Full details
The Cokin Nuances Infrared (720) Filter is an essential tool for professional and enthusiast photographers looking to explore infrared landscape and creative photography. Designed specifically to block ultraviolet and visible light, this high-performance mineral glass filter excels at capturing distinct, ethereal infrared imagery by transmitting light from 720nm onward. While it provides exceptional optical resolution and a robust build for professional field use, users should note that it requires specific camera sensitivity to infrared light and a tripod-based workflow to achieve the best results.

FAQs
Does this filter work on every camera?
This filter is designed for infrared photography; while some cameras have a weak internal IR-cut filter, it is best used with an infrared-converted camera for optimal results.
Can I use this for handheld photography?
Due to the extreme light reduction, you will almost always require a tripod to compensate for longer shutter speeds.
Will this filter create a color cast?
The Nuances Extreme series is engineered for neutral rendering, meaning it is designed to avoid color casts even when stacked with other filters.
How thick is the glass?
The filter is crafted from 2mm thick high-quality mineral glass.
Which filter holder do you recommend?
The Cokin EVO XL filter holder is recommended to ensure the best fit and to prevent light leakage.
Troubleshooting
Image appears blurry or soft.
Ensure the filter is seated perfectly flat in the holder and confirm you are using a tripod with the mirror locked up to prevent vibrations.
Haze or streaks appearing on long exposures.
Check for light leaks around the filter edges; use a dark cloth to cover the holder/lens assembly during the exposure.

Care Instructions
- Clean the filter surface only with high-quality lens cloths or microfiber towels.
