With this conversion service we will replace the internal hot mirror filter with a high quality custom made infrared glass filter. This will allow your camera to capture infrared light instead of visible light. After IR conversion you won’t need any filters in front of the lens and the camera will be just as sensitive to infrared as it was to visible light. This means you can hand hold and compose normally.

Includes: 

  • 1 year warranty on the conversion service and installed IR filter.
  • Toll free phone and email support for life.

Product Description

With this conversion service we will replace the internal hot mirror filter with a high quality custom made infrared glass filter. This will allow your camera to capture infrared light instead of visible light. After IR conversion you won’t need any filters in front of the lens and the camera will be just as sensitive to infrared as it was to visible light. This means you can hand hold and compose normally.

We also calibrate the camera to accurately focus infrared light, according to your ordered calibration choice.

Our most popular infrared filter is the Super Color IR due to its versatility in allowing stunning color and monochrome infrared images but it does require some Photoshop post production.

Our most popular focus calibration choices are Universal and Custom, depending on user preference and camera Live View AF capability.

If you are unsure of the choices for IR filter or IR focus calibration please be sure to go through the Start Here section. It should give you everything you need but if you find you still have questions please feel free to contact us by phone or email, we are always happy to help.

Our 1 year warranty is included on conversion services and installed IR filters.

After you place your order you will receive an email with instructions on how to send us your camera.

    Outstanding conversion. I have been a Pentax shooter since the early 80s and have a boatload of wonderful Pentax lenses. I had LifePixel convert my Pentax K-01. It was a secondary camera that I did not use much and I was considering a conversion a few years ago but LifePixel did not have a Pentax K-01 listed on their conversion list at that time. Well, I checked a few months ago after I received an email from LifePixel and they had the K-01 on their list of conversions. Contacted Kerrick James who did the review above and he highly recommended the conversion. I am totally satisfied with LifePixel’s work. My preference leans to shoot black and white so I opted for the deep IR conversion. LifePixel did a great job on my K-01. In fact, I like it so much I may try and find a used K-01 to have LifePixel do another conversion for me with a different IR filter conversion just to have something different. Thanks LifePixel! Great job. Highly recommended.

    I shot B&W infrared film in the ‘old’ days, both the grainy Kodak 35mm stock and the pseudo Ilford SFX in 120 format. Both required using a deep red 25A filter and while they worked, when I saw a friend’s LifePixel conversion to full B&W infrared, I jumped in. My 2012 model Pentax K-01 had been sitting in a bag unused, but I’ve been enthralled with both the image quality and creative effects that are so easy to achieve. I had been recreating the ‘infrared look’ through software but I just couldn’t nail the surreal quality I desired, and now I can. I’m a Brand Ambassador for Ricoh-Pentax USA, and if you’re also a Pentaxian, and have a K-01 body to dedicate to Infrared Capture, you won’t be sorry. I truly am sad I waited this long to do the modification. It’s another creative arrow in my travel kit. I’m not paid to write this and I paid for my own K-01 conversion, FYI. Good shooting… K-01 infrared samples on http://www.kerrickjames.com
