Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the main purpose of the 138mm Brilliant Full Spectrum IR 2.1 Neutral Density Filter?

The main purpose of this filter is to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens. This allows for a wider aperture and slower shutter speed, resulting in a brighter image with a shallower depth of field.

What is the benefit of the anti-reflection coating on this filter?

The anti-reflection coating on this filter reduces reflections on both filter surfaces, minimizing stray light. This results in brilliant images with vibrant contrast and color saturation.

What does the 'full spectrum' in the product name mean?

The 'full spectrum' refers to the filter's ability to attenuate all wavelengths of light, including UV, Visible, and Infra-Red. This comprehensive light attenuation helps to eliminate 'Infra-Red pollution', which can cause unwanted color shifts with digital cameras.

Why does the filter have a unique serial number?

Each Lindsey Optics filter comes with a unique serial number for improved traceability. This makes it easier for dealers and rental houses to manage their inventory.

Will the neutral gray color of the filter fade over time?

No, the neutral gray color is embedded in the solid glass of the filter itself, not in a plastic layer or a surface coating. This ensures the color will remain consistent and won't fade over time.
