You have a fully IR converted 5D III?! If so, I'm beyond jealous...

I was actually looking at a fully converted 5D II this afternoon.

I was actually looking at a fully converted 5D II this afternoon.

I rented it from Lensrentals.com but I am seriously considering keeping it It is used but in very nice condition with a relatively low shutter count. The dilemma is that it will seriously clip my savings that I had targeted for a 5Dr.

I wonder if a 5D III would be much better than a 5D II after converted?
After looking at your picture I went online and watched a few tutorials on converting a 5D II. One site had a price around $250 to do it.

It shoots and functions like a normal camera, metering, focusing are normal but white balance is tricky.

I suspect the difference would be the same as the difference between the two cameras without IR conversion.
