The photo to the right illustrates the sensitivity of three cameras to UV+violet light, the Fuji S6500fd and F10 (in the picture) and the Fuji F20 which took the picture. The UV lamp (365nm peak) in front of the cameras looks dull violet to the unaided eye, when ambient light levels are low, and near black at normal light levels. For the photos below, we used a Hoya U-360 25mm UV-pass filter - Data. We also have a 55mm screw-fit B+W 403 filter. Note that both filters transmit some light beyond ~700nm, at the red end of the spectrum. We also have a 25mm Schott BG39 UV-pass / IR-block filter. Other UV filters (1) and lenses. See also ultraviolet KAP. |
