Product Description
This filter is used for photography with infrared films. Infrared film is also sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum so it is necessary to filter out all but the infrared rays. R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm. It is often used in crime detection, medical photography, detection of distribution of vegetation, etc.

Top-of-the-line IR Filter August 24, 2008
After stumbling across some IR pictures on the internet, I thought I would try to take some photos myself with my Sony DSC-H2. It seemed like the Hoya 58mm RM-72 was the most common and best fliter to use. My only gripe is with Sony, in that I needed to use the lens adapter for this filter to fit on. Otherwise, I was greatly impressed with this filter. I will definitely purchasae Hoya products in the future.
The world of Infrared November 3, 2007
A slight learning curve with this filter has led to some absolutely stunning and remarkable photos with my Canon G7. Tripod is a must since 15 second exposure times are the norm in full sun, but the wow factor is incredible. Color photos appear as olive-tones for the sky (again, G7) and the silver/gray for the foliage. B & W is just grayscale. Very cool filter if you want to try something new. Quality tripod will help immensely with windy days. Beware of sun-flaring when shooting towards the sun as this is not a UV or polarizing type filter.
Works as promised! October 31, 2007
Just what I expected! Works great with my Digital Rebel XT. You have to use really long shutter times because most of the light is being blocked by the filter. 15-30 seconds in daylight was working for me. Of course that was with an F22 aperture. It feels solid, as I would expect from a Hoya filter. I look forward to many interesting photos with this filter.

I highly recomend using the Hoya RM-72 filter. There are other brands out there bosting the same quality at a lower price, but I prefer the trusted name of Hoya, who have been making quality filter for years. I have used other filters by Hoya and have been very satisfyed with the results. This filter is exelent for use with the new Rolei Infrared film. This filter transmits from 720nm (Just beyond the visible spectrum ending at 700nm) out to more then 8000nm. The spectral curve of both the RM-72 filter and the Rolei Infrared film are a perfect match. The variety of infrared films is rapidly decreasing to the point where the only films avalable are Kodak HIE and Rolie 820IR and if you shoot medium format your only choice is Rolei. I highly recomend this filter for anyone wanting to try working with infrared film as well as for all of us who have been using the 87/89 series filters on other brands of film. The 87/89 filters block out too much light to make using it with the Rolei film impracticle. I have done hours of reserch on the web and found that this filter is the best one to use for all of your infrared needs. I myself have shot several rolls with this flter with exelent results givng me the true infrared effect Im after.
