B + W Filter Company 52mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter 830 camera filter

SKU CH-PHQV-GTCSM

A 52 mm infrared filter that blocks visible light and passes only the 830 nm range for surreal black-and-white photography

  • Blocks visible light for pure infrared capture with 830 nm filter
  • Creates surreal black-and-white images with high contrast effects
  • Transforms green foliage to bright white for dramatic wood effect
  • Compatible with 52mm lens threads on many cameras and lenses
  • Designed for pictorial infrared photography, not thermal imaging above 10000 nm

Infrared Photography Tool

The B+W 52mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter blocks the entire visible light spectrum, passing only pure infrared radiation. It creates surreal black-and-white images with high contrast, turning green foliage bright white for a dramatic wood effect. The 52mm thread fits compatible lenses on a wide range of cameras. It is designed for pictorial infrared photography, not thermal imaging.

Optical Performance

The filter appears almost black because it stops all visible wavelengths up to approximately 10000 nm. Exposure times become very long, so a sturdy tripod and bright daylight are essential for sharp results. No electronic components draw power and there are no moving parts to generate noise. The glass construction maintains optical quality for experimental imaging.

Build Integration

The 52mm thread screws directly onto matching lens fronts without adapters. It frees the photographer to explore infrared aesthetics using existing camera bodies and lenses. The filter does not replace a thermal imaging camera, which operates in a far higher radiation range. Buyers who need autofocus confirmation or standard visible-light metering will find those functions impaired.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 52mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter on my lens, and what step is often missed?

Screw the 52mm filter onto the front threads of your lens; the step people forget is setting a custom white balance or using a tripod for the long exposures infrared requires.

What maintenance or replacement will the 830 infrared filter need over time?

The glass only needs occasional cleaning with a microfibre cloth and blower; there are no consumable parts, so replacement is only necessary if the coating is scratched or the ring is damaged.

What limit appears first when using the 093 filter for extended shoots in bright conditions?

The filter blocks all visible light up to 830 nm, so exposure times become very long; the practical limit is camera shake or subject motion during those multi-second exposures.
