UV Pass Filters? (UK)

[asylumxl]

I am looking for UV filters, as opposed to the kind that stop it coming in, i would like one that only lets UV light in. So far i have had no luck and only found IR pass filters :(. If anyone can help me out, i'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Can I ask why?

IIRC B+W makes some; they're special order items at B&H, so you'd need to really search for them anywhere else. Or check out astronomy sites for hydrogen-alpha filters.

I don't know how far into the UV digital sensors are sensitive, but the glass in camera lenses usually cuts anything shorter than 350nm, so you only have quite a narrow band. Nikon and Hasselblad used to make UV-transmissive lenses using quartz glass, but neither are made any more. I'd be interested to know how you get on.

This guy uses a modified Fuji S3 pro for UV and IR. I haven't seen anyone do it with just an UV pass filer. Maybe the guy on that site can help you. He seems pretty helpful.
