Comments about B + W B + W 58mm UV/IR Blocking #486 Glass Filter for Blocking Ultra Violet and Infrared Radiation:

This filter does exactly what it is designed to do. My Hutech Canon T1i is custom modified with it's infrared cut filter removed and replaced with a clear filter. This allows all spectrums to be recorded and is important for astronomical applications. However, if you want to use the camera to take regular pictures, you need this filter, but it will not prevent you from having to do a custom white balance, since the images will still come out pink. Just take a piece of white print paper and do a custom white balance under strong daylight with the filter in place. The custom white balance will remove the pink coloration, giving you the color the camera was intended to output.

The effect is apparent when using it with an IR sensitive camera. You really can't live without it.

I use this filter to correct the infra red contamination problem in my M8. It fixes the problem right away. Highly recommend it.
