The Heliopan 27mm RG 780 (87) Infrared Filter corresponds to a Wratten 87 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 provide 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 that are 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. The Heliopan 27mm RG 780 (87) Infrared Filter makes it possible to capture images of how subjects are illuminated by infrared light by blocking near-infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light waves while allowing approximately 88% of infrared light waves 780nm or greater into the lens it is mounted onto.

This filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and features a thin brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention.

Q: 6. Will this lens be all metal? (The previous mki had plastic).

A: The majority of the lens is metal including the mount, there is some plastic but mostly metal.

Q: 7. Will this lens work on a XT-1?

A: Yes, the FUJIFILM XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR Lens is compatible for use on the FUJIFILM X-T1 Mirrorless Digital Camera.

Q: 8. will this lens bundle with the xs10??

A: As of yet the XS10 is not bundled with the 27mm lens, it may be in the future.

Q: 9. I just noticed that my aperture ring will turn into the "A" position without pushing the lock button, but that I have to push the lock button to get it out of the "A" position. Is this normal? On my 18 1.4 and 33 1.4 I have to push the lock button to get into AND out of the "A" position.

A: Yes, the XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR seems to employ this new method of switching into electronic aperture control. Our copies of the lens also switch into "A" WITHOUT pressing the lock button, and require the lock button to switch out "A". This is unlike some of their other lenses, like the 10-24mm f/4 R WR OIS, and the ones you have listed.

Q: 10. Hello. Is this lens compatible with the X-T50 firmware? TYIA

A: Yes, the Voigtlander Ultron 27mm f/2.0 Lens (FUJIFILM X, Black) is compatible with the Fuji X-T50. Please note that this lens features a manual focus design.
