Why would a 720nm be unusable when I got this with my 750nm converted camera:

I'm not understanding why the higher frequency 720nm cutoff is unusable?

I agree that a higher frequency cutoff will give better results

Higher?

Yes, higher frequency such as 665nm. (

Ok, my bad. I had a brain fart with wavelength and frequency

for anyone serious about false color IR, not disputing that point. My comment was in context of the guy dabbling in IR and already owning an R72.

Er ... but the op specifically was talking about problems getting colour ?!?

... and he's just dabbling for now to play around with it and already has the R72.

My thought is that 720nm should be able to give some degree of result since 750nm clearly gives a result.

If it would not, please explain why, I'd like to understand.

I think the issue here is what degree of result.

I'm just saying that its much more difficult to coax out a false colour result, especially if you're trying to duplicate images and PP advice you see on the net.
