Kolarivision (in USA) do Canon M5 conversions from US$275 plus you'd be up for shipping both ways.
There was someone on Trademe doing conversions, I'll have a look for a link if that helps.

to be honest I'm not sure if i'd use it that much. So don't worry. Thanks all the same.

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Yeah, but it is surreal, isn't?, so it does not matter unless the artist themselves wishes for more, or less, green.

you're probably right - I'm thinking a graduated filter on it's own is a bit of a lazy way to get the leaves back to their original colour - but I'm rubbish at proper selection in PS so might just leave it the way it is.

Got my R6 this morning, it's going to take some getting used too having not used a Canon mirrorless before, a bit clunky with my old lenses on it though.

So - during lockdown last year I tripped on a tennis ball and fractured my coccyx, so couldn't go to work. The only people I got to to talk to was at the Supermarket, and I was miserable - both because of pain and limited mobility, and not being to go to work. so I took to the Internet and ordered what I thought was a legacy Minolta lens, which I have a fondness for :-) Anyway, when it arrived it was actually an AF lens! I didn't have an adapter for that, so again turned to the Internet and ordered an adapter, which arrived yesterday, finally. I do like the way Minolta renders colour and appearance. Couldn't change aperture because it doesn't have an aperture ring - used focus peaking for focus.

The last looks a bit blurred - maybe didn't nail focus, or moved camera?
