(More customer reviews)Using a DSLR? This filter is great for IR on a budget.
Used with a Nikon D70 and 50mm 1:1.8D.
I'm still getting a feel for this filter. So far I've had a hard time capturing the sharpness seen in the example photo. I've been surprised at how little light is needed to take a shot with f/1.8 aperture (shutter speed between 1/10s and 1/20s). Worth the money and quality build.
*edit* Most digital cameras have an internal IR blocking filter that works against IR pass filters like this item. For sharp pictures with a DSLR a tripod is highly recommended. This filter will work best on a film camera.
If you're looking for a good IR filter for a DSLR you may want to consider purchasing a second camera and having the internal IR-cut filter removed for use with this external IR-pass filter. Ideally, there are companies out there that can install an internal IR-pass filter (~$300) that will allow for infrared pictures and allow for using the cameras view finder. This would require that the camera be dedicated to IR only however.

What photographer wouldnt love to leave the beaten path and create pictures that stand outfascinateperhaps even take ones breath away? To show objects or landscapes as no eye would see them in nature is an irresistible challenge. B+W Infrared Filters can help you to take on this challenge and master it with perfection.B+W filters that transmit infrared lightbut which block or severely limit the visible spectrum can reveal otherwise hidden worldswhen used in conjunction with appropriately sensitized films.Infrared photographs are attractive in many ways: Because of the nearly white reproduction of the chlorophyll green of vegetationinfrared black-and-white photographs render landscapes as if they were self illuminatingor immersed in an extraterrestrial light (the moonlight effect).Infrared color photographs have a fairy-tale effect because colors are reversed.The film renders highly infrared reflecting plants in orange to purple-red toneswhile filters suppress the blue and green components that are also present.In any casethe pictorial results are difficult to predicttherefore they are always good for experimentation & surprises. The B+W Infrared 093 Filter blocks the entire visible spectrumso to our eyes it looks completely opaque.Unlike the 092 infrared filterit makes pure infrared photographs possible without the visible red component. Its transmission only begins to exceed 1% at 800 nmrising to 88 % at 900 nmand remains that high far beyond the upper limit of sensitization covered by infrared films. In the scientific fieldmaterials research and forensicsthe limitation to a strictly infrared range is often important. The filter factor is very dependent on the illumination and on the characteristics of the film.(Photograph by Jevgenij Nikiforov)
