Clear and IR Filters.

[Tandum (Robin)]

I just got a set of True Tech 1.25" RGB filters in the mail today. Is there anyway to identify which is the clear filter and which is the IR filter without using a camera? None of them have anything written on them at all and these two look exactly the same

The clear will be greener, and the IR block will be more redish when light reflects at 45 deg angle to it.
Another easy way is get a webcam and a remote control.
Shine the remote on the webcam, and you will see it flicker. Then place the IR block inline, if the flicker stops, its the IR block.

Cheers Theo,
We used a mobile phone camera and an IR remote at Barambah, worked a treat.
