Bobitybob Posted June 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently brought a 720nm filter to experiment with B&W Rollie 400 infrared film, but haven't got around to developing the results yet. In a slack moment yesterday I wondered if I could use this filter with one of my digital cameras to get some colour infrared images without ripping the camera apart and taking off the built in sensor filter. Obviously I needed a camera with a rangefinder, and after conducting the TV remote test decided on my Digilux 1. Only problem was it does not take filters without the additional filter holder which I don't have. After a search around the various piles of junk in the shed and the kitchen cupboards I stumbled upon the top from an old pepper mill which seemed to be around the right size and after a bit of shaving I got the result below (excuse the iPhone image). Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Seems to work well but at this level of infrared blocking and to use handheld I had to use the wides aperture and a slow shutter but it managed around 1/45 to 1/60 so usable. I'm now looking for a filter in the 580nm range to go fo the 'Goldie' look. Anyway, couple of the results below.

Bobitybob Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted January 29, 2020 Thought I would bump this up a little with a couple of images I took some time ago but but recently processed using colour channel swapping in GIMP (I don't have PS).
