Tokina 127mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.8 Filter - 6 Stops

From the innovative minds at Kenko Tokina comes the 127mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.8 Filter, a high-quality, durable solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional cinematography. This filter is engineered to address the common challenge of infrared pollution without the adverse side effects, such as color shifting, that are often associated with other IRND filters on the market.

The Tokina Cinema PRO IRND filter stands out with its Accu-ND Technology, ensuring precise control over light transmission while maintaining true color fidelity. This technology allows filmmakers to capture scenes with the desired depth of field and motion blur, even in varying light conditions, without the need to continually adjust white balance or correct color shifts in post-production.

Crafted for versatility and reliability, the filter features a neutral density vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, resulting in a high-precision filter that does not affect the color spectrum. This meticulous design ensures stable transmittance of colors throughout the visible spectrum, making it an effective tool for preserving the artistic intent behind every shot.

The Tokina PRO IRND filter is available in both round and square/rectangular styles. The round filter's dual-sided coating offers immediate usability, while the square/rectangular filter's design, with the coating sandwiched between two layers of glass, allows for re-polishing, significantly extending the filter's lifespan even in the face of potential scratches.

Unlike other IRND filters that cut near-infrared light from a specific wavelength, the Tokina PRO IRND filter employs a suppression technique that controls infrared light up to 1200nm. This method is preferred by many cinematographers for its ability to eliminate infrared pollution without the risk of producing unwanted color shifts, a common issue with filters that cut infrared light.

In summary, the 127mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.8 Filter by Tokina is an essential tool for filmmakers seeking to achieve professional-grade imagery with six stops of light reduction. Its effective IR suppression, combined with the Accu-ND Technology, ensures that each frame captures the truest colors and the finest details, just as the human eye perceives them.
