Product Information
Full details
The Cokin Z-Pro (L) NUANCES Infrared (720) filter is a specialized optical tool designed for landscape and fine-art photographers looking to explore infrared aesthetics by blocking visible light while allowing infrared wavelengths from 720nm to pass through. Constructed from high-quality mineral glass, it provides exceptional optical clarity and durability; however, users should be aware that it requires a camera capable of infrared sensitivity or specific sensor conversion to achieve its signature high-contrast, dream-like effects.

FAQs
Does this filter work with all cameras?
It is designed for infrared photography, but it works best with full-spectrum converted cameras or cameras with very weak internal IR-cut filters.
Can I use this for handheld photography?
Because the filter blocks most visible light, exposures are typically long, requiring a sturdy tripod.
How do I clean the filter?
Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth. Because it has an anti-oil coating, light smudges wipe away easily without aggressive chemicals.
Is the foam ring necessary?
It is essential when using the Cokin Z-Pro holder to block light leaks, though the EVO L holder is designed to minimize leaks naturally.
What happens if I shoot at night?
Infrared light is minimal at night, so this filter is not recommended for night photography; it is optimized for bright daylight.
Troubleshooting
Unexpected light streaks or artifacts in photos
Ensure the foam ring is properly seated on the filter if using a Z-Pro holder, or verify that the EVO L holder is fully flush against the lens adapter.
Images appear dark or muddy
Infrared photography requires long exposure times; increase your shutter speed or use a tripod, and ensure your camera's white balance is adjusted for infrared.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Retains full optical resolution of high-end lenses
- Durable mineral glass construction resists scratches
- Integrated anti-oil and waterproof coatings simplify cleaning
- Compatible with both EVO L and Z-Pro filter systems
Cons
- Requires significant post-processing to manage white balance
- Limited effectiveness on cameras with strong internal IR-cut filters
- Standard Z-Pro holder requires the included foam ring to prevent light leaks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the filter, slide it into your 100mm filter holder. If using the EVO L holder, simply insert the filter; if using the Z-Pro holder, apply the included foam ring to the filter to create a light-tight seal. For cleaning, use a dedicated microfiber lens cloth to wipe away oil or water, leveraging the filter's built-in anti-oil coating. Always store the filter in a protective pouch when not in use to avoid accidental chips or scratches. The filter is rated for operation between -10C and +40C, making it suitable for most climates, though you should allow it to acclimate to ambient temperature when moving from extreme cold to warm indoor spaces to prevent condensation.
