Night vision questions

Yeah guys I have a canon t2i and I was wondering if it would be possible to get a lens that has night vision. I don't know if I would have to get a night vision camera or if just getting a lens could do it. If you have a link to a night vision lens please share. I was looking for some online but idk if it was even possible. Any help would be great

AFAIK, this.

There are some inexpensive pro-sumer camcorders that do various forms of NV.

Edit:

Shows you what I know ..

Yes, they exist. Of course if you are asking on this board rather than finding them on google (really, just type in "night vision lens dslr" and you'll get shopping links), you probably can't afford one. :lol:

In kit form with a Canon lens:

well, since it's already gonna look bad, just turn the ISO on auto, then do a night vision grade in post.

Use car headlights for lighting

No see the thing is we dont want to be noticed outside so we cant use any lighting or such. also, its not that i want the night vision look, its that I want to be able to film things in pitch black

Your least expensive option is going to be a used Sony Night Shot Handy Cam. Figure about $400 for one that records in HD or well under $100 for an SD model. If you need to make the scene brighter without being noticed use infrared lights.

Work around...

Buy a camera modified to shot NIR (near infraredv like 720nm) and get a IR light to light the scene.
You can get them off eBay for many normal cameras such as Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, etc.

To the normal eye people don't see anything, but the camera will see in the 'dark'.

Footage is red, you need to correct to green.

That said somethings will look/expose differently because your not amplifying visiable light, you in another spectrum.
