Product Description
GREEN.L Infrared Filter, Multi-Resistant Nano Coating HD IR Filter for Camera Lens
The infrared filters with different wavelengths such as 680nm, 720nm, 760nm, 850nm, and 950nm each have their specific applications for photography in different scenarios. Here's a brief overview of their suitable uses:
680nm Infrared Filter: This filter is suitable for capturing infrared effects in moderate lighting conditions. It can be used in environments where the infrared radiation is not too intense, such as indoor settings or outdoors on cloudy days.
720nm Infrared Filter: The 720nm infrared filter is often used for infrared photography that requires slightly stronger infrared sensitivity. It can be effective in outdoor environments with varying light conditions, providing a balance between visible and infrared light.
760nm Infrared Filter: The 760nm filter is designed for infrared photography in a wide range of conditions. It offers a good balance between blocking visible light and allowing infrared light to pass through, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor shooting.
850nm Infrared Filter: The 850nm infrared filter is particularly suitable for use in environments where infrared radiation is not as strong. It is commonly used in outdoor scenes with cloudy skies, areas where direct sunlight doesn't reach (such as shaded areas or indoors near windows). It can also be used for infrared photography in daylight conditions where a softer infrared effect is desired.
950nm Infrared Filter: The 950nm infrared filter is ideal for outdoor photography in sunny conditions, especially when infrared radiation is abundant. It is often used in scenarios like beaches, parking lots, and scenic areas during the summer, where the intense sunlight can provide excellent infrared effects without overexposure.
It's worth noting that the choice of infrared filter also depends on the specific camera and its sensitivity to infrared light. Additionally, photographers may need to experiment and adjust their shooting techniques to achieve the desired infrared effects based on the filter's wavelength and the shooting environment.
Here are some key considerations when using infrared filters for photography:
- Camera Compatibility: Ensure that your camera is compatible with infrared photography. Some cameras may require modifications or special settings to capture infrared light effectively.
- Filter Selection: Choose the infrared filter with the appropriate wavelength for your shooting scenario. Different wavelengths produce distinct infrared effects, so select one that suits your creative vision.
- Exposure Settings: Infrared light often requires longer exposures than visible light. Be prepared to adjust your shutter speed and aperture accordingly to capture the desired infrared effects.
- Focusing: Infrared light focuses differently from visible light, so it's essential to adjust your focus carefully. Use the live view function on your camera and experiment with focusing techniques to ensure sharp and accurate infrared images.
- White Balance: Infrared photography often results in an unnatural color cast. Adjusting the white balance is crucial to neutralize these colors and achieve a more natural-looking image. Custom white balance settings or post-processing adjustments may be necessary.
- Post-Processing: Infrared images often require additional post-processing to enhance the infrared effects and bring out the desired look. Familiarize yourself with image editing software to make necessary adjustments such as color correction, contrast enhancement, and detail enhancement.
- Weather Conditions: Weather can have a significant impact on infrared photography. Sunny days with clear skies tend to produce stronger infrared effects, while cloudy or overcast conditions may reduce the infrared radiation reaching your camera. Consider the weather when planning your infrared shoots.
Remember, infrared photography is a specialized field that requires practice and experimentation. By paying attention to these considerations, you can capture stunning infrared images that reveal a hidden beauty in the world around us.

Well-made and great packaging. The red hue seems a bit off from more expensive brands, but the clarity and quality of glass seems well done. Great budget option!

Well, maybe not all of the IR that you could ever want, but everything beyond 720 nm. I ordered this filter to pair with a full-spectrum Canon 7d that I picked up a couple of days ago. I'm new to digital IR, but have some experience with film IR, so thought that I'd start with a 'standard' R72 filter. The attached photo is just a quick shot that I took today to test the filter, and I must say that I'm pleased. The filter, itself, has a fairly thin profile and easily screws onto your lens. I don't see any light leaks and it doesn't look like it passes anything shorter than the prescribed 720 nm. The only problem was on my end. I accidentally ordered a 77 mm to fit my Canon 16-35 mm lens, but I really wanted to use it on a Tokina 11-20 mm which has an 82-mm filter ring diameter. No problem though, as I was able to quickly design and print an adapter for it. Alternatively, I could have ordered a step-down ring off of Amazon, but it would have meant waiting another day to try it out. All-in-all, this is a nice filter, at a nice price!

I have nothing to compare this to like the Hoya version but seems decent quality. I'm trying to do IR on a non modded camera so my exposure times are long which makes them dirty or noisy and not so clear so its hard to judge the quality of this filter. I did achieve a couple sharp images testing in the back yard so I know its time of day, settings etc not necessarily the filter.

