I wanted to develop a camera which would be capable of shooting infrared images when i wanted to and then have the facility to go back to conventional colour mode at other times. I thought I had found the perfect solution in the form of a 37mm IR Cut filter which I could screw onto the camera lens in place of the 37mm IR pass filter. The theory seemed sound. On testing the camera however it was apparent the image had a hot spot in the centre of the image surrounded by a colder zone. So for anyone else contemplating purchasing the filter ( 4 weeks from China) you may not get the kind of results you expected.
