This is a database of lenses suitable for infrared photography. It contains 334 lenses across 31 lens mounts. When shooting infrared, some lenses will display hot spots in the center of the image. While some mild hot spots can be edited out of an image during editing, it is preferred to avoid shooting with lenses or at apertures that produce hot spots. Using lower-numbered ƒ-stops can reduce or elimiate hot spots with some lenses.

Notice: Infrared photography utilizes camera lenses designed for visible light, not infrared light, combined with various filters types from various manufacturers. While the lenses on this database have been reported to work well with infrared photography from at least one source, this is not a guarantee.
