  • Blocks all visible light for pure infrared capture
  • Transforms green foliage to white for high-contrast black-and-white images
  • Creates dramatic wood effect with stark cloud-to-sky separation
  • Operates at 830 nm wavelength, distinct from thermal photography
  • Durable 60 mm filter thread fits compatible lenses

60mm Infrared Filter for Creative Monochrome

The B+W 60mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter blocks the entire visible light spectrum, transmitting only infrared radiation above 830 nm. It appears nearly black to the eye and is built for photographers pursuing experimental black-and-white imagery with extreme tonal separation.

Behaviour During Long Exposures

Because the filter blocks all visible light, exposure times become very long and a sturdy tripod is essential for sharp results. The dense glass maintains consistent transmission during extended sessions, allowing the sensor to accumulate infrared detail without colour contamination from the visible spectrum.

Solid Mount with Standard Thread

The 60mm aluminium ring threads directly onto compatible lens barrels and accepts a standard front cap for protection. Its slim profile reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses, while the durable glass resists scratches during frequent outdoor use in landscape work.

Questions about this item

Does the 830 nm filter cause any heat buildup or power draw during long exposures?

The filter is passive glass and adds no heat or power consumption; only the camera sensor generates warmth during extended exposures.

What lens thread size must I already own for the 60 mm filter to attach?

The filter fits lenses with a 60 mm front thread; a step-up or step-down ring is required for any other diameter.

Will the 830 nm cutoff work with an older DSLR that has a strong internal IR-blocking filter?

A strong internal IR-blocking filter will drastically reduce transmitted light, requiring very long exposures or making the combination impractical for handheld use.
