Hoya U-360 72mm x 2mm thick, UV-Pass Camera Filter, Ultraviolet, and Dual Band IR, Photography.
Any thickness on
request (check my other listings, or ask me to list one if you are
interested).
This filter is quality made from genuine Hoya U-360 optically
polished filter glass. Precision crafted size, thickness, and edges. Freshly made from new glass.
Custom mounted in a quality standard sized 72mm camera filter frame
(with front and rear threads). Cut and mounted in the USA.
(Schott filter glass is the very best premium quality filter glass
in the world. If you want a quality filter then get one that is made
of Schott filter glass)
Glass: Hoya U-360
Filter thread size: 72mm
Glass thickens: 2mm
Visual color: Opaque
Type: Ultraviolet bandpass filter, and dual band UV/IR filter (see graph above)
Used for: UV photography, and dual band UV/IR photography
WARNING: DO NOT use this filter for visual observation. Sunlight and other light sources contain ultraviolet radiation which will
damage your eyes!
This filter passes UV in the 300nm to 400nm range, it blocks visual light, and it passes some IR in the 700nm to 800nm range.
Ultraviolet photography use:
This listing is for Hoya U-360, and the transmission is very similar to
Schott UG1 (UG-1) glass (which I am listing separately), please review the graph
above to decide which is best for you (see my other listings for UG1
if you prefer that glass type instead).
U-360 transmits UV stronger and suppresses IR better than UG-1,
therefore U-360 does not require quite as much added IR suppression for
UV-only photography, however both work well for UV-only photography when
stacked with the appropriate IR suppression filter (such as S8612,
BG40, BG39, or BG38, check my listings for those if needed).
Dual Band use: This filter can be used alone on a full spectrum
converted camera for dual band infrared photography that needs no
channel swapping for blue skies.
With this filter you can capture blue/lavender/purple skies and
white/off-white foliage (depending on white balance used) with no need
for swapping red and blue channels.
This filter may also be useful on regular non-converted off-the-shelf stock
cameras by using longer exposures, but results will be much more satisfying when using a full spectrum converted camera.
Filter labeling options:
I am currently using Gold text on Black background (the photo may not represent the label color I am currently using).
I also have:
Black text on White background, White text on Black background, and Black text on Yellow background.
Other label colors are available on request.
I am happy to make this and other hard to find specialty filters,
sizes, thicknesses, and shapes available to you on request.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions or requests.
Please let me know if you find any errors in my listings.
Thank you!
