Tokina 82mm PRO IRND 1.2 Filter - 4 Stops

For professional photographers and cinematographers seeking to capture the perfect shot, the Tokina PRO IRND 1.2 Filter - 4 Stops is an indispensable tool. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to precisely control the amount of light entering your camera lens, without affecting the color balance.

Unlike many high-end cinema cameras, which lack built-in low-pass or IR cut filters, the Tokina PRO IRND filter effectively reduces light sensitivity and exposure. This is crucial in preventing infrared pollution, a common issue when using stronger ND filters.

The Tokina PRO IRND filter stands out in the market due to its innovative Accu-ND Technology, developed by the expert team at Kenko Tokina. This technology ensures a truly neutral density filter that stabilizes the transmittance of color throughout the visible spectrum.

Available in both round and square/rectangular styles, the Tokina PRO IRND filter is versatile and adaptable to your needs. The round filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, ensuring high precision and true neutrality. The square/rectangular filter, on the other hand, has an ND vapor deposition coating sandwiched between two layers of glass. This design allows for the filter to be re-polished multiple times if scratched, extending its lifespan and reliability.

Unlike other IRND filters that cut the near infrared from a specific wavelength, the Tokina PRO IRND filter uses suppression to eliminate infrared pollution up to 1200nm. This method is less likely to produce unwanted color shifts, making it a more effective and reliable choice for professional photographers and cinematographers.

In summary, the Tokina PRO IRND 1.2 Filter - 4 Stops is a high-quality, durable, and reliable tool that offers precise control over light exposure and color balance, making it an essential addition to any professional photography or cinematography kit.
