The infrared filter is used in photography to change the range of light spectrum "seen" by your film.
It should be used with infrared suited films such as: Rollei Infrared, Rollei Retro, Rollei Superpan, Washi Z, Adox HR-50...
The infrared filter isolates a part of the light spectrum that we, humans, don't see: the Infrared light. Some films are sensitive to infrared light. The infrared photo effects are quite unique once used with the good conditions (lot of sunlight, nice clouds on blue sky and nature scene): the green from the greenery will appear white with a "bone" feeling, the sky will look dramatic and very dark.
Here are some precautions you should know before using an infrared film with and infrared filter:
- The infrared light goes through the plastic, so only use metallic cameras.
- The focus isn't the same than classic photography. "Infrared focus" is always closer than the usual. It should be notice on your lenses by a red line or red dot.
- The infrared filter is extremely dark, it will need long exposures that can go up to 20/30 seconds... Bracketing is often recommended.
- Some photo labs doesn't handle infrared films, check it before leaving it for processing.
To know the size of your filter you need to calculate the internal threading. Be careful the focal length isn't related to your filter size, for instance a 50mm 1.8 can have 49, 52, 55m...
