Hoya SOLAS IRND 1.8 62mm Infrared Neutral Density Filter

It's time to elevate your photography with the Hoya SOLAS IRND 1.8 62mm Infrared Neutral Density Filter. Expertly crafted in Japan using the most advanced materials and manufacturing processes, this filter ensures a consistent neutral color rendition across its density range of 0.3 to 3.0. Unlike many ND filters on the market, the SOLAS IRND series takes into account the impact of IR (Infrared) light on color, a critical factor often overlooked.

As digital imaging sensors become increasingly light-sensitive, they also become more prone to overexposure and heightened sensitivity to infrared light. The SOLAS IRND filters were designed to address these challenges. Available in densities of .3, .6, .9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.7, and 3.0, these filters offer 1~6 plus 9 and 10 stops light reduction, all while maintaining an impressively neutral color balance. This feature allows for the use of wide apertures or extended shutter speeds in bright lighting conditions.

Traditional ND filters often suffer from a transmission spike in the near-infrared area of the color spectrum, leading to color casting. However, the Hoya SOLAS IRND filters are engineered to suppress IR evenly across red, near-IR, and IR areas of the spectrum. This prevents any spectrum spikes that could add an unwanted color cast to your image.

The SOLAS series' unique combination of IR suppression and precise color balance, achieved through the use of cutting-edge ND materials, ensures a neutral color balance that remains consistent across all densities. Available in standard sizes ranging from 46mm to 82mm, the Hoya SOLAS filters are the perfect tool for photographers seeking to enhance their images while combating the challenges of digital sensor sensitivity.