Super misleading for the price. Wanted to purchase the Hoya R72 filter originally but the price of this filter caught my attention. Used it for about a week and took some decent photos but once I started to edit my photos and follow tutorials, I wasn’t achieving the same end results. The first step and most important I found was to create my own lightroom profile to properly edit the white balance. All the tutorials I followed ended up turning their bright red photos into a nice gray tone bluish/pinkish photo where mine turned BRIGHT yellow. And from there it was all down hill and I couldn’t achieve anything near a true infrared photo. The whites were dull the blacks were more gray. The pinks and blues were mashed together. I think it’s a red filter with a dark coating over it to make it look/act like an infrared filter. (I don’t claim to be an expert on infrared but following multiple tutorials EXACTLY I couldn’t achieve a look anywhere near to the tutorials)

Using this with my n75 and infrared film. Works as advertised, those saying they aren't getting anything on there film strips probably isn't adjusting the exposure for the film. If you infrared film is 400iso as BW then you should be exposing it for 50 iso, also make sure to adjust your focus for infrared light

I have been enjoying playing with this filter on my DSLR. These images were taken with a 50mm Nikkor f1.8 on a Nikon D7100 (APS-C). The difference came from playing with white balance and saturation. The last one was a 28mm set at f22 and set on my dashboard for a 20 minute drive home with the shutter open the entire time

I see a bunch of people complaining that these don't work, but it looks like they are all using them incorrectly. You must have a camera that has been modified to remove the IR cut filter in front of the sensor - usually called a full spectrum modification.. Almost all cameras BLOCK infrared light in their stock form, and if they do let any in, you need a really long exposure. I have a modified Canon 5D, and these filters work great and do exactly what they are supposed to when used correctly. The 950nm filter is pitch black, letting almost no visible light through, but on my modified camera with correct white balance settings, takes great black and white infrared photos, clearly showing infrared light, without any long exposure at all. All for way way less than the usual price for these types of filters. As for quality, I've not noticed any obvious optical flaws with these when used with Infrared.

I've tested the GREEN 52mm 850nm filer I received compared to a B+W 093. The 093 is a 830nm filter (despite its unusual name) while the GREEN filter is listed as 850nm cut. I don't have a spectrometer to measure the GREEN filter curve, but I could compare with the B+W which is a known quantity of high quality. I shot both filters both on a 590nm converted Nikon Z7 and a stock Z7.First, there is no appreciable visible light leakage. I shot both the GREEN and B+W on my stock Z7 at F/2 30" and ISO 25600 of a daylight scene. Both filters produced the same level of exposure and clearly the filters both block visible light strongly while the Z7 blocks IR strongly.Second, the level of exposure in IR is as expected. Shooting both filters on my modified 590nm Z7 the required exposure on the GREEN was half a stop more than the B+W 093 (i.e. the GREEN was blocking more light). This is again about as expected since the GREEN does cut at a longer wavelength and thus allows less light through.It is not possible for me to test how sharp the cutoff is for the GREEN in comparison to the B+W, but it is clearly do the job it is meant to and any difference is not affecting IR exposure in any way I can detect.In addition I compared both filters as far as reflections go. The B+W 093 does not advertise any fancy coatings at reflections for the two filters were the same. I checked reflections in IR - remember that AR coatings only work over a certain wavelength range and so for an IR filter reflections you see with your eyes aren't meaningful!I also purchased 67mm and 82mm versions of the filter. I did not test them as extensively but from use they appear identical in performance.In short, at least the ones I got do exactly the job they advertise - they filter at about 850nm and block all visible light just as well as a much higher end filter.

I’m a retired commercial photographer of 55 years and realize filter quality is very important. Putting a bad quality filter on a good lens degrades the image quality.I recently had one of my cameras converted to full spectrum IR and wanted a selection of IR cutoff filters. Name brand manufacturers filters were limited as to size and the prices were high. I ran across these on Amazon and the price was good so I thought for the price I’d give them a try.So far I’m very pleased with my choice. The quality seems very good and the cutoff point seems to be exactly as the manufacturer states. I have no issues with quality or performance at this point.

I've become intrigued with infra-red photography and wanted to have a go myself. I did some research, watching a couple of YouTube videos regarding the pros and cons of using filters or a converted camera.I'm really pleased with the Green.L filter, it's very good quality and works well with my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mk II and 75mm M.Zuiko lens.So long as you're able to use a long exposure of up to 60 seconds with an aperture of f8 or up to 30 seconds with f5.6 (in sheltered woods in February sunshine) and focus manually, you won't have a problem. So you need a tripod, a still day and some patience.Place the camera on a tripod, compose, focus manually, note the meter reading and then manually adjust to allow about 10 extra stops of light, add the filter and then using delayed release click the shutter.The filter was provided by JINSE-UK and fulfilled by Amazon UK. The price was very good indeed (£12.99), as is the filter (optical glass).

Great price but unfortunately the optical quality is sadly lacking.Normally use the Hoya R72 on a Fuji 14mm f2.8 and the difference in quality is incredible. Optically inferior and vignetting.
