Hoya 1165 UV and IR Cut Screw-in Filter, Black, 49mm

I do a lot of plant and flower photography and was getting frustrated by weird colour balance due to the fact that many plants reflect infra red light making, for example, blue flowers appear pink when photographed. Bluebells are a good example of this. This dual purpose filter helps with this, but doesn't eliminate it completely. It also helps to cut through haze in landscape photography as well due to the UV cut. Its not a magic cure all but it does help.

Fitted the 82mm on Canons 24-70 f2.8 II for a BMCC 4k camera i once had and it solved the IR problems. Noticed a slightly similar issue with the Sony FS7. Not as bad but there in the blacks especially under tungsten light. I've now fitted the 77mm to Canon 16-35mm L f4. That magenta / pink hue is tamed as these are my two main run and gun lenses.

This review is for a Hoya 62mm UV and IR Cut Screw-in Filter. The filter looks and feels like the finest quality and the improvement over the usual 1B or UV filter is quite striking. On my Nikon D600 with a 28 to 105 Nikon zoom lens the improvement in colour saturation and absence of lens-flare was remarkable.I may buy additional filters for use with my other lenses.

Using with a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 on a Metabones speed booster BMPCC4K camera. It tames the IR issues and ensures that the blacks remained black - otherwise, without which there is a tendency for a light reddish tint in the shadows. No discernible tint - looks great. Not the cheapest but certainly delivers the goods.

Purchased for use with my new Canon 70-200 F/2.8 IS MKII lens.Used for the first time last weekend and had some excellent results with both the lens and filter.The reason for the purchase of this item was that if I was using one of the best lenses of it's class, it then deserved the best available filter. I read some independent reports first, both user and professional and though the difference was not that huge between this and a lesser, cheaper product, I decided to try it out.The price paid was the lowest advertised anywhere.

Not as effective as I hoped at cutting out IR so I could use a full spectrum camera as normal when I wanted to. Unfortunately an expensive poor performer for that...but probably OK if you were just trying to cut down on IR & UV with a normal camera.

The 4 stops one arrived today (pro nd16). So far, very good. I choosed this one over the Tiffen WW mainly because there is less color shift. I did some quick test with the bmpcc and the color is identical to my eyes that the same shot without the filter. Quality serms good. A slight magenta cast in the black tones but it is totally normal because the bmpcc sensor does not filter IR down to 4 stops filtration. I bought the hoya IR filter too, not received yet. Extremely happy with this filter till now

Does what it says on the time. I use mine to turn a full-spectrum camera back to being a normal visible light camera, when used with an IR absorption filter (S8612). Thin enough to not vignette on my lenses and thick enough to do its job.
