A gateway to the unseen world, the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter unlocks the potential for photographers to explore the ethereal beauty of infrared photography. This high-quality filter is meticulously crafted to cater to both digital cameras and infrared-sensitive film, allowing you to delve into a spectrum of light that extends from the deep reds at approximately 750nm to wavelengths beyond 1000nm, which are invisible to the human eye.
With its durable construction, the Hoya R72 appears nearly opaque due to its precision-engineered coating that selectively transmits light from the extreme red edge of the visible spectrum along with infrared light. This characteristic makes it an effective tool for capturing the surreal contrasts and altered realities that infrared photography offers. Subjects illuminated by infrared light reveal unique textures and contrasts that conventional light does not expose, presenting photographers with a canvas for stunning and creative imagery.
The versatility of the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter is evident in its ability to reduce haze and enhance contrast, particularly in landscape and nature photography. This results in crisp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions. Its ease of use is appreciated by photographers of all levels, from enthusiasts experimenting with IR photography for the first time to seasoned professionals seeking to add a distinctive look to their portfolio.
Whether you're aiming to achieve dramatic skies, otherworldly foliage, or to experiment with black and white IR films from Europe, the Hoya R72 is an indispensable accessory. It is especially useful for rangefinder camera users, as the filter's opacity necessitates focusing prior to its application.
Crafted by Hoya, a brand synonymous with optical excellence, this infrared filter promises consistent, reliable performance that aligns with the rigorous standards expected by photographers around the globe. Choose the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter to transcend the boundaries of traditional photography and venture into the intriguing and visually rich realm of infrared imaging.
