00.

They are pretty expensive (way more than the one listed here). They used to be popular for shooting in war zones and the like. You used to see lots of stuff shot with these on CNN.
