This is the "go to," filter for infrared photography. And no doubt about it, the quality of the glass and its ability to transmit the right kind of light is spectacular. The reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because Hoya seems to have a quality control issue concerning the glass mounting within the metal ring. Although I have seen this problem occur with this particular filter, all their filters seem prone to this problem. The problem is that the glass does not seem to be securely mounted within the ring and over time it can simply pop out. I even seen this occur with a brand new filter. If Hoya could and would address this problem their filters would be perfect.
This filter gives you the possibility to see what humans can't: infrared light. Not that one related to heat, but the spectrum which "hides" itself just below the red light we can see. The results are often dreamy (or oniric), it looks like an unreal reality. Some people might find spooky, specialy when a human is portrayed, but personaly I find it just beautiful. Try it and you'll probably love it!
This filter works great with Rollei Infrard Film and also with my Canon 5D Mark 2 digital camera.

This lens is my first venture into IR and it's working well. The only drawback is the long exposure required but I like the effect on clouds.
