Tokina 105mm Cinema PRO IRND 2.4 Filter - 8 Stops

For cinematographers and photographers seeking to achieve impeccable visual quality without compromising on color fidelity, the 105mm Cinema PRO IRND 2.4 Filter is an essential tool. This high-quality, professional-grade filter is designed to mitigate the challenges of infrared pollution that can occur when using stronger ND filters on sensitive cameras. Unlike standard IRND filters that may introduce color shifting and require constant white balancing, this filter employs Kenko Tokina's innovative Accu-ND Technology to maintain true color neutrality.

The 105mm Cinema PRO IRND 2.4 Filter offers a substantial 8-stop light reduction, enabling the use of wider apertures and slower shutter speeds even in bright conditions. This versatility makes it an effective choice for capturing smooth motion and achieving shallow depth of field in both cinematography and photography.

Constructed with durability in mind, the round version of the filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, ensuring high precision and a truly neutral light control. For those who prioritize longevity, the square/rectangular variant boasts a coating sandwiched between two layers of glass, allowing for re-polishing and extending the filter's lifespan.

This filter stands out in the market with its approach to infrared control. Rather than cutting off near-infrared light at a specific wavelength, it suppresses infrared up to 1200nm, avoiding the common issue of unwanted color shifts associated with other filters. This method of suppression ensures that the transmittance of color remains stable across the visible spectrum, providing professional content creators with confidence in their work.

The 105mm Cinema PRO IRND 2.4 Filter's large circular size adds to its appeal, offering compatibility with a wide range of lenses, thus enhancing its utility for various shooting scenarios. With a high user rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars, this filter is recognized for its reliability and effectiveness, making it a preferred choice for those looking to produce high-caliber visual content without the hassle of post-production color correction.
