Haida Magnetic Solid Neutral Density 0.9 and Circular Polarizer Filter for M15 Filter Holder, 3-Stop

A professional-grade tool for photographers, the Haida Magnetic Solid Neutral Density 0.9 and Circular Polarizer Filter is meticulously designed to enhance your photographic experience. This versatile filter is compatible with the separately available Haida M15 Filter Holder, offering a seamless integration for your photography equipment.

The filter combines the benefits of a solid neutral density effect with a circular polarizer effect. With an 8x filter factor, it provides a 3-stop exposure reduction, enabling you to capture images with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than typically required. This feature allows you to control depth-of-field and convey movement with ease.

The 0.9 density of the filter creates a darkening of the entire image, offering you the freedom to experiment with different lighting conditions and creative effects. The circular polarizer filter is particularly effective in reducing reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.

The filter's design also addresses the common issue of haze in photography. It arranges and filters directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, absorbing much of this light and resulting in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections. This feature enhances the saturation of skies and foliage, providing you with more vibrant and clear images.

Unlike a linear polarizer, this circular polarizer contains a quarter wave plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. This addition circularly polarizes the linearly polarized light, allowing for the use of autofocus and exposure functions without any disruption.

The Haida Magnetic Solid Neutral Density 0.9 and Circular Polarizer Filter is housed within a nonthreaded aluminum alloy ring, specifically designed to fit between the Haida M15 Filter Holder and an adapter ring for the filter holder. The filter holder's external dial integrates with the filter ring, allowing for independent rotation of the solid neutral density and circular polarizer filter.

Constructed from high-quality optical glass, the filter ensures clarity and color fidelity. Each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings, preventing internal ghosting and reflections. This also provides greater protection to the filter substrate and helps keep it clean for a longer period of time. The Nano coating associated with this filter provides an additional layer that results in an improved beading effect when the surface comes in contact with water or oil, facilitating more efficient cleaning.

In summary, the Haida Magnetic Solid Neutral Density 0.9 and Circular Polarizer Filter is a durable, high-quality, and effective tool for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and creative control.
