Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hello, can I use this filter with my Canon EOS Rebel T5i?

A: there are some youtube videos on testing your sensory if it is responsive to IR by using a home device remote controller; a difficult lens to use as is very dense to light and hard to focus well; so far, my results are disappointing; good luck

Q: 2. Will this filter work with a Canon 5D Mark II and a Fuji XT-3?

A: Neither the Canon EOS 5D Mark II nor the FUJIFILM X-T4 Mirrorless Camera have a specified spectral sensitivity from the manufacturer. That being said, this can be used with either camera, though you will need to use longer exposure times. For better IR sensitivity you would need to have the camera sensors modified. In terms of fitting on a lens, this will depend on the specific lens you are using.

Q: 3. I was planning on shooting both in color and B&W in raw format and was wondering what type of a result i will get in color mode?

A: A RAW color image shot with an infrared filter will produce a yellow/red image with blue foliage.

Q: 4. Can you use this if your camera's internal sensor has already had an IR conversion?

A: Hi Bill-It did not work for my Canon 7D. It seems one needs different kind of camera or make a permanent conversion of the camera body to disable the built in capability of IR conversion. Subrata

Q: 6. will this work on sony alpha cameras? i heard you need to modify the camera in order for this to work? I have a7s and a6500

A: I have not tried it on the camera.I have heard that you need to modify the filters on the sensor so that it only sees infrared light.The filter is very dark to the normal eye, but the film has no problem receiving the infrared. you would think that no light is getting through. Good like!

Q: 7. Is this compatible with Pentax K70?

A: The Hoya 62mm R72 Infrared Filter is compatible with the K70. As for results it will vary depending on settings and the scene/shot.

Q: 9. Will this work on a Nikon 18-55mm DX VR lens?

A: No, the Hoya 77mm R72 Infrared Filter (B&H# HOIR7277) will not fit directly on a Nikon 18-55mm DX VR lens. Nikon has made many lenses of that description, and they require different sizes of filters. Some of them accept a 52mm filter, while others require a 55mm filter. Please see the number on the front of the lens next to the symbol that looks like a circle with a slash going through it. That is the correct filter size for your lens. If the number on your lens is 52 (i.e. 52mm) then the right size filter is the Hoya 52mm R72 Infrared Filter (B&H# HOIR7252): https://bhpho.to/39ZGP24 However, if that number is 55 (i.e. 55mm) then the filter you'll want is the Hoya 55mm R72 Infrared Filter (B&H# HOIR7255): https://bhpho.to/2Vv5c5qHowever, if that number is 55 (i.e. 55mm) then the filter you'll want is the Hoya 55mm R72 Infrared Filter (B&H# HOIR7255): https://bhpho.to/2Vv5c5q
