How do I use a Cokin 89B infrared filter on my Nikon D80?

I am not familiar with the Nikon D80 but I will relate to you my experience. I have not used this filter on a Digital camera yet. I have shot lots of B/W IR with film. I used ASA 50 with the focus slightly off as IR is not the same wavelength as what we see. I have shot only B/W on weathered buildings/structures. The results is usually what I am looking for. Now, with digital I just purchases a filter but will not have a chance to use it until late this month in Wyoming and Montana (ghost towns). Bottom line is if you are shooting B/W, set your ASA to 50 and slightly out of focus. I have no experience with color. You may have to do a little experimenting to get what you want. If you want I can send you some of my photos after I get back from my trip. You might also try using a red filter.

On the D80 you have to prefocus before using the filter as the D80 has no live view and you cannot see anything with the filter attached, AF and metering do not work either. That required the camera be tripod mounted and all auto functions set to manual. It is much simpler to use it on a newer camera with live view mode such as a D7000.

The kit comes usually with two metal rings that have adhesive on the back. Peel off protective cover and a place on the camera lens housing. The "Filter" has a magnet on back and all you have to do is place the filter very close to metal ring and it will be drawn to metal ring. There are videos on Carryspeed webpage that will show you everything you need to know.

Well, I have the Nikon D4 and it was very easy to install. I figure that with the D800e it's the same. Plug it in the little hole in front of the camera. And it works really nice!.

As far as I know you can only use an infrared remote for a D3000. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Remote-Cords/4730/ML-L3-Wireless-Remote-Control-%28Infrared%29.html

To be effective any camera including yours must be capable of filtering the light source to receive and use the infrared spectrum, most commonly the 840nm band. The infrared light may be visible but not usable.

The Cokin filter holder does *not* tighten down on the lens barrel with a screw. Instead, an adapter of the appropriate size screws into the lens barrel (like a regular filter) and the universal Cokin holder slips securely onto the adapter. You will need to buy an adapter for each size of lens that you plan to use with the filter holder. You can find adapters on Amazon.

Sorry I can't help you on this. I have A D800, and it works as advertised. Try calling Nikon technical help, their number is on their website.

Bought the Professional Accessory Kit for my Nikon L820. Found several problems: 1. With filter adapter on you get tunnel vision as you begin to extend the lens. 2. Apparently the filters will not work on the Nikon lens itself (too large circumference) so they are basically useless to me. 3. The hood will not take filters as the lens will push the filter out as it extends. If I am doing something wrong, someone please let me know. Have e-mailed the product source 3 days ago, and although a prompt reply was promised, I have yet to hear from them.

Make sure you read the manual on how to set it to remote. However, personally I had a horrible experience with this IR Remote. I sent it back and went with the Nikon version. Works better.

I bought this tube because my camera won't allow screw on lenses. I wanted to start taking photos in Infrared so I also bought that filter. When I first attached both and went out to try it, the first thing I discovered was that unless you shoot way out, you get a tube effect. Second, the filter is so dense that you really can't see what you're shooting. The only way to take advantage of this combo is to mount your camera on a tripod and adjust your image. Then add the filter and take the shot. I opted to convert this camera to IR through Kolarivision. Having said all this, I will eventually use the tube with the polarizing filter which I bought at the same time.

No. That camera does not have the proper threading for filters. I believe you'd have to buy an adapter such as this: Nikon Coolpix P510 Lens / Filter Adapter Tube 67mm to use a filter.In all honesty, if you're just starting out, filters are pretty useless to you at this point. You still need to learn the basics.

The other answer looks correct. I use the SB-900 with my R1C1 unit. You might consider a book on the Nikon Creative Lighting System for good information.

It works on my D7100 and D750. Can't see why it will not work on your D800. It is not a "Pass through" signal however. If you mount you flash on top of the wireless trigger is will not fire the flash - only the shutter. I know strange - so why did they put a hot shoe mount on the trigger. Check the specs. You'll find that it says that it is not a pass through signal. Yongnuo does make a trigger that is pass through for Nikon I think it is their YN-622N

I used it with my D800. Works great. The timer on the remote is really nice if you are shooting bulb especially.

The Hoodman Eye piece designed for the D800 does work well and I use it all the time. But, it is large and blocks part of the screen. The should make it a little smaller.

The D70 is one of the simplest digital cameras to convert to infrared. It would be best to perform the conversion in a well lit area that is as clean and dust free as possible. Wearing a grounding strap will minimize the chance of zapping your camera with static and most likely rendering it dead.
