Worked okay.
By JennVerified Purchaser from texas on 8/6/2008
Pros:
Firm Mount, Strong Construction
Best Uses:
UV Protection
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I didn't realize it was red in color, so most of my photos come out looking Pink which i have to remove in a software program. It's a little bit to strong for what I wanted and it leaves a circular brightness in the middle of the photo.

Nice fit for an olympus E510

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was a little worried about the ability of the E510 to take good infrared photos with the ir cut filter still in place. All of my worries were gone after I saw that first photo, the hoya rm-72 filter is a good match for this camera. I bright sun my exp time is anywhere from 4 to 6 sec. at f8 and an iso of 400. The other thing that I like about this filter, is that if you let your eye adjust for a few seconds you can see well enough to compose your shot though the view finder. Over all this product is a great value for the money.

I use it with an unmodified Pentax k200d. You must have the camera mounted on a tripod but the results are in my opinion better than samples seen on the internet.

Have not used it alot as yet. Due to its nature, it is best used when there is a lot of green folage. Sping is just starting here, so will be out with it alot soon. good results so far.
