Questions & Answers

John B : Do you know if the canon p-900 picks up infrared ?ANN R : I am no help---I shoot with a Fuji X-T20 and the Hoya infrared filter works fine. Sorry
Shopper : ?just bought a panasonic fz72 camera with 55mm lens can you recomend an infrared lens please regards Dave DunnARTHUR N : Sure, but you need to do two things first. One, check to see if your camera can capture IR, not all can. Next, decide what you want the filter for and then find a good filter in that size. To do this you need to "try" a filter on with something that will emit IR (like a TV remote) then see if your camera sees the light. I can't help you with the Panasonic as it has been over ten years since I used one that I didn't own... I like Hoya quality. They aren't the most expensive but they do a fine job and if something does happen to it I won't commit hara-kari over having to buy another.ANDREW R : For the FZ72 I believe you'll need a 55mm diameter IR filter, the item in this listing is 67mm.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?SPENCER B : The best filter for infrared photographyANTHONY M : I have been wanting to experiment with Infared photography for a number of years and the Infared filter I ordered was highly recommended, But I had trouble finding this filter and should have looked for it Adorama first and will to do so the next time I need any photo equipment.RICK N : I recognize Hoya as a superior brand of filter.KEN D : Adorama always seems to be among the lowest in pricing and the service is great! The Hoya filter is a good quality product and an inexpensive introduction into infrared photography.SAMAI S : Learning infrared photography on a budgetKEVIN K : For infrared photography.JAMES H : Good reviewsJONATHAN H : I wanted to experiment with IR photography.

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

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.

A Fun Filter for My Iphone

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!

Great fun for simple IR photography.

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.

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.

Hoya Infared above the rest

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.

Fun Fun Fun for under $100.

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 to play with

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.

Recommended Infrared Filter

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 .

Amazing filter, great quality images

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.

Stunning Effect

By Jacob J.

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

By Big J.

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. The other thing that I like about this filter, is that if you let your eye adjust for a few seconds you can see well enough to compose your shot though the view finder. Over all this p...

The Hoya R72 Infrared filter is specifically designed for infrared photography with digital cameras and infrared film.

Infrared light starts in the high-red area of the visible spectrum at around 750nm and goes up beyond 1000nm. This light is not visible to the naked eye. Looking through the R72 filter it looks almost opaque because the filter is only passing light from the very high red edge of the visible spectrum and infrared light. Infrared photography yields very interesting, sometimes stunning, and creative result as object in a scene reflect infrared light differently than normal light.

Due to the nature of infrared light, filter factor and exposure compensation vary widely from visible light and depends largely on lighting conditions.

Hoya R-72 Infrared Filter Features

  • 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)
  • Only passes light at 720nm (high-red) and above. Gives more predictable results than filter that only pass Infrared light above 850 or 900nm.
  • The Hoya R72 is constructed using high-quality optical glass from Hoya mounted in a precision milled aluminum frame that provides rigidity.
  • 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.
