Hi !
I like playing around with B&W infrared photos using a Hoya R72 (or similar) infrared screw on filter and long exposures.
Since some cameras are better than others at shooting infrared without hardware modification, I wonder how does the Canon 5D3 fare ?
My original 5D Classic Mark I was ok (ish) ... Exposure times of approx 4 mins f11 at 100 iso in sunlight with R72.
The Canon 5D Mark II seemed to have a stronger internal IR filter making exposure times even longer and was less practical without hardware modification.
Is the 5D Mark III likely to have an even stronger internal IR filter that makes infrared photography almost impossible without hardware modification and removal of the standard factory fitted internal IR filter ?
Does anyone have experience with using UNMODIFIED Canon 5D3 and filters for infrared photography ?
Thanks in advance ...
