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
- Only available in the 67mm size, so other lens diameters require a separate purchase or step-up rings
- 4-stop density alone may not be enough for very bright midday scenes requiring 6–10 stops
- Premium IR-suppressing glass carries a higher price than basic ND filters
- Single fixed density means you cannot dial in variable light reduction
Frequently Asked Questions
How many stops of light does this filter reduce?
The SOLAS IRND 1.2 provides a 4-stop (ND 1.2) reduction in light transmission.
What does infrared suppression mean for my images?
This filter blocks infrared light that standard ND filters often let through, preventing the warm color cast and reduced contrast that IR contamination causes — especially in long exposures and video.
What thread size does this filter fit?
It is designed for 67mm lens filter threads.
Can I use this filter for video work?
Yes, it is well-suited for video. The 4-stop reduction lets you shoot at wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright light while the IR suppression maintains accurate color rendition.
