The Visico Infrared filter 77mm 950nm filter may be used with infrared film or digital photography to acquire intriguing imaginative and truly innovative photos. Almost all digital cameras possess sensors that to some level are sensitive to infrared light.

This suggests that digital photography has made infrared photography a lot easier than it used to be. Most infrared filter systems are likely to have a photography range of between 720 nm to 100 nm.

Depending on the amount of light on the lens it will produce different effects, so its best to experiment to get the results required, this type of Visico filter can also be used and mixed in with other coloured lenses to create original and sometimes unusual effects, again by experimenting you will be able to achieve the desired effect you are looking for.
