Kolari Vision Hot Mirror Pro UV/IR Cut Overview

The 72mm UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Pro 2 Lens Filter from Kolari Vision is designed to normalize your camera when it has either a full spectrum or two-spectrum modification. In either case, it allows light to pass normally to the sensor, so you can shoot normal photos. The filter is designed with multicoated glass optics and a slim, knurled brass filter ring threaded on both sides. (The optional standard version has an aluminum ring.)

The filter can only be used with a modified camera. A spectrum-modified camera is one in which the camera's native low-pass filter was removed in order to support certain IR filters for IR photography. If you have such a camera, this hot mirror filter will let you take normal photos without having to make any changes to the spectrum modification. The filter blocks IR light and some UV light, the same way the native low-pass filter that was removed from the camera during modification would have. The filter requires no exposure compensation.

Note:

1) This filter is for spectrum-modified cameras only. 2) Ultra-wide lens disclaimer: This filter will produce color vignetting at ultra-wide angles. This appears as green/blue-tinted corners when shooting at focal ranges wider than 30mm. Kolari recommends using this filter with lenses no wider than 16mm for APS-C cameras, or 30mm for Full Frame cameras.
