highly recommended

Used for photography with infrared films. R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm. RM90 passes only that above 900nm. Often used in crime detection, medical photography, detection of distribution of vegetation, etc.

Does exactly what it's supposed to

This is my first IR filter and honestly, it does exactly what it's supposed to. The images come out very clear. The quality definitely feels solid, typical Hoya quality. The only wish I had was that it came with some sort of travel case, but that's OK. All in all, a solid investment that I'm glad I paid for.

I use this filter with my Nikon D60 and it does a super job on IR pics. If you are new to IR photography, this is the filter for you! FYI, I shoot it in bright daylight using the same 90 degree rule you would use with a polarizer. Generally, I set the camera on manual, close down the aperture to about F22, set the white balance to auto, set the shutter speed to 30 seconds ( yes, 30 seconds, so you need a tripod ), ISO to 1600, pre-focus with the IR lens off, lock the focus, then take the pic. At 30 seconds, you're going to want a less breezy day, but the long exposure gives you those wispy, eerie, clouds. You're going to get a REALLY red image, but that's ok, you can tweak it in PS or iPhoto or even the viewnx program that comes with the D60. You can manipulate the hues and saturations, contrasts and tints in these programs to get your desired effect. I don't think you really need a more expensive IR filter when this one works just fine..........

Great IR filter

This was my first foray into IR photography. I use a Olympus E-500 digital SLR, and am very pleased by the results that I have gotten with the RM-72 IR filter. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good basic IR filter.

Great Filter and low cost

Great filter for digital Infrared photography. It doesn't block out all visible light if that is what you want, but if you're going to go into that level of infrared it would be better just to get your camera modded for IR photo as the ir filters in most cameras would make it virtually impossible to take pictures in a timely, under 30 second manner.

Hoya Infrared filter

This is a good filter for infrared photography. I was pleasantly surprised when my camera meter still worked with it. I use this filter on my Nikon D40. You have to compose and focus before you put the filter on. It isn't as infrared as I thought it would be. For the ametuer, this filter is good. To get a really true infrared picture, one would have to spend a lot of money on a higher-priced filter.
