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.

 Excellent Value - works great with my Canon digital October 1, 2007
easy riter
I bought this filter for a trip to Scotland. It worked very well with my Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom using the Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS S2 IS Digital Camera. I set the Effects setting on my camera to Black White and used long exposure times (1 to 3 seconds depending on available light). I used a tripod, and the shutter delay (2 seconds) to get crisp images. The LCD screen showed a very accurate representation of how the photos would turn out.
Great Filter for Beginning Infrared September 22, 2007
J. Santiago (New England)
I used this filter on a Canon XTi (slightly IR sensitive sensor). Have to use quite a lengthy shutter speeds and very small f stop (number, not aperture). Really nice product and very durable (already dropped it). If you buy it for a digi cam, just do the IR test first to see if it's IR sensitive!
 Great for infrared photography June 27, 2007
Shelley E. Olds (Nederland, CO USA)
I used this filter on my older digicam and it worked great. This new one is also wonderful; the hitch is that I had forgotten that my older camera gave a true preview of the scene while my new dslr does not - so I was shooting blind (you can't really see through the filter, you're not supposed to either.). Not the filter's fault at all - after getting the gist again of shooting with infrared, this filter does a nice job.

Product works as described...i mean, it IS just a filter. but i would say it's durable...i've dropped it several times on concrete/wood and it hasn't phased it :)
