The 4.5" Round Combination 85/Infrared (IR) Filter from Tiffen has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results.

85 Color Conversion
What do you do when you must take some photos outdoors and all you have left is tungsten film? Using tungsten film in daylight will produce a bluish cast in the photograph. The 85 filter will "bring back", i.e. color balance the tones in your images. This yellow filter is used to correct differences in color temperature between the recording medium (film/video) and the light source.

Infrared
This filter helps control color shift from IR contamination in digital videography irrespective of whether you are using a neutral density filter with an HDSLR or HD video camera. The CCD or CMOS sensor of a digital camera is inherently susceptible to infrared contamination, even when the manufacturer attempts to reduce this problem by adding an infrared absorbing filter on top of the image sensor. Blacks become magenta and greens a muddy brown. Infrared light focuses at a different focal length than visible light; therefore, your images may seem a bit out of focus as well. The more light you cut, the more IR contamination; therefore, whether you're reducing light in general or wish to create a shallow depth of field for a cinematic look, the more IR contamination you will encounter.

Water White glass is characterized by a high transmission quality. Typically, it will transmit 98-99% of the light. It also features an anti-glare and anti-reflective quality that makes it useful in a wide range of uses including the movie theater industry, store and art displays. The glass is virtually defect-free and is becoming more and more prevalent in digital equipment.

This is particularly important as it now allows for the use of the heavier grades of neutral density filters needed for hi definition cameras while, at the same time, maintaining complete color balance

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this compatible with Nikon D850?

A: No, it is not compatible with Nikon D850 cameras. The camera does not have an IR sensor therefore you can not select this option on the D850 Drive wheel. Nikon makes the following remote with an IR module that connects to the 10 pin port BH #NIML3. You can also connect your camera to your smart devices using the Nikon Snap Bridge app. It will allow you to control your camera settings, focus and shutter.

Q: 2. I don’t see Nikon D810 on the list. Is this compatible for Nikon D 810?

A: I'm sorry, no, this is not compatible with the D810.

Q: 3. With a Nikon D200, when will the image appear on the viewer. Before, or after shutter release? I'm asking this because when I connect the D200 to a TV with the AV cord, the TV displays the image only after shutter release. Ie not real time live view. I want to use this for infrared photography when the through-the-lens image is invisible due to the infrared filter.

A: The D200 will act in the same way with this device as it does with your TV. What you are describing is a limitation of the D200.

Q: 4. Will this work as a wireless live view remote on the Canon 6DII?

A: I'm sorry, no.

Q: 5. Will this work on a Canon 5DSr?

A: Yes, the Vello FreeWave Viewer VL Wireless Live View Remote Kit with AV/Shutter & Infrared Cables for Select Canon Cameras can be used with the Canon EOS 5DSR.

Q: 6. Is this compatible with Sony Alpha 6400?

A: Yes, the Vello IR Selfie Trigger for Select Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony Cameras is compatible with the Sony Alpha 6400.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Canon 5D Mark IV?

A: Unfortunately, no, the Vello FreeWave Viewer VL AV & Shutter Release Cable for Canon 6D, 7D, 5D Mark III, and 1D Mark IV, would not be compatible for use with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR camera.

Q: 8. Canon 7d compatibility ? will this work as a wireless live view remote on the Canon 7d ?

A: I use it on a Canon 5D mkII and it works fine. Only drawback is that it does not give autofocus on the trigger-button while in live view mode. The 7D mk1 is very much the same hence it should have the same drawback.I know that the 5D mkIII has autofocus on the trigger in live view so I suspect that 7d mkII would have that as well. Other than autofocus I have not experienced any compatibility issues.

Q: 9. Has anyone that owns this had success in getting it to start/stop video? Mine does not, despite following instructions in the manual.

A: We are sorry to hear of your issue. There is report of another B&H customer having success with this on a Canon 5D Mark II. We would suspect that maybe the IR lamp is at fault. Make sure it is properly aligned. Contact The Gradus Group the distributor of this item for further assistance.
