The 46mm, 590nm Infrared Lens Filter from Kolari Vision blocks visible light up to 590nm from the light spectrum. This standard version of the filter features uncoated glass in an aluminum ring threaded on both sides. (The optional pro version has multicoated glass in a slim, knurled brass ring.)

This 590nm version requires a full spectrum modification to be made to your camera in order to function properly. This entails manually removing the camera's low-pass filter and replacing it with a clear filter. Once that's done, the filter will work as intended. (Kolari Vision can make the modification for you at a cost if you send in your camera to them.)

Q: 6. What is the difference between these and the extension kit that’s the same price?

A: Close up filters are easy to use, with no loss of light, but lose image quality, do not work well on wide angle lenses and you cannot focus at infinity. Extension tubes work well on wide to normal lenses and there is no lost in image quality. However, they do not work well on telephotos, you lose infinity, you lose light the longer they are, exposure can be trial and error, the build quality of the connection and any electronics can have an effect on usefulness.
