Whether you are getting into photography, back into photography or just upgrading your camera.

Do you fancy a regular camera that can also be used for Infrared photography? Read on.

This is the ultimate full-frame Sony Full Spectrum camera in immaculate condition and a very low shutter count of only 12,771 shots.

"When it comes to full spectrum camera conversions, not all cameras are created equal. The choice of base camera matters enormously"... Why the Sony A7 is One of the Best Cameras to Convert to Full Spectrum.

NOTE: "The A7-III is not recommended for serious Astro photography or very long exposures at high ISO's if exposures longer than 5s at 6,400 ISO are anticipated because there is a very low-level IR contamination of the image from internal IR sensors at exposures longer than this. It really only applies to TRACKED ASTRO shots where long exposures of several minutes are common. This is not an issue under normal use".

Everything you need is included.

I can supply body only including battery and neck strap on request.

Key Features:
  • Everything about the camera is immaculate with virtually no signs of use (almost Pristine), including the camera screen which has absolutely no marks on it at all and a new tempered glass screen protector has been applied to keep it this way.

    • The Sony Alpha A7 is a part of the Sony Alpha Series, Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera range. The whole range shares some features but each thread of the Sony Alpha Series (R, S and regular) prioritises one aspect of photography over another. 

    This camera has been professionally converted to "Full Spectrum" which makes it rather fun for dabbling in infrared photography. To do this, the IR/UV blocking filter has been removed from the sensor allowing the camera to "see" light wavelengths that the human eye cannot. Because it has been converted, shooting in infrared is hand-held just as in regular photography unlike unconverted cameras which require long exposures as the camera can't see the IR properly.

    I have included the four essential filters,  a very special absorption type IR/UV blocking filter for the front of the lens which replaces the filter removed from the sensor. This allows you to continue to use this camera as a "normal" camera, and swapping this filter for the supplied Aerochrome (IR Chrome), 590nm and 720nm IR filter opens up a whole new world of fun.

    So, everything that you will need is included. These filters are brand new.

    Two batteries are included with a twin-bay charger. The batteries can also be charged in-camera which is good to do from time to time as this also tops up the internal back-up battery.

    Very low shutter count of 12,771. (Anything under 20,000 is considered as very low on the A7)

    Firmware is up to date.

    It works perfectly (as expected) and comes with everything seen in the images including a complimentary bag, 32gb SD card and a USB SD Card Reader.

    All my pictures are of the actual items for sale, so what you see is what you get.

    Ready to go straight out of the box.

    You won't be disappointed!

    Condition Meanings:            Pristine - No obvious signs of use, as new.

                                                    Immaculate - Virtually no signs of use.
    There is a very fine line           Excellent - Light signs of use, nothing much.
    between Excellent,                  Very Good - Some signs of use, possible scuffing.
    Immaculate & Pristine.            Good - Well used, and some scuffing.
                                                    Defective - For spares or repair.

    Full Spectrum Care:

    We focus on quality and longevity. Every camera we convert goes through a full diagnostic check - we test every component, and if something isn't right, we fix or replace it. So, the goal is to make sure it keeps working for years.

    That level of care, combined with experience, is what keeps people coming back to us. We're not just swapping out filters - we're refurbishing and upgrading these cameras to a professional standard.

    ·        Every camera undergoes a full multi-point diagnostic check

    ·        Faulty components are repaired or replaced before conversion

    ·        We calibrate infinity focus, ensuring compatibility with any lens

    ·        Specialising also in high-end Sony models: A6000 series, A7 series

    ·        Each unit is tested and tuned for long-term reliability

    ·        Direct support from who performs the work - no outsourcing

    In these Sony cameras, the sensor sits on shafts that are calibrated for each specific unit - not just the model, but each individual camera. We measure these shafts with 0.01mm precision (10 microns) and adjust then so the camera can properly focus at infinity. It's a process that requires experience.

    For a more in-depth view of what we actually do, please see our articles on "Inside the Full Spectrum Conversion Process" and "Shimming for Perfect Infinity Autofocus".


    12 Month Guarantee: (UK only) We guarantee our Full Spectrum converted cameras for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase against defects (accidental damage and abusive wear and tear excluded). This guarantee goes beyond our 30-day free return policy, and we will professionally repair (or replace at our discretion) your camera before returning it to you free of charge - less your cost of posting it to us.

    If you are new to IR photography, you will need a photo editor in order to properly white balance and colour swap the red and blue channels for the desired colour balance effects and blue skies. Without editing you will not have good pictures. I can fully recommend "Raw Therapee" which is free and does everything. This is what I use myself. Once you get the hang of it you will find it easy to use, and there are plenty of tutorial videos online.

    Always shoot in "RAW" for IR photography as this gives you much more leeway when editing. They can be saved as JPEG or TIFF afterwards.

    Everything is sent by First Class Post (Tracked 24) in order to get it to you as quickly as possible.

    Shipping to the USA from the UK via the Global Shipping Program is a reliable 6-8 Days. (Based on experience, and not eBay predictions. Speed may vary around Xmas, New Year & Public Holidays and I do not guarantee this.) All US duties & taxes are taken care of by eBay at checkout, so there will be no extra costs on delivery.

    Questions & Answers: 

    Q: Can I still clean the sensor as I normally would on your Full Spectrum cameras?

    A: Absolutely you can, the sensor is not "naked". Under the filter that has been removed from the sensor remains a very hard permanent factory fitted glass which protects the sensor.

    Q: Will the camera still focus properly at infinity after a conversion?

    A: In these Sony cameras the sensor sits on shafts that are calibrated for each specific unit, not just the model, but each individual camera. We measure these shafts with 0.01 mm precision (10 microns) and adjust them so the camera can properly focus at infinity with any lens. It's a process that requires experience!

    The other option would be to replace the removed filter stack with material of equivalent thickness, but this is not how we do it! This involves using optical glass or performing a permanent fixed-wavelength conversion (e.g., for 720nm or similar). It's a tricky method, and image quality can suffer depending on the quality of the replacement glass.
