The Ice 58mm HB760 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 Ice 58mm HB760 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 760nm 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How much do you have to compensate for light loss?

A: The R72 drops you down approximately 5 to 7 stops.

Q: 2. is this work with Nikon D7100 ?

A: It will work with any digital camera, however, you are most likely looking at a 20-30 second exposure at ISO200. This filter on a film camera with ISO 400 film is rated at 8-12 ISO so you will have to compensate accordingly. Also, all composition must be done prior to putting the filter on the lens as you will not be able to see once it is in place.

Q: 3. Are these ND filters good for shooting video as well as photos?

A: Yes, the Ice CO ND Filter Kit (67mm) can be used for both videos and photos. A more popular option would be a variable ND to make the workflow easier.

Q: 4. I want an infrared filter for my 70 to 300 nikon VR lens and for a fixed 50 vr lens. What do I need?

A: Purchase the filter you want to fit the larger of the two lenses then buy an adapter (also called a step-up ring) for the smaller. For instance, if your 70-300 lens uses a 77mm filter and your 50 uses a 52mm filter then purchase the 77mm filter and a 52 to 77 step-up ring.

Q: 5. What is the difference between these "CO" filters and the regular ICE filters? Do the regular filters not have multi-coating as well?

A: The CO filters are mainly easier to clean due to their 8 Layer coating, which the standard Ice ND filters are lacking.

Q: 6. How many stops of light should we compensate for with this lens?

A: The Hoya R72 Infrared Filter blocks about 5-6 stops.

Q: 7. What is the wallet?

A: Unfortunately we do not have a photo of the wallet but it is made to hold the filters and is included with Ice Infrared HB760/850/950 Set with Wallet (82mm)

Q: 8. Hello. Does this filter have the same difficulty with wide-angle lenses that most multi-coated cut filters have? I.e., inconsistent, off-axis effectiveness/banding beyond ~ 60 degree FOV. Thanks in advance!

A: Yes, this Ice 77mm UV/IR Cut Filter has the same wide angle issues many filters have. The IR filtration makes no difference, as far as the wide angle effectiveness goes.

Q: 9. On an unmodified Canon R5 won’t cameras IR blocker stop this from working? Won’t it block 720nm from sensor?

A: Yes, therefore the Hoya 82mm R72 Infrared Filter is to be used with cameras that have been modified.

Q: 10. Is this a good quality filter?

A: This filter is made with high quality optical glass. It is an excellent product.
