This advanced technology eliminates the common issue of color shift, providing consistent, reliable results in any shooting conditions.Neutral density filters are an essential tool for both filmmakers and photographers. They provide precise control over the amount of light entering the lens. For filmmakers, this translates into the ability to match shutter speeds with your frame-rate, while also maintaining creative depth-of-field control. For photographers, it enables longer exposures or a shallower depth-of-field, even in the brightest sunlight conditions.The 55mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter is housed in a new low-profile, lightweight, precision-milled aluminum frame. This innovative frame design minimizes the risk of light leaks and bleeding around the filter, which can occur during long exposures. It also features front filter threads, allowing for the attachment of additional filters or a protective lens cap.This filter also boasts AR multi-coatings with waterproof and oil-repellent technology. The anti-reflection multi-coating significantly reduces reflections caused by scattered light rays, a common issue during long exposures. The waterproof and oil repellent top-coat ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, keeping your filter in optimal condition.For photographers seeking to achieve a specific effect or meet the demands of a challenging lighting situation, the 55mm HD MKII IRND 8 Neutral Density 0.9 3-Stop Filter can be combined, or "stacked," with other filters.
