F55: F55 IR Test

[Jason Davenport]

Had some time today to do a IR Test.


F55 Slog2 / S-Gamut 3200K
F55 Slog2 / S-Gamut 5600K
F3 Slog 3200K
F-3 Slog 5600K
EX-3 3200K No Tiffen T-1 Filter
F55 Slog 2 with Tiffen T-1 Filter (Not WB corrected to get out green of filter)


P.S. Good F5-55 trick/protection. Buy a clear screen saver for a cell phone, cut it to size and put on F55's LCD side panel to protect screen. Works nice.

I like it... doing a test and the laundry at the same time...

Geoff Boyle on CML mentioned the other day that the built in NDs seem to have fine IR filtering, but the clear is not filtering IR.

To which he asked, why didn't they put an IR filter in the clear position? Probably an answer for it, but I don't know what it would be.

To my understanding, the muddy red/brown blacks seen on EX's, F3 and I guess a little on the 5/55 is more of a case of "Far red" contamination then IR like you would get from heavy ND. The Tiffen T1 filter is intentionally a little greenish and needs to be white balanced for as Jason points out. IR filters do help with far red, however the T1 filter was made for it. I NEVER leave home without it. Nice test Jason!

Yes, Thank you "Far Red", brain fart...
