What it is

The B + W 62mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter is a professional-grade camera filter designed for creative infrared photography. It screws onto lenses with a 62mm thread and blocks the entire visible spectrum to capture pure infrared light above 830nm. The filter appears nearly black to the naked eye and is built for experimental black-and-white imaging.

Practical limits

Because the filter blocks all visible light, standard autofocus and through-the-lens metering will not function reliably. Exposure times become very long, so a sturdy tripod and manual focus are essential for sharp results. The effect is fixed at the 830nm cutoff, so the filter cannot be adjusted for different infrared wavelengths or used for thermal imaging applications.

Build and mounting

The filter uses a durable black-anodised aluminium ring with a 62mm male thread that mounts directly to compatible lenses. Its slim profile reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while maintaining a secure fit. The construction is designed for repeated field use, and the glass resists scratches better than basic gelatin alternatives.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 62mm version or another thread size for my lens?

The 62mm threading fits lenses with that exact filter diameter; check the front of your lens barrel for the ø62 marking before ordering.

What does the 830nm cutoff mean when I mount this filter on my camera?

It blocks all visible light up to 830nm so the sensor records only infrared, turning green foliage bright white and creating the characteristic wood-effect contrast in landscapes.

How does the 093 designation relate to the filter's infrared performance?

The 093 code identifies this as B+W's full-spectrum infrared filter that starts transmitting at 830nm, designed specifically for creative black-and-white infrared photography rather than thermal imaging.
