780nm Infrared Filter The 780nm 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.
