Congratulations! Your D70S is a very capable camera for IR. For a start, you need the HOYA R72 filter or its equivalent.
I suggest you post your queries in the IR sub-forum for faster and better responses. All the experts are there waiting and more than willing to assist you.
Last but not least, enjoy!

The Hoya R72 67mm (for the Nikkor AFS 18-70mm kit lens) filter will set you back around $70-80.
If you are using your Sigma telezoom, the filter would cost you above S$200; am assuming a filter size of 77mm.
Check out the IR/UV sub-forum. They have outings almost every 2-3 wks.

Hoya R72, 67mm is for 18~70 lens, it costs around $80.00, you need tripod for IR photography, average exposure time is between 2sec~8sec, when using f8~f11 with ISO 200.haffendy said:

Hi there,
What do you mean difference between the 72 and the 90 one? Are you referring to price or thread size?
Snoweagle said:
R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm, general use for film and digital infrared photography.
RM90 passes only infrared rays above 900nm, and very expensive.

Yo bro!!
Cos i heard that there are 2 diff grades or IR filters, one 72 and 90. So i presume if there's a R72, there's a R90?
catchlights said:
Wow thanks for that link! Everytime i see pics of IR posted have a beautiful blue and white colour at the IR pages but if just by looking at a normal IR pic, looks similar to B&W.
I heard that my EOS 30 is not suitable for IR cos it was said that by using high-speed IR film, it will cause fogging.

Hi bro,
I believe that catchlight have already explain it all. The different grade will permit the different wavelength that can enter the camera.
However, the most common IR Filter used is Hoya R72 and Cokin P007. Need to check if anyone got a Hoya RM90 to test out.
You won't find any color beside b&w on my digital infrared pictures, and I try to remind that way.Snoweagle said:

Hi there,
Feel free to post your question in the IR Subforum. Maybe you can join us for an outing to try out IR Photography before investing on an IR filter.
If you using Kodak HIE, best is use a manual camera, at lest is a metal film door without windows, and a lens with IR focusing red dot. Modern Canon uses IR beam for frame counter, so it causes fog on IR film.Snoweagle said:
you can get decent IR effect with 25A (Red) filter, else you can use Hoya R72 or 87 filter, the effect will be more pronounce.
FIY, Kodak HIE only produce b&w infrared images, it will not like what you see in most pictures you saw in IR forum.

Guess i can't enjoy IR for now and the most i can only go is getting an IR filter.

Hi Bro,
A 67mm Hoya R72 will cost around $80 or so, but the cost increases exponentially as the thread size increases, maybe you can try your luck in the B&S.

Thanks bro!
I'll try it once i'm free cos now working so don't have a lot of time to take pics. By the way my 28-300mm's only 62mm so i presume it's a bit cheaper.
