In this video, I’ll show what’s in my bag (camera, adapters, filters, grip, and accessories), why I chose the camera, and how I narrowed it down to a small set of filters, including the Kolari IR Chrome, plus one for color infrared and one for monochrome infrared. I’ll also walk through the two biggest quirks—hot spots and distortion—and the quick Lightroom Classic fixes I use to keep editing easy. Finally, I’ll share what worked, what I’d change, and whether I have any regrets after shooting with it.

Adobe saws that these sliders work one way; I say they work another. Who is right? I have many examples with visible light images and a test to show you exactly how each works.

]]>780 nm Infrared Filter2025-12-22T09:00:00-05:002025-12-22T09:00:00-05:00https://www.robsheaphotography.com/2025/12/22/780nm-infrared-filterThe 780 nm infrared filter sits right on the edge of visible and infrared light. Here are my real-world results using the Kolari K780 Pro Slim G3 on a full-spectrum-converted Fujifilm X70, including expected exposure times, how color behaves, and why this filter shines for monochrome images. I also compare the 780 nm look to popular 720 nm and 830/850 nm filters, so you can choose the right one for the kind of infrared images you want.
