They have coatings applied to both surfaces to suppress reflection and increase light transmission. Used for photography with infrared films. lnfrared film is also sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum so it is necessary to filter out all but the infrared rays. R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm. Often used in crime detection, medical photography, detection of distribution of vegetation, etc. In ordinary photography with infrared film or infrared color film, the Yellow (K2), Orange (G), Red (25A) and other filters can also be used to change the contrast or colour effect. Box Contains Hoya 46mm Infrared R72 Screw in Filter Review: Great Filter on Converted Camera - No tripod needed! - This works brilliantly with my IR Converted Sony NEX 5N - (49mm version of the filter). The camera has had its IR filter removed professionally. As others have said, this appears to be almost totally dark when peering through it. Stick it on the converted camera and it's transparent to IR! No long exposures with a converted camera! No need for a tripod. Fantastic results, with even exposure edge to edge. Do a custom WB with your converted camera on a neutral grey with the filter in place and off you go - shooting hand-held with great results. It's worth paying the price for the Hoya name - fantastic filter manufacturer. Really pleased with this purchase. Review: Well made and does the job. - This filter is quite specialised and produces bright red images. Converted to black and white you can create some interesting effects. It is well made and should last a long time. ## Features - Filters out the visible spectrum - Allows only infrared rays above 720nm to pass through - Can be combined with additional filters for creative effects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NK74M4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 13 in Photography Effect Filters | | Box Contents | Filter | | Brand | Hoya | | Brand Name | Hoya | | Coating Description | Multi Coating | | Coating description | Multi Coating | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Camcorder Models | SONY ZV-E10 | | Compatible Devices | Digital SLR cameras, Mirrorless cameras | | Country of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,458 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Optical Glass | | Exposure Control Type | Auto | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024066015419 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 46L x 46W millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.15 Grams | | Manufacturer | Hoya | | Manufacturer Part Number | YYE2346 | | Material | Optical Glass | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Model Name | R72 | | Model Number | Y1IR72046 | | Photo Filter Effect Type | Infrared | | Photo Filter Size | 46 Millimeters | | Photo Filter Thread Size | 46 Millimetres | | Photo filter effect type | Infrared | | Photo filter thread size | 46 Millimetres | | UPC | 024066015419 240660022978 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Water resistance level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hoya - **Coating Description:** Multi Coating - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00024066015419 - **Material:** Aluminium Optical Glass - **Photo Filter Effect Type:** Infrared - **Photo Filter Size:** 46 Millimeters - **Photo Filter Thread Size:** 46 Millimeters - **Product Dimensions:** 1.81"L x 1.81"W - **UPC:** 024066015419 240660022978 - **Water Resistance Level:** Not Water Resistant ## Images ![Hoya 46mm Infrared R72 Screw-in Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MloDXkrdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Filter on Converted Camera - No tripod needed! *by D***R on 13 December 2023* This works brilliantly with my IR Converted Sony NEX 5N - (49mm version of the filter).

Really pleased with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and does the job. *by A***R on 13 July 2025* This filter is quite specialised and produces bright red images. Converted to black and white you can create some interesting effects. It is well made and should last a long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good infrared filter *by N***L on 3 June 2012* This a well made, good quality infrared filter. It looks virtually black when you look through it. In order to use the filter you need to: - mount the camera on a sturdy tripod; - focus on the subject; - put the filter on the lens; - switch off autofocus .. if you leave autofocus switched on the camera may start hunting when you press the shutter release; - switch off any vibration reduction / image stabilisation system on the lens or camera .. they introduce movement when the camera is mounted on a tripod; - try a test exposure - when shooting at f16 and ISO 100 I start with a 180 second exposure .. if you try ISO 400 then an equivalent time would be 45 seconds - activate the shutter release using a cable release or the camera's self- timer mode to prevent moving the camera. - check the image on the back of the camera and if necessary try other exposure times. When trying other exposures it's worth bearing in mind that if the image on the back of the camera is too dark and you double the exposure time you are only increasing the exposure by one stop. Straight out of the camera the image will just be red and to get an interesting picture you'll have to manipulate it in Photoshop or GIMP or your image editor of choice. There are loads of web sites that will show you how to do this - just google "infrared photography tutorials" ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoya R72 Screw-in Infrared Lens Filter 46mm - IR Pass Filter for Camera Lens Effects, Range from 760nm and 860nm Light Transmission for Enhancing Creative Effects - Compatible with Mirrorless Cameras - Tiffen 52mm 25 Filter (Red) - Ritz Camera Kodak Tri-X 400TX Professional Black & White Film ISO 400, 35mm, 24 Exposures (3 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/68235343-hoya-46mm-infrared-r72-screw-in-filter](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/68235343-hoya-46mm-infrared-r72-screw-in-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
