Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Specifically engineered to filter out near-infrared and infrared light, which helps prevent color shifts in high-definition recording.
  • Effective in blocking near-infrared light waves, with approximately 45% attenuation starting at 680nm.
  • Constructed from Water White glass, which is designed to ensure increased optical clarity for images.
  • Designed without dichroic coatings, a feature intended to further ensure color accuracy during use.
  • Reduces exposure by 0.5 stops with a 1.41x filter factor, offering predictable light management.
  • Includes a padded pouch for secure storage and convenient transport of the filter.

👎 Cons

  • The filter reduces exposure by 0.5 stops, requiring adjustments in camera settings or lighting.
  • Its specific application to control infrared pollution might not be necessary for all shooting conditions or cameras.
  • Designed primarily for CCD or CMOS sensors, potentially limiting its broad applicability to all camera types.
  • The blocking of near-infrared light is not 100% at 680nm, starting at approximately 45% attenuation.
  • Maintenance and handling of a glass filter require care to avoid smudges or damage.
