B+W IR Black Red 830 Basic 52
B+W IR Black Red 830 Basic 52 | A dedicated filter for infrared photography
Without an infrared filter, you’re working with the light your usual setup records; the B+W IR Black Red 830 Basic 52 is for photographers who want to explore infrared images instead. It’s a specialist filter, rather than an everyday colour adjustment, and suits anyone planning a deliberate infrared project. The 830 designation points to its infrared purpose, while “Black Red” is part of the filter’s name. Use it when you want to make infrared the focus of a scene, such as a landscape or an architectural view, rather than simply changing the colour balance of a regular photograph. The 52 size is relevant when choosing a lens to use it with: the lens needs a matching filter fitting. If you’re building a small, purposeful filter kit for infrared work, this gives you a clearly marked option in B+W’s Basic line.
Specialist Note
This isn’t a filter I’d reach for to tidy up ordinary colour photographs; its appeal is that it’s made for a more specific kind of image-making. The 830 marking gives you a clear starting point for an infrared setup, so I’d consider it for planned landscape or architecture work rather than spontaneous everyday shooting. Its 52 size means you’ll want a lens with a matching 52mm filter fitting. For a scene with foliage, fit it to that lens and make a test exposure as part of your infrared workflow. It’s a focused tool, and that’s exactly why it makes sense for someone who wants to explore this look.
Choosing where it fits
Think of this as a dedicated addition to a filter kit, not a general-purpose filter. Before setting out, choose a scene that suits your infrared project and match the 52 size to the lens you intend to use.
