The Norman ND-5 Neutral Density filters worked great reducing the glare from the sun and flood lights in the area. I used the lightest filter so it wouldn't darken the view from my surveillance camera too much and it's working great. I can't show what the camera is pointing at because some neighbor's houses are in the camera's view but it's like putting mild sunglasses in front of the camera lens. Cool to have!

It's essential for professional photographers to have precise control over their lighting, and the Norman ND-5 Neutral Density Filter Pack provides just that. This pack includes a trio of 5" square high-temperature filters, each designed to seamlessly integrate with the FF5 Filter Frame. Crafted for durability and efficiency, these filters are compatible with a range of Norman accessories, including the BD45 Barn Doors, G45 Grid, and the FFH-5 Filter Frame Holder, ensuring a versatile and reliable solution for various lighting setups.
The assortment comprises a meticulously calibrated set of filters, offering one 1-stop, one 2-stop, and one 3-stop gel, allowing photographers to effortlessly adjust the light intensity to achieve the desired creative effect. Whether you're aiming for a subtle reduction or a more significant decrease in light, these filters provide the flexibility needed for perfect exposure control.
Norman's ND-5 Neutral Density Filters are engineered to work in harmony with all Norman 5" diameter reflectors. The list of compatible reflectors includes the 2D, 2D-RP, 2D-ML, 2DRP-ML, 5DL, 5DL-RP, and the IL2500-TC Illuminator, making them an indispensable asset for portrait photographers who strive for that dramatic, blurred background effect with a shallow depth of field.
High-quality and reliable, these filters are produced by Norman, a brand synonymous with excellence in photography equipment. Their design is specifically tailored to fit Powerpack Strobes, offering seamless integration for photographers who prefer or are considering this popular strobe brand.
Please note, when using these neutral density filters, it is crucial to employ a fan-cooled lamphead if your lighting setup includes a quartz modeling lamp. This precaution ensures the longevity of both the filters and the lamphead by preventing heat-related damage.
In summary, the Norman ND-5 Neutral Density Filter Pack is an essential tool for photographers looking to refine their lighting technique with high-quality, efficient, and reliable accessories that enhance their creative potential.
