4. What Types Of Infrared Conversions Does Precision Camera Offer?

Precision Camera offers two types of Infrared Conversions:

a. The 715nm
The 715nm is your typical Infrared Conversion. It blocks wavelengths shorter than 715nm and allows those longer than 715nm to go through. It is a true Infrared filter that should primarily be used for B&W photos, although very limited color Infrared pictures are possible. Conversions performed with the 715nm filter are capable of rendering beautiful & rich B&W images with a dramatic Infrared look to them.

Here are some examples of pictures taken with a 715nm-converted camera:

b. The 665nm (links to sub-page
- The 665nm is a specialized Infrared Conversion. It blocks Wavelengths shorter than 665nm and allows those longer than 665nm to go through. This conversion is especially well suited for color Infrared Photography because of its broader transmittance properties. With this conversion a more saturated color infrared image is possible. B&W Infrared is also possible with the 665nm although the results will not be as dramatic as the 715nm.

Here are some examples of pictures taken with a 665nm-converted camera:
