Overview

The B+W 67mm Basic IR 093 is an infrared pass filter that blocks virtually all visible light, transmitting only infrared wavelengths beginning at approximately 830nm. When mounted on a camera, it creates the signature IR photography effect: green foliage renders as bright white, blue skies turn dramatically dark, and landscapes take on an otherworldly, high-contrast quality. The filter appears completely opaque to the human eye, which means all framing and focusing must be done before the filter is attached — or through live view on cameras with sufficient IR sensor sensitivity.

Built with B+W's glass optics and housed in a black knurled metal ring sized at 67mm, the filter threads securely onto compatible lenses and provides a textured edge for easy installation and removal. B+W rates it as compatible with full-frame format lenses down to 24mm without introducing vignetting. For photographers using unmodified digital cameras, expect exposure times to increase substantially — often into the multi-second range — since the camera's built-in IR-cut filter blocks most of the wavelengths this filter passes. Those with IR-converted camera bodies will achieve faster shutter speeds and stronger results. Each filter ships with a QR code for authenticity verification and eco-friendly packaging.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Opaque to visible light with an 830nm cutoff, producing deep and dramatic infrared effects
  • Knurled black filter ring provides secure grip when threading on and off the lens
  • Compatible with full-frame lenses down to 24mm focal length without vignetting
  • Includes QR code for authenticity verification
  • Eco-friendly packaging reduces waste

👎 Cons

  • Completely opaque to the eye, requiring composition and focus to be set before mounting the filter
  • Unmodified cameras require very long exposures, often 30 seconds or more, making a tripod essential
  • Single 67mm thread size means you need step-up rings or additional filters for other lens diameters
  • No multi-coating mentioned, which may affect flare resistance during long IR exposures

Frequently Asked Questions

The 093 is an opaque infrared filter that blocks virtually all visible light and passes infrared wavelengths starting at approximately 830nm and above, making it suitable for deep infrared photography.
No. The 093 appears completely black to the naked eye, blocking visible light entirely. You need to compose and focus your shot before attaching the filter, or use live view on a camera with IR-sensitive sensors.
It can work with unmodified cameras, but you will need significantly longer exposure times since the internal IR-cut filter in most cameras blocks much of the infrared light. A camera that has been converted for IR use will produce much stronger results with shorter exposures.
The black knurled edge provides a textured grip surface around the filter ring, making it easier to thread the filter on and off the lens — especially useful since you may be handling it frequently to compose shots before reattaching.
B+W includes a QR code with the filter that you can scan to verify authenticity through their system.
