B+W 62E INFRARED (092)

The B+W 092 has become a popular filter for IR photography with digital SLR cameras. This nearly opaque filter looks dark purplish when held in front of a light source and blocks the visible spectrum up to 650 nm. It passes only 50% of the radiation just below 700 nm and from 730 nm to 2000 nm, transmission is greater than 90%. As the sensitization of IR films barely extends beyond 1000 nm, the red portion that is transmitted still makes a relevant contribution to the exposure. Effectiveness and filter factor are largely film and light dependent and individual testing is recommended.
