The 62mm Ice HB720 Infrared Filter is designed to help capture images of how a subject reflects or transmits infrared light. Infrared light waves occupy the space in the electromagnetic spectrum behind visible light due to their longer wavelengths. Many surfaces and materials react to or emit infrared light waves differently than visible light waves, which provides the potential for photographs of subjects or subject properties that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. Such images require an infrared-sensitive medium such as infrared film or a digital photographic sensor, which may be more effective when used without the infrared-blocking filters frequently built over them.

Conventional light sources such as the sun, photographic strobes, or incandescent lighting may be used to provide infrared illumination. However, because infrared films or digital photographic sensors can be more sensitive to the relatively higher energy and shorter-wavelength visible light those sources also emit, the effects of infrared light can be otherwise obscured. This 62mm HB720 infrared filter makes it possible to capture images of how subjects are illuminated by infrared light by blocking ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light waves 720nm or less from the lens it is mounted onto. This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. It features a slim, aluminum alloy filter ring that helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight.

Q: 1. Does this filter work on a Nikon 24-70mm lens?

A: The following lens adapt to the following filter sizes Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Lens & Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens both take 82mm filter size

Q: 2. Could Specs list the height of the filters since this affects vignetting?Some regular polarizers I own are thinner than some companies slim filters.

A: This filter is about 7mm high.

Q: 3. I don't stack filters often but will be need to with a protective UV because of need to add & remove quickly without removing a protective filter in a harsh environment- any experience with vignettes & this filter with this at focal lengths 20-24 mm?

A: Camera: Nikon d750Lens: Nikon 20mm f/1.8, Nikon 24-120mm f/4.0Stacked filters: Nikon NC 77mm + Nikon 77mm Cicular PolarizerResult: Noticeable vignetting. DXO PhotoLab compensate automatically at NEF level (based on individual lens profile) about 90% of vignetting.

Q: 4. Is this filter scratch resistant?

A: The filter is made of glass. Only something harder than glass can scratch it like diamonds or topaz.

Q: 5. Can this be used on a Fujifilm lens so long as it has a 52mm diameter?

A: Yes, any lens with 52mm filter threads will work with this filter.

Q: 6. What is the recommended cleaning for this polarizer?

A: You may use a product such as the Pancro Professional Lens Cleaner (4 oz), B&H # PAN001 and a Sensei Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth (Gray), B&H # SECCMF77G to clean this filter. https://bhpho.to/2Vlp07b https://bhpho.to/2MkTd27

Q: 7. Does this filter come with a case?

A: Yes, a storage case is included.

Q: 8. How many stops does this filter step down?

A: The manual provide by Nikon generically covers Neutral Color NC and Circular Polarizing Filter II at 82mm and 95mm. I have the 95mm. The Filter Factor for external exposure meters is 1-2 stops (per Table 2 of the manual).

Q: 9. Nikon circular polarizer 77mm

A: Not sure what the question is but the Nikon CPOL II is top of the line. Compared to the B-W, the Nikon has a higher polarizing effect, smoother rotation, and is thinner. Easy one finger set inside a sun hood. Once set, it stays put. Pricey but worth it. Get step-up rings to cover other lens filter sizes

Q: 10. will this fit a Nikkor Af-S 50mm 1:1.4G lens?

A: Yes Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens is compatible with Nikon Circular Polarizer II Filter (58mm).
