After reading the comments here, i went ahead and bought a Minolta AF-C, nice pocketable camera without the flash. I am now carrying it with me all the time, I like the autofocus part as ...

I meant , "just a thought" instead of "just a though". The keyboard is faster than my brain.

A bit off topic, does it make sense or is there enough interest or traffic to have a dedicated IR/night photography forum ? just a though.

Nice image , that's why I like IR photography. Sorry that your Rollei film came out blank. So , the only IR filter to be used on current available IR film at most is 720nm or less , any density ...

I live in Ontario , Canada ,  the film will be ordered from Quebec.

Nice looking images, I will be so happy if I can take the pictures like yours, I will try to get a roll of the Rollei infrared film, the film itself is around $10.00 however the shipping cost is ...

Please do, can't wait to see your result. Same here, we have a sunny day and mild weather today, but won't last long as you say getting back to winter again.

That makes sense, I was thinking of getting a full spectrum converted digital camera to try out, in this case no worry about the film being used.

It seems this Linhof filter is at least 720nm or higher , as I cannot see any light at all, it is real opaque, if the current IR films are not suitable for this filter, I may just return it (paid ...

All good, no apology needed. The OM-1 was and still is a very good solid camera, I missed the opportunity to buy one locally as the seller decided to sell it for higher price than advertised.

Thank you for sharing your picture and explanation. Now that the more I learnt about IR and reading about IR, I may just return this unknown density filter and buy the Hoya R72 instead, at least ...

Not at all, you were just trying to help. Cheers.

Yes, I will have a steep learning curve to climb, I better keep this filter then to explore in the IR territory. Thank you all for helping me out.

Thank you for your advices.

I use it on the Nikon film camera, the older F2 and FTN. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. It was the 9 w LED soft white bulb, and the LED flash light.

Thanks for the reply. Are all infrared filters behave this way , need to focus first then put the filter on to take the picture or if I get the R72, will it be a bit brighter, so that I can focus ...

When I hold up against the light bulb , I even use a flash light , I don't see any light at all, wondering how can I focus if I don't see anything. if it is unusable , the seller will take it ...

The filter arrives a lot earlier than expected. Upon picking it up and see thru the light , it is pitch dark, so I have no idea the density of this filter. Here are the pictures of it. Hope you ...

Good info. Thank you.
