About Hoya R-72 Infrared Filter
FEATURED REVIEWS
Stunning Effect
After viewing some spectacular images on the internet, I purchased the R72 filter simply to play in the infrared spectrum without the high cost of sensor stripping. I mount the filter on top of a rotating circular polarizer and generally shoot between 0.5 sec and 20 sec. tripod-stabilized exposures. Simple Photoshop workflows render stunning results. For an inexpensive introduction to IR photography, this is an amazing bargain.
Nice fit for an olympus E510
I was a little worried about the ability of the E510 to take good infrared photos with the ir cut filter still in place. All of my worries were gone after I saw that first photo, the hoya rm-72 filter is a good match for this camera. I bright sun my exp time is anywhere from 4 to 6 sec. at f8 and an iso of 400.

It is the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter that stands out as a specialized tool for infrared photography, compatible with both digital cameras and infrared film. This filter operates in the high-red area of the visible spectrum, starting at approximately 750nm and extending beyond 1000nm. This range of light, invisible to the human eye, is precisely what the R72 filter is designed to capture.
When you look through the R72 filter, it appears almost opaque. This is because it is engineered to only allow light from the extreme high-red edge of the visible spectrum and infrared light to pass through. This unique feature makes it an essential tool for photographers aiming to explore the creative potential of infrared photography.
Infrared photography can yield intriguing, sometimes breathtaking results, as objects in a scene reflect infrared light differently than they do normal light. This can lead to images that are truly unique and visually striking, setting your work apart from the rest.
However, it's important to note that due to the unique nature of infrared light, both the filter factor and exposure compensation can vary significantly from visible light. These factors are largely dependent on the lighting conditions at the time of shooting. Therefore, mastering the use of the Hoya R72 Infrared Filter may require some experimentation and adjustment, but the potential for stunning, creative results makes it a worthwhile addition to any photographer's toolkit.

- Works well with digital cameras, especially mirrorless cameras or DSLRS with no IR blocking filter in front of the sensor. (Please check your camera's owners manual)

- Consistent quality, made in Japan
- Can be paired with colored black and white contrast filters such as the R25 (red), K2 (yellow), O (orange) or other color filters to change the color rendition or contrast effects.
