The properties of two Fe I lines at 15648.5 A and 15652.9 A in the infrared H-band are investigated using numerical radiative transfer calculations. It is shown that using this combination of a Lande g = 3 and a g(eff) = 1.53 line it is possible to measure the field strength in solar magnetic features simply and with great accuracy. The g = 3 line alone allows field strengths as low as 300-600 G to be measured. By forming the line ratio between the V profiles of these lines it is, in principle, possible to measure field strengths as low as 100 G, thus achieving a sensitivity otherwise only possible with the emission lines near 12 microns. Other diagnostic capabilities of these lines are also analyzed.
