Optical Glass Screw-in Filter

MRC8 CREDIT FILTER: Uniformly applied MRC8 to eliminate unwanted glare and ghosting which easily get’s compounded at long exposures. Our MRC8 is structurally harder than the glass itself, providing a protective scratch-resistant layer, shielding the glass from the elements of frequent fieldwork.

X2 ND (NEUTRAL DENSITY) FILTER: Our X2 ND 3-stop features critically sharp H-K9L optical glass made in Japan. The moment you pick up X2 ND you’ll immediately feel the craftsmanship and quality. We precisely machine each X2 traction frame from environmentally friendly aluminum, and with it’s matte black finish reflections are absorbed rather than reflected into the lens barrel.

NANOTEC: In addition to state-of-the-art MRC8, our optical engineers developed new nano coating layer technology, called nanotec, from the ground up to repel dirt, water and other elements by beading rather than absorbing and smearing. Set in our completely weather-sealed X2 traction frame the X2 ND was built to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions.

Infrared filters, sometimes called IR filters or heat-absorbing filters, are designed to allow IR mid-infrared wavelengths while blocking visible light.

Infrared filters are often used in devices with bright incandescent light bulbs (such as slide and overhead projectors) to prevent unwanted heating.

IR filters are widely used in solid-state (CCD or CMOS) video cameras to allow IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared light.

WORLDS MOST COLOR NEUTRAL POLARIZER, GUARANTEED: A perfectly flat transmission curve would yield a perfectly color neutral result, and while there is no such thing as a perfectly neutral CPL filter (contrary to what other filter makers may claim) the X4 CPL is the most color neutral any CPL filter, guaranteed.

WORLDS MOST ADVANCED POLARIZER: All commercially available CPL filters exhibit a yellow cast due to a gradual transmission increase starting around 600nm and then spiking at 650nm onward into IR. With our X4 CPL film we achieved a gradual transmission decrease from 600nm onward, and instead of spiking uncontrollably near 650nm and far into infrared, the X4 CPL sees very controlled transmission into IR, without the curve spike. Result: Warm and lively images without the apparent colorcast.

X4 CPL (CIRCULAR POLARIZER) FILTER: The X4 CPL features SCHOTT Superwhite B270(R) optical glass, which is an ultra clear crown glass. It is produced by melting high purity raw materials and then made using the continuous draw process. The result is excellent transmission in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrums, and a high surface quality that accepts our state-of-the-art MRC and nanotec(R) coatings exceptionally well.

MRC8 CREDIT FILTER: Uniformly applied MRC8 to eliminate unwanted glare and ghosting which easily get’s compounded at long exposures. Our MRC8 is structurally harder than the glass itself, providing a protective scratch-resistant layer, shielding the glass from the elements of frequent fieldwork.

X2 ND (NEUTRAL DENSITY) FILTER: Our X2 ND 6-stop features critically sharp H-K9L optical glass made in Japan. The moment you pick up X2 ND you’ll immediately feel the craftsmanship and quality. We precisely machine each X2 traction frame from environmentally friendly aluminum, and with it’s matte black finish reflections are absorbed rather than reflected into the lens barrel.

Hoya R72 Infrared Glass Filter - Plastic Storage Case - Hoya 1 Year Limited Warranty

Works well with digital cameras, especially mirrorless cameras or DSLRS with no IR blocking filter in front of the sensor. (Please check your camera's owners manual)

Only passes light at 720nm (high-red) and above. Gives more predictable results than filter that only pass Infrared light above 850 or 900nm.
