Can someone tell me whether my Canon T3i is infrared capable? If so, is there a 'Best' filter to use, or can you get an infrared lens to fit it?
Here few sample pics taken on an Olympus 4/3 camera with the R72 on auto focues.

Sounds like you are getting replies from folk who have not tried using an R72 IR filter - most digital camera focus on auto with a filter and you will see an image on the screen though it is dim. In reality if you are using it for landscape you will be able to guess the view anyway.
Thanks, i will look into this one.

You can get interesting results with a relatively cheap point and shoot if you can figure away to hold a filter on.
i have a little kodak and the ir filtering is pretty much non existent.
you can get an idea of how sensitive it is with an ir remote control,if you can see it light up on the lcd screen when you press a button you know its not filtered.

I've not said don't use a filter, it is my experience and opinion that a conversion is convenient when it comes to focus and composition, and a filter will not work at it best on every digital camera specially some of the latest dslr's, and yes, I have used IR filters for about 30 years, no real alternative with film, unless you have to use flash, and then a filter can be placed on the flash head.....but its only my opinion and nothing more.....
Nice images by the way!

A timely question from my personal perspective.
I do not know much about infrared photography, but I became intrigued recently and I decided to experiment so I bought a Hoya R-72 filter. I like wide angle shots and have the EF-S 10-22 zoom, which requires a 77mm filter. It wasn't exactly cheap! I use step up rings for other lenses.
Anyhow, the relevant point here is that I also have a T3i. I haven't even had time to play with it much yet but I can confirm that it works. I'm sure that others will be able to shower you with good advice, but my starting observations are:
1) If you want to do IR seriously, then get a camera modified otherwise you will be limited to long exposure tripod shots, likely in the 15 second to 1 minute range.
2) Focus first, put the lens on manual focus and then put the IR filter on.
3) Use the custom white balance capabilities of the camera
4) Bracket your exposures.
Good luck.

Very nice images. I grew up in Devon and walked many miles on Dartmoor (Ten Tors etc.) many years ago.
Brought back good memories, thanks.

We've not long ago had the Ten Tors challenge, about 3 weeks, always well attended.
I retired too and live on the edge of Dartmoor, a place very familiar to me from my army days, thankfully, I don't have to carry so much gear, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.......

Its alway scrumpy time here, or so it would appear.....unfortunately, I can't drink the stuff, it only takes a pint and I change into Genghis Khan, taking on the whole world around me, only ever had that one pint many years ago as a fairly young soldier in a pub full of other squadies while away on military exercises, found it change my mood so damn quick, I became uncontrollable, it got me into all sorts of trouble that night, never had it since, won't risk it. Stuck with real ale ever since, and the odd bottle of red and my fav malt whisky.....not to often though.....not a problem since, well sort of..lol

My father, another Devonian, was caught up in the army during the second world war. He fell in with some fellow squadies from Yorkshire who knew how to down a pint or two. They got posted to Devon for a short while so these guys thought they should try out the scrumpy since they had heard about the stuff. They didn't seem that impressed in its potency and so were knocking it back pretty heavily.
His observation was that they got back to camp OK. They crawled along the white lines in the middle of the road!
Cheers.
