Comments about B + W B + W 67mm UV/IR Blocking #486 Glass Filter for Blocking Ultra Violet and Infrared Radiation:
I bought this lens for use with my D2h and 18-70mm f/3.5~4.5 DX Nikkor lens. It definitely block IR. I get nice blacks when shooting with this lens. But there is a slight cyan cast at the corners of the image when shooting in the 18mm to 24mm range, but the cast is gone by 35mm and longer. I recommend this filter for use on 35mm lenses OR LONGER with DX bodies. I do not recommend this lens for use with any lens wider than 35mm. Consider the #489 IR filter instead for wide lenses. That is my opinion.
