IR for my lens

engowen · 18th October 2006

Hi, I'm quite interested in IR. Saw from the thread a 77mm Hoya R72 cost more than 200+

, may i know is there any alternative for cheaper filter? any Cokin IR filter? thanks in advance for any feedback.

The Cokin filter is the 89B. Hope that helps

The Cokin P007 IR Filter is a cheaper alternative, but it cuts off at a different range from the Hoya R72. Allows more visible light to pass through, making IR pics done with the Cokin having more colors and saturation.

The Cokin is square 3" x 3" resin filter cost ard S$30/-. Can be used without the Cokin P Filter Adapter by just holding over the lens when shooting IR.

Thanks Adam. Just called Cathay P. They only have Cokin 004. I wonder is there any different in the color output.
