This affects virtually all kit zoom lenses. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fullspectrum-cameras.com\/blogs\/news\/the-importance-of-choosing-the-right-ir-cut-filter-hot-mirror-vs-absorption-filter\"\u003eRead our in-depth guide on why Hot Mirrors fail on wide-angle lenses.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsorption filters work differently — they absorb UV and IR wavelengths uniformly across the entire filter surface, regardless of the angle of light.
