Hoya RM100 Extreme Infrared 1000 Nanometer Transmitting Filter

Sale Price: Only $79

Manufactured, coated, polished and mounted exclusively for us in limited quantity by Hoya Corporation in Japan. This filter transmits infrared light above 1000 nanometers while blocking all visible light. This is significantly higher than the more widely available RM90 which is rated at 900nm, the R72 which is only 720nm, the entire 87 series of Wratten infrared filters as well as all B+W and Tiffen infrared filters. With the RM100, you can be sure that your images are on the furthest end of the infrared portion of spectrum that can be recorded by infrared film or infrared enabled camcorders, digital cameras and ccd cameras. The photos on this page show example RM100 infrared images.

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 and a Hoya Transmittance Chart for the RM100 is included for reference. The RM100 comes in a 49mm standard thread size for compatibility with many different types of film cameras, digital cameras and camcorders. Please email us regarding adapters for different thread sizes.

Buyer beware: all other RM100 filters on the market are made of uncoated industrial grade glass, cut and mounted by a third party in a generic filter ring. 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. All of our filters are brand new and unused.

Those of you who know infrared filters will know that the Hoya RM90 in 49mm (rated at 900nm) sells for $233 at on-line camera stores such as B&H Photo. For a limited time, this 1000nm Hoya RM100 in 49mm has a special reduced price of only $79!
