The Heliopan RG 830 Infrared Filter Series 7is used for infrared photography with digital cameras and specialized infrared film. This nearly opaque filter blocks all visible light up to 830nm, enabling recording of subject matter and scenes that are not visible under normal conditions. Due to the nature of infrared photography, the filter factor for this filter is highly variable and depends largely on the ISO sensitivity in use and lighting conditions. Additionally, it is recommended that auto-exposure and autofocus functions are disabled during use for greater control over the results.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for enhanced durability.

Q: 1. can this z filter holder fit on a Format-Hitech lens adapter?

A: not known but typically the manufacturers make their system in such way that you cannot mix brands.

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.

A: The Heliopan Series 8 Infrared RG 850 Filter listed above is designed for usage on lenses that have a Series 8 bayonet filter mount. We have no lens mount adapters that would be compatible to connect this filter onto a lens that uses 52mm filter threads. If you own a lens with 52mm filter threads, I would instead recommend the Heliopan 52mm RG 850 Infrared Filter, B&H # HEIR85052, for your usage needs.
