Why UV/IR Infrared? ...for accurate colors within the human eye visible range as a camera sensor can pickup light in extended UV and/or IR and render colors in a photograph that the human eye would not otherwise see. By limiting the image color range with this filter....what I see is what I get! ...and of course, a filter on the Fuji x100v lens completes the weather seal and the multi coating does not added any flare.

Any I.R. filter will work on a camera that's capable of making I.R. images. To test the camera, try to press any button on any TV remote control facing your camera and see if your camera can also "see" it either in Live View mode or show it in the pictures. There should be a clearly visible lit-up LED light on your remote. If your camera can see it, then your IR filter will work with your camera. More recent cameras don't often have this feature vs. those of a few years ago that do. So, that could be theoretically an explanation for why flash3's Panasonic camera can't produce IR images.

I love this filter so much, I own 5 of them. While many people use this filter (or one like it) to eliminate whatever remaining amounts of IR may leak into their sensor, I use it for a much more needed reason. I converted my primary camera to be full spectrum, so that I have the option of shooting IR, UV, full spectrum or visible light. In order to shoot visible light well, I rely on this filter to help me deliver the goods. And deliver, it does! Use it. You won't be disappointed.

I took pictures with and without filter and saw totally different. It does good job.

This is the first. UV/IR. Hoya or any brand filter and have only used it with intended benefit of UV immpact and it performed as desired. If conditions are good I still take the filter off shoot more critical shots. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and would recoomend it to photographer friends.

As with most digital sensors, IR pollution can turn blacks into browns very quickly. This Hoya UV IR-cut is amazing. Yes, it does cut out a part of the spectrum, but it keeps shots looking great. Plus, all BM cameras have a little IR pollution even before using ND filters, so this is always on my lens when I shoot.

This infrared filter (Hoya RM-72 ) did not give me IR images when used with a Panasonic FZ-150 camera. No one seems to have the correct answer as to why ?????
