I think the filter number you have given is wrong....  You want the 486 
filter.  If you got a 489 filter, also IR blocking, it has
the wrong characteristics ( more blue light pass, and a closer cutoff than 
the 486 for IR.)

Incidentally, B+W also make slim filters in 49 and 55mm mount......!  and a 
bunch of others....

I could not locate info on a B+W 289 filter.......

Info on filters here.....
