Filter does as advertised with the high quality I've come to expect from B&W Filters. Both pictures were taken with an Olympus E-520, ISO-100, F/2.8, Focal Length = 12mm. The first, the reference picture, the shutter speed was 1/250 sec. The second, the IR picture using the B&W 092 filter, the shutter speed was 3 seconds. This gives an overall filter factor of 750. Taking into account the advertised 20 to 40 filter factor for the filter this leaves the internal E-520 IR blocking filter with a factor of 25. Bottom line, IR photography is possible with a E-520 using this filter if the camera is mounted on a tripod.

How can you enhance your infrared photography B & W presents a trio of infrared filters, each designed with unique characteristics to optimize your photographic results. The 39mm Infrared Filter #092 (89B/RG695) is a dark red filter, primarily designed for black and white infrared films. It effectively filters out light below 650 nm, ensuring that your images are captured with the utmost clarity and precision.
When used with color infrared film, this filter produces images with a pure red hue, taking full advantage of the relatively low sensitivity of infrared films. The filter factor for this model ranges approximately between 20 - 40, providing you with a wide spectrum of possibilities for your photography.
The #093 model is a black infrared filter that filters out the entire visible spectrum. It is ideally used with black and white infrared films with a sensitivity up to 1000nm. The filter factor for this model is determined by the film sensitivity, offering you a tailored experience based on your specific film choice.
Lastly, the #099 model is an orange-colored filter that effectively blocks the blue and blue-green portion of the visible spectrum up to 500 nm. This feature reduces the excessive sensitivity of color infrared films in this spectral range, evenly separating colors and avoiding a blue tint. The filter factor for this model depends upon the film's sensitivity, providing a customized experience for your photography needs.
In conclusion, B & W's range of 39mm Infrared Filters, including the #092 (89B/RG695), offers a comprehensive solution for your infrared photography, enhancing image quality and color accuracy.
