A quick experiment with the TV remote control demonstrated that my camera could see infrared. Take your camera to a dark room, point the remote at the lens, push the shutter and some button on the remote at about the same time. If you get a picture of the LED in the remote glowing brightly, your camera can see IR. If it's pitch black, it probably can't. Then I had to visit eBay. For comparison, here's the same scene in all of its visible spectrum resplendence: Neither image has much artistic merit, but I do like the ethereal quality that IR lends to the trees. I think this filter is a keeper.
