This 82mm neutral density filter boasts an unparalleled color neutrality, eliminating unwanted color casts and ensuring true-to-life images. Crafted with SCHOTT Superwhite B270 optical glass, the X4 ND filter benefits from a high-purity raw material base and a continuous draw process, resulting in superior light transmission across the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrums. The glass's exceptional surface quality is primed for the application of Breakthrough Photography's advanced multi-resistant coating (MRC16), which enhances image clarity by reducing reflections and increasing durability.The proprietary MRC technology, applied in 16 layers to both sides of the glass, surpasses the hardness of the glass itself, minimizing light loss and boosting contrast by eliminating stray light. This meticulous application ensures the X4 ND filter achieves peak light transmission, providing photographers with crisp and vibrant images.Designed to endure the rigors of outdoor photography, the X4 ND filter is weather-sealed, offering protection against extreme wind, saltwater, dust, and other abrasive elements. The inclusion of Breakthrough Photography's nanotec Nano Coatings Technology further enhances the filter's resilience, repelling water and resisting smudging for uninterrupted shooting in challenging conditions.The X4 ND's innovative traction frame, constructed from high-quality brass and CNC machined for precision, allows for effortless attachment and removal, even when wearing gloves in cold environments. This thoughtful design ensures that photographers can quickly adapt to changing light conditions without fumbling.Breakthrough Photography's commitment to quality is underscored by their 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee, ensuring each X4 ND filter is free from craftsmanship defects. The guarantee is backed by US-based support, accessible through phone, live chat, or email, providing peace of mind and assistance when needed.In summary, the 82mm X4 ND Traction Filter is the world's sharpest and most color-neutral ND filter, guaranteed to deliver high-quality, effective, and reliable performance. Its durable construction, high-quality materials, and advanced coating technologies make it a versatile choice for photographers seeking to capture stunning images in a variety of lighting conditions. With its 6-stop light reduction capability, the X4 ND filter is an essential piece of equipment for achieving creative control over exposure and depth of field in bright environments.

The 82mm X4 UV Traction Filter, with its brass frame, Schott glass, and Nanotec coating, is a testament to superior optical technology. This high-quality filter is renowned for its unparalleled optical resolution, surpassing all other protection filters in the market. Engineered by Breakthrough Photography, the X4 UV filter incorporates state-of-the-art MRC16 and nanotec nano coating layers. These uniformly applied layers enhance light transmission up to 99.4%, creating a protective shield that's structurally harder than the glass itself. This innovative design ensures the filter can withstand the rigors of professional outdoor photography.The X4 UV filter features SCHOTT Ultrawhite B270 optical glass, made in Germany, known for its critically sharp imaging capabilities. This durable glass offers high optical clarity and resistance to scratches and abrasions, making it an effective tool for photographers.The nanotec Nano Coating layer, built into both sides of the filter, repels dirt, water, and other elements by beading rather than absorbing. This makes cleaning the filter faster and easier than ever before, ensuring you can focus on capturing the perfect shot.The X4 UV filter's design is a breakthrough in filter technology. It features a full traction texture around its entire circumference, making it easier to securely attach and remove. This filter is machined from brass, stronger than aluminum, providing a more reliably solid feel and less binding and jamming on lenses and with other filters.The X4 UV filter also features an ultra-slim double-threaded 3.2mm Traction Frame. This eliminates vignetting and light falloff on full-frame wide-angle setups, while still being compatible with all your lens caps. The double-threaded traction frame will accept all of your filters and existing lens caps, making it a versatile addition to your photography equipment.Every X4 UV filter comes with a unique serial number laser engraved onto the interior frame. This allows Breakthrough Photography to provide personalized support and confirm the authenticity of the product. With every purchase, Breakthrough Photography also contributes 5% directly to non-profits, demonstrating their commitment to making the world a better place. In summary, the 82mm X4 UV Traction Filter is a professional, innovative, and high-quality tool designed to enhance your photography experience and protect your camera lens from the harmful effects of UV light.

Resolving critically sharp and delivering best-in-class color neutrality, the X2 ND combines the best optical engineering and our signature traction frame in a ultra-slim form factor for the discerning outdoor photographer. Sharper and more color neutral than B+W, Format-Hitech and Lee Filters. 110% Guaranteed High-quality ND filters have long been defined by their ability to control color cast and the X2 ND is no exception. With the X2 ND we didn't want to manufacture just another ND filter. We believe that a critically sharp and color neutral performance is essential for professional real-world results. The X2 ND features critically sharp H-K9L optical glass made in Japan and incorporates our state-of-the-art and uniformly applied MRC8 to eliminate unwanted glare and ghosting which easily get's compounded at long exposures. And our MRC8 is structurally harder than the glass itself, providing a protective scratch-resistant layer, shielding the glass from the elements of frequent fieldwork. How does poor quality MRC adversely affect image quality Poorly coated ND filters commonly exhibit visible flaring, ghosting, low-contrast and an reduction of sharpness and increase exponentially with a longer exposure. This also has the unfortunate effect of lowering the optical performance of the lens to the optical performance of the uncoated filter. Design & Craftsmanship 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. The X2 features a 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded traction frame to eliminate vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups. Why 3.5mm In our lab tests 4.3mm was the frame width at which point vignetting becomes noticeable on 16mm wide-angle setups on full-frame setups. Any less than 3.0mm and lens caps don't have enough surface area to grab onto. At 3.7mm vignetting is entirely eliminated. Fully equipped for the great outdoors 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, guaranteed to be free from craftsmanship defects for 25 years. Double-threaded & Laser Engraved We laser engrave lettering into the X2 ND traction frame to ensure that the lettering won't ever fade or come off after consistent use. We also engrave each and every X2 traction frame with a unique serial number. When you activate your 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee online we associate your X2 serial number to you, so any future discussions on this unique filter are tracked, issues recorded and all that stuff which goes into future product design.
