Heliopan UV/IR Blocking Filter BG38 | Schott Glass | Landscape & Color Control
Description:
The Heliopan UV/IR Blocking Filter (BG38) reduces unwanted color shifts by blocking ultraviolet and infrared light that can distort images. Ideal for landscape, long-exposure, and digital photography, it enhances color accuracy, improves tonal separation, and reduces red-channel over-sensitivity caused by IR radiation.
Key Features / Bullet Points:
-
Blocks UV (<300 nm) and IR (>800 nm) to prevent color casts
-
Reduces excessive red channel sensitivity in artificial lighting
-
Removes bluish haze in high-altitude or “infinity” scenes
-
Improves color saturation and tonal separation
-
Slight blue-green tint from Schott BG38 glass, easily corrected with white balance or post-processing
-
Enhances landscapes: deepens blue skies, brightens clouds and snow
-
Perfect for digital sensors with higher IR sensitivity
-
Made from premium Schott glass for optical precision
