B + W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter, Black Red 830

Before you embark on your next photographic adventure, consider the B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter, a high-quality, professional-grade tool designed to transform your images with extreme contrasts. This durable filter, part of B+W's esteemed #830 series, is engineered to block the entire visible light spectrum, resulting in an almost black appearance.

Unlike ordinary filters, the B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter captures the pure IR range without visible red, enabling you to exploit the existing residual sensitization for experimental black-and-white photography. This versatile filter can dramatically alter the color balance of your images, reproducing green leaves and grasses from bright to white, and creating a striking "wood effect" with a stark contrast between clouds and sky.

It's important to note that while this filter allows for creative infrared photography, it is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera. The B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter operates in a lower range of infrared radiation, making it ideal for pictorial infrared photography rather than thermal photography, which operates in a much higher range (from about 10,000 nm and above).

Designed to work with a wide range of full-spectrum cameras and lenses, this effective filter is a must-have tool for photographers looking to push the boundaries of their craft.
