The Nikon D200’s sensor is not as sensitive to IR as say, the one in the D70, rendering the D200 relatively impractical for capturing IR images. It’s still doable though, so let’s learn about the infrared filters, techniques and other accessories that we can use to photograph in IR with the D200.

It only comes in one, rectangular size. You’d need to get a suitable filter holder and adapter. Probably more practical to get the Hoya, which will set you back USD300 if you go for the 77mm size.
