Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / June 2006Infrared (87c) and Nikon D-70
Nothing spectacular, but got excited.. Just received a Kodak 87c filter (IR) and Lee gel snap holder. Wasn't totally happy with the Hoya R72. Ran outside and snapped a picture (Nikon D-70) I did it handheld, getting old and shaky, going to head to the park with my tripod... http://www.geocities.com/tonguesten@sbcglobal.net/ir_web.jpg Sorry, the page you requested was not found. > Sorry, the page you requested was not found.

I also want to try UV since it does have some response to near UV. SignatureIan G8ILZ The Hoya R72 does not give the contrast (87c) does. The 87c is 'closer' to the Hoya RM90. Was looking at the RM90, but the price is close to $300. Could not find an 87b, which was closer to the RM90. B&H has the 100mm (4 inch) filter for $89.95 and $19.95 for the holder. I think I found it slightly cheaper at Adorama (filter) after I ordered it from B&H. >> Nothing spectacular, but got excited.. Just received a Kodak 87c >> filter (IR) and Lee gel snap holder.

In case anyone is looking for less expensive filter options, Edmund Industrial Optics (pro optics firm) sell IR filter glass (I think it's square) in various cut-off frequencies for less money than camera filters of the same kind cost. Of course, they don't just screw into your camera lens. Cementing a square piece to a step ring or filter ring would work. > Nothing spectacular, but got excited..

You might want to know that the extremely slow shutter speed forced on you was because there is a filter just in front of the sensor in the D70 which has as its sole purpose to *block* as much IR as it can. I have seen a web page with instructions on how to modify a D70 to remove the filter, and replace it with an equivalent thickness of glass, to allow much shorter exposures. But it is a task which most people would feel very uncomfortable performing you their only digital SLR. I *might* try it after I get a D200 as my main camera -- but I don't have that money, yet. Enjoy, DoN.

If you look at the link farm at the bottom of this page: http://hannemyr.com/photo/ir.html you'll find links to pages describing how to modify several types of camera, including the D70, by removing the IR-blocking filter.

Also ran across a site that sells modified D-50's, etc. and will modify your camera, too.
