Lenses / Re: Infra red filter - question

« on: May 20, 2013, 08:52:05 AM »

Are there any updated resources of what lens to use and what not?

There ya go
http://kolarivision.com/lenshotspot.html

I have no affiliation with them, had done a lot or research before getting my camera converted and the link was in my bookmarks. I got a 600D converted to full spectrum by lifepixel, very happy with their service.

Cheers,

p.s. Not sure how accurate their list is but it is elaborate.

Thanks for that! 

No worries

Full spectrum is another option if you are considering a conversion. It allows you to shoot UV, IR or visible light via the use of external filters. I took this route.

Just to show an example. same scene in Visible light and IR 600nm.

Visible light (UV/IR cut filter)



IR 600nm (Tiffen red filter IIRC)

Howdy,

I'm thinking of getting a T3i (600D) converted to full spectrum. Objective is to use it for IR and visible light (with external filters) Have a few queries, would appreciate if any of you could help me with them.

1. How good will the visible light IQ be with a quality UV/IR cut filter when compared to a stock camera?

2. I've read different wavelengths of light focus at different focal planes resulting in chromatic aberration when shooting full spectrum, any remedy to this? Also would I still get CA when say shooting only IR or Visible with filters?

3. Your recommendations on a quality UV/IR cut filter.

Would love to see some samples, if you have any please do post.
Any additional info you can provide would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
g2
