Looking for a reasonable IR filter

[MLewis077]

Just like the title says, I am looking for an IR filter. I absolutely love the effect these filters give.

I cannot figure out which one to purchase though.

My Camera: Canon T1i

Any suggestions would be excellent!

You can't go wrong with B+W filters.

Heliopan, best there is.

Stupid question, how do I know what size to get?

It should say on the side of your lens somewhere near the filter threads. If not, look at the inside of your lens cap - it should say there too.
58mm is probably the most common size... Larger lenses are usually 67mm or 77mm.

What most people do is buy the filter for the largest size they need (or plan on needing) and use step-up rings for the other lenses. That way you don't have to buy the same filter in multiple sizes.

Thank you very much!

Thanks everyone else as well.
