The filter filters out light below a wavelength of 720nm. It's great for having a go at Infra Red photography, and has worked very well on my Canon Eos-M camera. As others have said, you need to use a tripod as the exposures are long - I've varied between 5 and 30 seconds depending on light, aperture, and ISO.As my camera won't focus due to the image being too dark, it's been a case of framing the photo with the camera on a tripod, manually focussing, then carefully attaching the filter and taking the shot.You need to read up on the web about how to process the images for best results, but the filter is definitely very good, and allows some sharp pictures.

Great filter!- A solid very well made filter.- Arrived on time and well packed and protected.- On my first tests, and it is early days yet, the filter works great.- Far better in mono than in colour in my opinion.- A long exposure is required for successful images,so without a tripod and shutter release results will be poor!All in all a good alternative to converting a DSLR that produces good results to boot. The only downside to filters compared to DSLR conversion is that with a converted DSLR you can do hand held shots at much quicker shutter speeds.Hope my review helps.

You'll need a lot of patience to use this, since the viewfinder will be totally dark. Autofocus may work, but the lens are calibrated for visible light - which means the IR is a little out of focus. My suggestion is to use something like DSLR controller and zoom in and micro-focus manually. Also, it might be good to use a sun shade, and block the viewfinder with the strap cover, since I've noticed a lot of photos have a lens flare in the middle.But once you can expose and focus correctly, the results are quite pleasing!(...)

Works as claimed. On my Samsung GX20 DSLR it requires a very long exposure to get any sort of image and focus is guesswork but hyperfocal helps. My Canon G9 does better and can take a shot at a reasonable shutter speed using a tripod. The surprise for me is that my Canon HG20 camcorder will video in IR with ease. I'll try to catch me a few aliens who are apparently visible in infrared range; funny that I thought they were green not red...

First time i have used one ,and gave me pretty much the outcome i was expecting,with a bit of editing to the jpeg file.Have not had much chance to use it at moment,but as far as i can see it works best with the green foilage,leaves etc,making them look white in black and white images.As for shooting in colour ,it will need more editing to get the best out of the image.For the price and as i will only use it occasionally,a good buy.

Iam a camera novice so using an IR filter was at first a disaster. After a couple of days its down to quite hard and getting better. The filter comes in its own protective container which is where it will stay when not in use. Its surface feels slightly rough and I have the feeling it needs to be treated with extra care. I am quite pleased with it and am thinking about getting one with a higher light blocking factor.

This IR filter is quite amazing - and great fun if you want to produce photos with the WOW factor. Easy to fit on the camera, you probably need a tripod or steady resting place for your camera as you will be using quite a long exposure. So far I've only used it on landscapes but I think it could be very interesting on portraits.

Amazing filter! The results from this are stunning!The photo, when taken, is completely red. With editing in Lightroom or similar programs, it completely transforms the image!Would recommend as it's great to play around with!Some of my example images are below

I have only used it when shooting directly into the sun on my EOS with some interesting results showing sunspots etc. When I used to use my T90 Canon I used to use Infra red film quite a lot, again with interesting result.

I had an 850 before this, very difficult to process post shot, this is an amazing filter, definition and colours that are achievable with very little "tinkering" when processing, couldn't recommend it more

As I have used IR, and specifically this filter a lot in the past professionally, I knew exactly what I was getting, so no surprises. Would recommend to all wishing to explore this medium.

They go nicely.. but it's hard to use them in movie modes.. Anyways.. I wanted them to experiment and I can say they do well the job.. but for pictures only :)

Great value for the money. It works very well with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2. Perfect for starting experimenting with infrared photography.
