Hoya RM100 Infrared Filter
Manufactured, coated, polished and mounted exclusively for us in limited quantity by Hoya Corporation in Japan. Designed for infrared enabled digital SLRs and infrared film, the RM100 filter transmits infrared light above 1000 nanometers while blocking all visible light. Here are the Hoya design specifications of this filter, followed by an analysis of the RM100 conducted by Dr. Carlos Cuervo using a double beam U-2000 Hitachi spectrophometer (note the RM100 peak at 1000nm on the display and the line highlighted in yellow on the graph).
This professional-grade filter is made of 2.42 mm thick high quality Hoya optical glass and has Hoya's Infrared Optimized Anti-Reflective Coating applied to both the front and back filter surfaces which increases the quality of the resulting infrared image. Each filter is packaged in a protective plastic filter case.
The RM100 comes in a 49mm standard thread size. Please contact us regarding adapters for different thread sizes. We are the only place that you can buy a genuine RM100 infrared filter that has been manufactured, coated, polished and mounted by Hoya in Japan. In comparison to the first image in color below, the second image illustrates the striking nature of infrared using the Hoya RM100 filter.
