Mamiya Provides IR Filter For ZD Digital Back

Mamiya has released a filter that will allow its ZD Digital Back for medium-format SLRs to capture infrared images. The IR Photo Filter YD401 replaces the standard IR cut filter in the back and allows both infrared and visible light to be transmitted to the sensor. IR cut filters block infrared and allow light in the visible range only to reach the sensor. Photographers will be able to switch out the IR-cut and YD401 filters themselves without any alterations to the ZD back by Mamiya.

The IR Photo Filter YD401 will be available in mid-January 2008. Pricing has not yet been announced.
