Frequently Asked Questions
What thread size does this infrared filter fit?
This filter is designed for lenses with a 52mm filter thread. You can use a step-up ring to mount it on lenses with smaller threads.
What wavelength does this filter pass?
It passes infrared light at 950nm, which blocks virtually all visible light and produces pronounced infrared effects with bright foliage and dark skies.
Will I need a tripod when using this IR filter?
Yes, because the 950nm filter blocks nearly all visible light, very long exposures are typically required, making a tripod essential for sharp results.
Can I see through the viewfinder with this filter attached?
No, at 950nm the filter appears completely opaque to the naked eye. You will need to compose and focus your shot before attaching the filter, or use live view on a camera with IR sensitivity.
Does this filter work on any camera?
All digital camera sensors have some IR sensitivity, but results vary. Cameras with weaker internal IR-cut filters will produce better results; fully IR-converted cameras will give the strongest effects.
