How does the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter transform your photography experience  Specifically designed for infrared photography, this high-quality filter is compatible with both digital cameras and infrared film. Infrared light, which begins in the high-red area of the visible spectrum at around 750nm and extends beyond 1000nm, is invisible to the naked eye. However, the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter is engineered to capture this elusive light spectrum. When you peer through the R72 filter, it appears almost opaque. This is because it's meticulously designed to only pass light from the very high red edge of the visible spectrum and infrared light. This unique feature allows you to capture images that reflect infrared light differently than normal light, resulting in intriguing, often breathtaking, and creative results. The Hoya R72 Infrared Filter is not just a tool, but a gateway to a new realm of photography. It's important to note that due to the distinct nature of infrared light, filter factor and exposure compensation can vary significantly from visible light and largely depend on lighting conditions. This durable and versatile filter, produced by the reputable brand Hoya, known for its superior optical products, is an essential accessory for any photographer looking to explore the captivating world of infrared photography.

Hoya R 72

This filter is crazy. I'm using it on a fujifilm x100v
When set to B&W you get amazing shots. Then I tried it when set to vivid and the shots are out of this world. Buy one you will not regret it.

I've always wanted to to try ultraviolet photography, I'm so glad I finally did. The photos are amazing.

Bought this filter to use on an iphone mount. Its been lots of fun looking at the same scene in a new way.  I don't have any other experience with infrared so can't provide any insight into the "quality" of infrared production but they look good to me!

A Fun Filter for My Iphone

Love it

I love it

I previously owned the 52mm R-72 filter and used it on the APS-C Sigma 30mm f1.4 with some success. 

I purchased the 58mm size so I could use it on a few different Fujifilm APS-C lenses (e.g. XF 23mm F1.4 R LM WR). It has helped me in taking some interesting black and white IR-ish photos and I hope to further experiment with it (while working on my post processing technique).

Be prepared to get out a tripod for long exposure times or shoot wide open in the middle of the day.

Great fun for simple IR photography.

I'm very happy with this filter. I've been able to get stunning IR photos that look every bit as good as a converted camera.

Excellent Filter

So far so good. This is highly rated when I researched 720nm filters. It works as expected.

So far so good

This filter was a replacement for the one that I accidentally broke,

This is an excellent filter for infrared photography.

Hoya performed better than Breakthrough and Haida on my Canon Wide angle lens. Very nice infared filter.
Tested all three and happy Hoya worked well with my 15-35 and 24-70 lens.

Hoya Infared above the rest

Great price for a neat lens

Have went out 3 times now with this new filter. Love it!! works best in bright sun mid day. Just another toy in my collection. One that lets me enjoy photography when most other types of photography does not work (high noon).  You will potentially get a hot spot in the middle that is caused by lens selection and not shooting relatively wide open. However by testing thru a few lenses and F-stops i have it nailed now. Again great toy for under 100$. Watch some youtube videos on processing the photos and how you need to download and use the free Adobe DNG editor to create a profile for your camera.

Fun Fun Fun for under $100.

Fits well. Fun to play around with IR photography. 
Still passes a little bit of visible red light-unsure how sharply it tails off at 760mm. 
With long exposures, can clearly see IR glow of plants.

Fun to play with

Hoya 72nm pass filter

This is a good filter, but I like the urth infrared better. I?m still a noob so please take that into account.

Like the urth version better, but?

This is an excellent way to experiment with infrared photography.  The only challenge is focusing the image.  Due to the fact that my lenses did not have the infrared focus adjustment marks, I had to experiment with a few photos to get the images clear.  Just a suggestion, but it is best to shot the images in raw and also to have a custom white balance .  
It is a fun way to explore this kind of photography! 
I would certainly recommend this option if you don't want to modify your camera, and this filter tops them all .

Recommended Infrared Filter

Filter works as it should. Worth the money.

Very Good.

Love this filter. It might be a bit on the pricey side, but money well spent if you are experienced with black and white infrared photography. Renders beautiful contrast. Solid construction and glass quality is quite good.

Black and white infrared shooter

Works well. Suggested exposure with INFRARED film: f16 at 1/15 sec.

Necessary for infrared photography.

Pass of the Oaks

Have used this for a few landscape shots and I was blown away by the images it produces. Good quality coating as well, seems like a solid filter. Could be cheaper but I didn't want to skimp out and get a cheap filter that would have adverse effects.

Amazing filter, great quality images

There's never a problem with ordering from Adorama. Over the phone, the customer service person told me about this filter, and I ordered it the next day. It arrived in no time.

Smooth Transaction
