JMC Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Those are beautiful. I especially like the first one. Link to comment
eye4invisible Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Interesting how the sky is blue, yet the water is black. Did you desaturate the water in post processing, or is it like this out of camera? Link to comment

Cadmium Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Here is a newer comparison graph, starting with UG1, which is the age old favorite dualband IR filter, then the newer UG2A (which by the way UG2A was discovered for the UV/IR crowd by Ulf),and also UG5 (U-330) to show how the UG2A 1mm starts to look similar.Again, I have so far not compared UG2A 1mm with UG2A 2mm. I have compared UG2A 2mm with the others, and with U-360 which could just as easily be on this comparison graph along with the rest of these filters,but given that Bob has experience with UG1 instead of U-360, and there is only so much room on the comparison graph to compare the lines easily,I decided to compare to the UG1 which has more complete full range data than Hoya glass does. Here are my thoughts.In a UV stacking scenario, any little bit of transmission above the 1E-03 line would make a difference and show up in the color palette of the photo.However, with dual band IR, given the overpowering IR content, I rather doubt that the small amount of green will be showing in the mix. So more realistically, used as a dual band IR filter, here is probably about what you get with these three filters. I am basing these estimates on 1% transmission (0.01 on graph) instead of 1E-03.UG1 2mm (blue line) transmission up to 400nmUG1 1mm (red line) transmission up to 410nmUG2A 2mm (purple line) transmission up to 420nmUG2A 1mm (amber line) transmission up to 440nm Also, take a look at the Red/IR threshold. Keep in mind that with each of these you are not only adding to the violet transmission end, but you are also adding more Red/false color IR to the IR end.I can't think of any examples of that in photos, just something to think about. Here is the graph, you can decide what you think. Link to comment
bobfriedman Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 yep.. for what I do.. better off with UG2a at 2mm. I just want blue + IR and the lenses I use for scenery don't pass much UV if any. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yet your lenses work with UG1 2mm. Link to comment
