Sold Canon M3 Infrared 720nm & 11-22mm Lens - Price Drop

[Ari]

Selling my Canon M3 converted to 720nm by Isaac Szabo.

Sale includes:
Canon 11-22mm lens, wrist strap, front cap, hood, 128Gb SD card, three batteries and charger.
Screen protector installed. Giottos blower not included, shown for scale.
I'll also include the hot mirror assembly, if you ever want to change the camera back to regular-spectrum photography.

The main advantages to the M3 with 11-22 lens are the very compact build, 24MP APS-C sensor, excellent sharpness and contrast.
It also has fast autofocus, is light weight and offers access to lots of 3rd-party lenses and adapters.
The camera and lens are only slightly larger than a Ricoh GRIII.
Camera and lens, with cap, hood and strap weigh 1.3 pounds or 607 grams.

Everything you need is included, the kit is ready to shoot.
Camera and lens are both clean, no fungus, mold or haze.
Some minor wear and brassing is noticeable but function is unaffected.
No mechanical or electronic issues, everything is working at 100%.

Asking $600 USD shipped to US/Canada.

I've managed to find an L-bracket in my parts drawer, never used. Will be included. Also have a nice pouch, KEH-branded.

And here's a link to other infrared images, all of them with a 720nm filter, like this camera has: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmWkhcRq

To answer a few of the questions I've been getting:

If you've ever considered getting into infrared photography, this would be the perfect kit.
It's by no means a beginner's outfit, rather a solid base you can easily add to over time.

A big sensor matched to a 720nm filter is a fantastic way to shoot infrared. You get plenty of detail and a large file size in an ultra-compact camera body.
The 720nm filter can give rich B&W images, or subtle color images with a crisp blue sky, whichever you like.
Shorter wavelengths look ok, but I find the colours very garish, so I prefer the quieter tones of 720nm.
All of my camera conversions have been 720nm, I find it gives me the most flexibility in processing, which can be as simple or as involved as you like.

Here's a list of current lenses that will fit directly to the M3: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?q=canon ef-m&sts=ma

Here are lens adapters you can purchase for very little and then have access to a ton of other lenses: https://www.kentfaith.ca/lens-adapters-canon-eos-m-mount-body

I think infrared should be shot with wides and super-wides, so the 11-22mm lens is great if you're of a similar mind, and gives an equivalent 17-35mm range.
I shoot at f/5.6 and f/8 which seems to be the lens' sweet spots, and still offer very fast (1/125 and faster) shutter speeds on sunny or overcast days.

The camera will come with its white balance set for infrared, or you can re-adjust it easily if you're at a different latitude than I am.
I'll also include the camera profile, which is needed for Lightroom or Camera Raw processing.
You can use ND filters with infrared cameras just as you would with normal cameras.

Finally, the size and weight of the camera and lens makes carrying and shooting a real pleasure.
It fits easily around your wrist and can be carried that way all day without strain or fatigue. Will also fit in jacket pockets easily.
A Peak Design 3L sling will have plenty of room left over for a second lens or camera body.

All you need is included, start shooting once you get the camera.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
