Is there such a thing like low or high pass filter for camera lenses ? I think every exotic lens acts be or there such a way but my intention is to control these effects which I saw at Fourier Transform at Google.

You mean low- and high-frequency wavelengths? That would be an IR- or UV-cut filter.

Or low- and high- spatial-resolution frequencies? That's like an Anti-Aliasing Low-Pass filter that you get on Digital sensors. I don't know much about how they work, if they can just be added anywhere or if they have to match the pixel-sizes exactly...

Yes , the spatial ones I am looking for. Thank you.

PS. I dont think placing a low pass filter everytime on camera sensor is good idea , may be one of the reason digital fails , I know Leica removed some filters at their bw m camera but I think filtered one has lower contrast and less blow out highlights.
