SOLD :::Bower 67mm Infrared Filter
Apr 18, 2016 20:48:28 #
SOLD - - I bought this filter because I enjoy seeing infrared photography. I didn't know that my camera had to be equipped with an infrared sensor and/or other modifications. Well, I took 5 photos outdoors and realized quickly that the filter did not do what I thought it would. It's yours for $20 (Paypal or money order) and $3.20 shipping to USA only. Let me know if you have any questions.

I can't find that on the container. I will look on a retailer's site.
I can't even find that information on the manufacturer's website, sorry.

Perhaps it wasn't explained to you that you have to reset your WB to green grass, prefocus, and set your exposure before screwing on the lens. Hint: Use a high aperture and a slow shutter speed.

My reason to get one is if I do convert one of my cameras to visible & IR spectrum (NOT UV).Perhaps it wasn't explained to you that you have to reset your WB to green grass, prefocus, and set your exposure before screwing on the lens.

There are several good books on IR. When I converted my Sony a7 I had Lifepixel due the conversion. They're the best and I had full spectrum done.

Newer cameras sensors are less sensitive to IR light & as such, require greater exposure times. I used to use a Hoya R 72 IR pass filter (729nm) on my Nikon D70s for IR shots. After shooting, I still had to swap the red & blue channels in PS in order to get the IR effects. Thing was though, my camera could still auto focus with the filter on & the shutter speeds were not that long. The D70s had a CCD sensor, not a CMOS sensor though. Haven't tried using the filter on either any of my current cameras though. Oh, yes, you still needed a custom WB taken from grass for best results.
