**Sold**For Sale Infrared converted Canon EOS 7D
Apr 30, 2023 15:26:55 #
The camera was converted to capture images at a wavelength of 850nm. That is full black and white, see sample images below.
Most IR-converted DSLRs are calibrated for use with a dedicated lens in order to achieve proper focus.
Not wanting to be subject to that limitation, I chose to have the camera calibrated for live view instead of the optical viewfinder. That allowed me the freedom to use almost any EF or EF-S lens. The drawback to using live view outdoors is the camera’s LCD screen can be difficult to view under very bright conditions. The solution to that problem is an LCD viewfinder. That is the device that is attached to the camera in the photos below. It adds some bulk but very little weight. Not only is focusing more accurate in live view because the imaging sensor is used for focusing, but the photographer can also see the effects of any exposure changes in real time. What you see is what you get.
I am selling the camera because I am having a mirrorless camera converted to IR. This is a great opportunity for you to dip your toe into the fantastic world of infrared photography at a fraction of the usual cost.
The camera body and viewer are in excellent working condition with some very minor scratches and signs of use. The top and rear LCD’s are in excellent condition and both have protectors installed. The rear LCD has one “stuck” blue pixel which does not interfere with the performance of the camera.
The Canon 7D camera body with the Sevenoak viewfinder price is $275 + $12.00 shipping to the lower 48 states. Included with the camera body:
• Camera body cap
• Sevenoak SK-VF Pro2 3.0X Viewfinder
• Canon LC-E6 Battery Charger
• Generic battery
• 8 GB CF memory card
• Original camera strap
• USB cable
• EOS 7D manual
Also for sale but only if purchased together with the camera described above is a
Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM lens in excellent condition. It is not a particularly fast lens but the best condition for IR photography is bright sunlight. This lens has excellent IR performance characteristics. Price $135
