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.

Great IR filter! February 23, 2006

After reading reviews all across the web, the concensus was that this is the best all-purpose Infrared filter for photography - digital photography in my case. It is also a reasonable price. I ordered mine and got it quickly, and tried it out right away. The user photos above are ones I took when I did some of my first tests.
On a tripod and with the proper settings, this filter does what it is supposed to and does it well. It darkens the sky and lightens the foliage (Woods effect). It gives images an otherworldy appearance that many find appealing.
I know that I will be using it quite a bit for my nature photography. Thank you Hoya!

I ordered this from Adorama through Amazon. Service was very quick, I received my order the next day, even though I only selected ground.
The filter itself is exactly as it should be. The threading is smooth and the filter is easy to screw onto my lenses without any hassle. Having had no other experience with IR filters, I am giving this a 5 stars. The filter came in good condition and works well. I have used it a little, but need to experiment more with IR photography.
I currently own a Canon Digital Rebel XT, and for digital IR, it works as well as it should. (search around the internet for reviews on how your camera will perform with IR)
Hoya 58mm RM-72 Infrared Filter May 13, 2007

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.
 Another great buy! February 13, 2007

Another new toy. I've just started playing with I/R photography and what a great new way of looking at things. The filter works great on a Sony Cybershot H-5 even with low light since it has image stabilization.
overall satisfaction is excellent!

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.
