Cokin P007 P-Type R72 Infra Red Filter

Cokin P007 P-Type R72 Infra Red Filter

The Cokin P007 is an R72 Infra Red filter, allowing only infrared rays above 720nm to pass through the lens.

The Cokin P007 Infrared filter can be used with both Film and Digital cameras:
- With a film camera the Cokin P007 Infared filter must be used with Infrared Colour or Infared Black & White film. The Cokin Infared filter is equivalent to the Kodak 89B wratten filter with a spectrum transmission of 50% at 720nm.
- With a digital camera, the process is really easy: once the picture is shot, you must "un-saturate" your image on your computer, in other words transfer it to grey levels. Please check your camera infrared ability before ordering the Cokin P007, as some cameras automatically filter out all infrared rays - meaning you'll end up with blank images, as no light will reach the sensor at all!

The distinctive feature of Infrared filters, such as the Cokin P007, is that they "filter" most of the visible rays, only allowing infrared rays to pass through the filter, so as to produce spectacular photographic effects.
