About Fotodiox WonderPana XL FreeArc

Overcome the challenges of shooting with Wide Angle or Ultra Wide Angle lenses with the WonderPana XL FreeArc 186mm Filter Holder Kit. This comprehensive filter system is specifically designed to accommodate UWA and WA lenses without causing vignetting, making it an essential tool for photographers working in demanding conditions.

The kit includes the WonderPana XL 186 Core Filter Holder, a dedicated holder that allows the attachment of 186mm threaded filters and caps to ultra wide-angle lenses that lack front threads. This holder is also compatible with the optional WonderPana XL 8" Holder Bracket, which enables the attachment of 8"-wide rectangular filters.

Constructed from rigid, all-metal materials, the 186 Core Filter Holder attaches directly to the lens barrel, ensuring a secure fit that doesn't compromise lens performance. The holder extends beyond the lens's integrated hood, providing additional protection against bumps and impacts. A 186mm lens cap and soft pouches for storage are included for added convenience.

The WonderPana XL FreeArc Core Filter Holder and 8" Bracket from Fotodiox is a dedicated filter holder that enables the attachment of 186mm threaded filters and caps to lenses that lack filter threads.

Once assembled, the entire system rotates a full 360 degrees, offering flexible placement of the filter in use.

The Fotodiox WonderPana XL 8" Holder Bracket is a two-piece assembly designed to be used in combination with a Fotodiox WonderPana XL 88 Core Unit. This allows for the convenient use of two 2.5 to 4.0mm-thick filters measuring 8in wide, or one 8in wide filter along with one 186mm round filter behind it.
