Paper on digital infrared photography with Canon EOS bodies

Hi everyone,

we just finished writing a paper (in two parts) on our experience with a

1DsMkII + IR filter and with an IR-modified Rebel XT (350D) doing IR

photography. It is also a bit of a primer on IR photography, discussing issues

such as focusing, hot spots, chromatic aberrations and so on in the near

infrared range. Nothing new under the sun, but it puts together quite a lot of

info in one place, plus our direct experiences with Canon EOS bodies, Canon AF

lenses, and Nikon AIS lenses used via an adaptor on the Canon bodies.

The link is

The English version is not a translation of the Italian one, but a rather

different and more structured work. Those of you who can read both languages

are suggested to read the English version.

Be patient when you download the two parts. The two pdf's *are* heavy.

Hopefully you'll find it interesting/useful.

Happy Holidays!

Your papers nicely illustrate some of the points brought up in this recent thread, and go into much more detail on certain aspects:

There is also useful information in some of the links from that thread.

Hi everyone! <br><br>

There is an updated version of the paper in html format that does not require to download pdfs. Part two also contains two new appendices on IR macrophotography (with visible light flash) and polarization. You can find it here <br><br>
