I’m now using the original 58mm Lens Tube adapter that came with my Sony Conversion Lens. There are two available, the Sony VCLDEH07V Wide Angle Conversion Lens for DSCV1 Cybershot and theSony VCL-DEH17V Tele End Lens, both comes with built in adapter. The TelePhoto Conversion Lens uses the 58mm thread so you can use any 58mm sized filters and the wide angle conversion lens uses the 48mm thread size.

I have also ugraded my IR filter to a Opteka HD² 58mm R72 720nm Infrared X-Ray IR Filter and I’m also using a combination of Hoya NDx8 – Filter – neutral density 8x – 58 mm and a Opteka 58mm High Definition² Multi-Coated Circular Polarizing Glass Filter

Digital Infrared Photography
To record the “invisible light ” has always been an intriguing and fascinating experiment. The infrared part of the light spectrum is outside the range of what the human eye can see, but with a digital camera, we are able to record only this “invisible light ” while blocking the “visible ” part. The results are often unusual, yet beautiful, renderings of otherwise fairly common scenes.

Since as far back as the 1960 ‘s artists have experimented with analog infrared photography, as seen on the album covers of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa. But as we enter the digital age, new equipment and technology has opened up the exciting world of infrared photography to all.

Digital Infrared Photography (Photo Workshop)

The results are often unusual, yet beautiful, renderings of otherwise fairly common scenes.
