The 780nm, 58mm Kolari Vision Pro Gen 3 Infrared Lens Filter is fitted with precision machined brass rings, enhanced grip, and a superior lifetime warrantied construction while maintaining a low profile over your lens. This external infrared filter is perfect for adding to a full-spectrum conversion or on top of another infrared conversion to get a different effect. The filter features a hydrophobic AR coating that increases scratch resistance and causes dust, smudges, fingerprints, water, and even permanent marker to slide right off its surface with minimal effort. The brass ring construction features front and rear threading and an aggressive grip knurling for easier filter removal.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the recommended accessory 62mm lens cap fit on the open end of the hood? (FWIW, a 55mm cap fits on similar hood that is designed to fit lenses with 49mm filter size.) If not, what if any cap will fit the hood?

A: Yes, the front threads of the hood are 62mm.

Q: 2. Has anyone tried this on a Sony FDR-AX53 (with 55mm-to-58mm step up ring)? (Or on the AX33 or AX100)? If so, any feedback on how well it worked?

A: While this lens has not been specifically tested on the AX53 you could certainly attach it with a 55-58mm Step-Up Ring. The AX33 has a 52mm thread, while the AX100 has a 62mm thread. Those are more popular sizes for Wide Angle Conversion lenses and Raynox makes options that will attach directly to those cameras.

Q: 3. Is it compatible with Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8?

A: Unfortunately no. These converter lenses are for cameras with small sensors and will not work on cameras with the larger MFT sensors. If you need a lens wider than 12mm, you would have to get a separate lens. The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Lens B&H # OL91840 would be one suggestion.

Q: 4. Is the screw mount made of metal?

A: The ring on the B+W 58mm Collapsible Lens Hood is aluminum.

Q: 5. Would this work well with a Canon VIXIA HF G30?

A: I was not happy with the optical quality of the HD-6600 Pro 0.66x wide angle lens. It was very soft over all and had a small center area of the lens that actually reduced the contrast, so things in the that circle that were black, looked dark grey. Very strange lens. I would not recommend this lens to anyone. I would stick to name brand lens.Will

Q: 6. will two of these lenshoods fit on Canon 18x50 IS Binoculars without any problems?...I know the 58mm thread size will work, I'm just wondering about the physical size.

A: Yes. They fit perfectly and offer great protection for the binoc lenses. High quality product.

Q: 7. Will this be compatible with the Fuji 18-55 kit?

A: As the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS Zoom Lens uses 58mm filter threads, the Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood would fit onto the lens. However, as indicated under the Overview for the lens hood, it is designed for APS-C lenses that have a focal length of 28mm or longer, so there is the possibility of vignetting when using the lens set wider than 28mm (between the 18-28mm range of the lens). I would therefore recommend either using the dedicated lens hood that came with the lens, or consider the Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood, B&H # SELHMW58, which is designed for APS-C lenses up to 18mm wide.

Q: 8. For the 58mm version of this hood, is it possible to use a 58mm pinch type lens cap inside of it? Also, will this cause vignetting on a 17.5mm MFT lens?

A: The 58mm pinch cap works fine. Filters, though you didn't ask about them, are a related issue to consider; you can't attach a filter inside the hood. You must either use 58mm filters behind the hood, or 62mm filters in the hood's front end (either or both could create a vignetting problem). I use this hood on a 6x4.5cm film camera lens, so I can't address vignetting on your lens.

Q: 9. Will this work on the Panasonic G85 with the stock 12-60 kit lens?

A: Unfortunately this lens was designed & tested for digital video cameras and not for still cameras.However it might work fine for you.Please try it and advise

Q: 10. Have Canon EOS 18-55mm lens, thread size 58mm. Will this lens hood fit and work okay?

A: No, Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHM58 works best for lenses 50mm and Longer (Full Frame). For the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens BH #CA1855EFS, we would recommend the Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHMW58 https://bhpho.to/2Y6OWDk.
