Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Effective infrared suppression prevents the warm color shifts common with standard ND filters
  • 4-stop density is a versatile choice for both photo and video in bright conditions
  • Maintains neutral color balance so white-balance correction in post is minimal
  • 67mm thread size fits a wide range of popular lenses

👎 Cons

  • Premium IR-suppressing glass carries a higher price than basic ND filters
  • Single fixed density means you cannot dial in variable light reduction
