Product Description

Opteka specializes in manufacturing special optical devices for the past several years, would like to take this opportunity to introduce a newly developed product called the "HD² Infrared X-Ray Effect See-Through Multi-Coated Filter". This filter makes it possible for you to see images that are normally invisible to the human eye. It sounds like science-fiction but it isn't; this fantastic new product has been developed using the most highly advanced optical technologies available. This filter will filter out 99% of light seen by the naked eye only allowing infrared light through so that technically the naked eye can see 100% black when the filter is in place. Multi-coating prevents light reflection, ghost light...etc, making images clearer and sharper. On your digital camcorder, turn the "Nightshot" function on - the naked eye cannot pick up the high contrast black, so with the infrared filter and Nightshot combination, for example, it will help you see in the images provided, that we 'accidentally' spilt some permanent ink on this document and the text is now impossible to read. However, when we attached the filter to our Sony 'TR250PK' camcorder, the writing is clearly legible through the ink - thus the x-ray effect! You will be amazed with the power if you take the time to experiment and experience its capabilities for yourself. If you already have a digital camcorder with the Nightshot feature and are interested in experimenting with the X-Ray effect, this is by far the least expensive method, giving you the results you are looking for. Just screw on the filter, switch on the 'Night' feature, and you are ready to go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says, October 17, 2007

This review is from: Opteka HD² 52mm R72 720nm Infrared X-Ray IR Filter (Electronics)
It's an IR filter, and does what it says. It's tough to shoot through the lens, but if you can work with the filter you can take some incredible images! The IR filter opens up a new visual world for your camera. Trees are ghostly white, skin has an other-worldly quality to it. Do your research on the format and you can take some nice pictures. It brings about much creativity.

You won't be taking any X-ray photos with it ;)

The lens itself is of a solid construction. You will need a soft sleeve to keep in your camera kit, as the plastic box it comes in is only good for the delivery.

This review is from: Opteka HD² 52mm R72 720nm Infrared X-Ray IR Filter (Electronics)
This is an amazing filter that will unlock a totally new world for your personal photography collection. I have read about a lot of people saying it won't work on their camera and I have a Nikon D50 and a Cannon XSi and it works fine on both. You just have to be sure that you adjust your exposure time and your f stop to allow enough light in. However make sure you realize that the exposure time will be long (around 3 seconds with appropriate f-stop and ISO 200, to 30 seconds) so a tripod will be needed. Unless you remove your built in IR filter which will essentially turn the camera into an IR only device. For the ultimate IR pictures shoot in RAW and play around in photoshop it's incredible. Take your time play around with F-stop, ISO, exposure time, and White Balance settings and get ready for amazing pictures.

I have A Nikon D40 and this filter works quite well. I haven't had much time to mess with it yet, but I have taken a few pictures, and they are coming out interesting! This is going to be fun!
