Infrared Clip-in Filter For Nikon Z-Mount – Magnetic

Our Kolari Magnetic Clip-in Filters for Nikon Z-Mount (Infrared) open up new possibilities for infrared photography. They provide a seamless way to add rear infrared filtering to full-spectrum converted Nikon mirrorless cameras (see compatibility below), enhancing your creative or technical options.

You can also use our UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Filters to achieve normal visible colors, as if it was a stock camera.

Crafted with the professional-grade optics Kolari is known for, these filters are securely fitted into a CNC-machined aluminum magnetic frame designed for maximum lens compatibility. This universal solution fits perfectly with lenses lacking filter threads and can be paired with external lens filters for added filtration effects. Now you can explore the unique world of infrared photography with ease and flexibility.

Our IR filters are made to work with full-spectrum modified cameras to target a specific wavelength or artistic effect. These filters either completely block visible light while only letting near-infrared pass or offer a mixture of both visible and near IR light. Useful for fine art, forensics, and many other professional applications.

IR Filter Options:

550nm Infrared – Inspired by false-color IR film, the 550nm can produce deep blue skies and pink foliage. This filter lets in more visible light than the 590nm filter and can be used to emulate aerochrome (but not as easily as our IR Chrome Filter) after a channel swap and a few hue adjustments. The unique colors that can be achieved with this filter are perfect for interesting IR landscapes. This filter requires post-processing and is compatible with a full spectrum camera.

590nm Infrared – The 590nm filter can produce vibrant false colors while allowing for flexibility in post-processing. It’s typically used to produce golden-yellow foliage and bright blue skies. This filter requires post-processing and is compatible with a full spectrum or a lower cutoff IR converted camera.

665nm – The 665nm filter can produce vibrant false colors with good B+W contrast. It’s typically used to produce light yellow leaves or the classic white IR look with blue skies. This filter requires post-processing and is compatible with a full spectrum or a lower cutoff IR converted camera.

720nm Infrared – The classic IR filter, the 720nm filter is great for blue sky false color and provides great contrast and dynamic range for B+W. This filter requires post-processing and is compatible with a full spectrum or lower cutoff IR converted camera.

780nm Infrared – The 780nm IR filter creates the classic high contrast B&W IR effect straight out of camera while letting in more light than a traditional 850nm filter. Perfect for B&W IR photography with minimum post-processing, hotspots are also less severe when using this filter. This filter requires post-processing and is compatible with a full spectrum or lower cutoff IR converted camera.

850nm Infrared – The 850nm IR filter creates the classic high contrast B+W IR effect straight out of camera. This filter is compatible with a full spectrum or lower cutoff IR converted camera. It can also be used with some stock cameras with a long exposure.

IR Chrome Lite – The IR Chrome Lite uses both infrared and visible light to mimic the look of the classic Kodak Aerochrome IR film with little to no editing. This filter is only for use with a full spectrum converted camera. Its thin glass design allows it to work behind the lens and achieves richer color than the original IR Chrome.

Our infrared filters will require a full-spectrum modified camera to produce the proper effect. (590nm, 665nm, 720nm, 850nm, IR Chrome Lite, UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Pro 2)

Our magnetic mounting plate is recommended for all clip-in-compatible Z models!

Nikon Z5, Z6, Z6 II, Z6 III, Z7, Z7 II, Z8, Z9, and ZF

At this time, our Kolari Magnetic Clip-in Filters for Nikon Z-mount are not compatible with the Z-Mount Komodo X, Nikon Z50 or Nikon Z-mount APS-C cameras.

*** Please note that when used with a Nikon Z Mount 26mm f/2.8 lens, the rear element may protrude into the lens mount. This lens is not compatible with clip-in filters.

***Nikon cameras tend to struggle with white balancing in video when using filters 665nm and above. These filters will be compatible for stills, but you may not be able to white balance properly in video mode.

We understand that post-processing IR images can be challenging at first but don’t worry, we have many resources and tutorials available for IR photographers. Here are a few of our most popular IR post-processing resources below:
