Canon SLR/Mirrorless (Full Frame/Pro Models) - Astro Conversions
An Astro-Conversion is not the same as a normal IR conversion. All Astro-Conversions performed by Spencer's Camera & Photo include modifications and improvements specific to each camera model. These improvements have been developed after many hours of testing with each camera model in the field and the controlled environment of our conversion shop. Some of the modifications and improvements made during an Astro-Conversion include increased static control, dampening of many moving parts and added light absorbing material for control of unwanted reflective light. Also, you have the added option of our imaging sensor heat reduction system that can be installed in most camera models. (More Information on our Heat Reduction System Page - Heat Reduction System) Our heat reduction system was developed well before performing the astroconversion for NASA but was significantly improved during the NASA conversion testing phases. None of the improvements mentioned above will negatively affect the performance or power usage of the camera in any way.
After placing your order we will confirm all information and send a confirmation email with shipping instructions and any other requests that are necessary.
***Attention Canon EOS 5D Mark III customers: Canon USA has acknowledged a minor issue regarding a light leak with this model. We will test, confirm and, if needed, correct any problems regarding the common light leak issue referrenced by Canon USA at no additional charge.***
(Canon R Series Shooters: Some Canon RF mount lenses produce an internal Infrared Light as part of the autofocus system that may "bleed" onto your images after an IR or Astro modification has been performed, making the camera much more sensitive to infrared light. This "light bleed" will only affect images captured at high ISO settings and long shutter speeds. Please contact us with questions and sollutions to this issue. This does not affect EF mount lenses when using the Canon RF to EF lens adaptor.)
(Canon DSLR Shooters! Some Canon full frame models can show a light leak when capturing High ISO Long Exposure images. This is easily remedied by switching off Liveview before capturing the image.)
