Tokina 82mm PRO IRND 0.6 Filter - 2 Stops

Make your cinematography more precise and professional with the Tokina PRO IRND 0.6 Filter - 2 Stops. This advanced filter combines IR and ND capabilities, designed specifically for high-end cinema cameras that lack built-in low-pass or IR cut filters. These cameras, while capturing a wealth of data from the image subject, are highly sensitive to light, necessitating the use of a stronger ND filter. However, this often results in infrared pollution.

The Tokina PRO IRND 0.6 Filter addresses this issue, offering a solution recommended by many camera manufacturers. Unlike other IRND filters on the market, this filter minimizes adverse side effects such as color shifting. It eliminates the need for constant white balance adjustments and post-shoot color corrections, making your shooting process smoother and more efficient.

Developed by the expert team at Kenko Tokina, this filter incorporates innovative Accu-ND Technology. This technology ensures precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, without affecting color. It's a revolutionary tool that stabilizes color transmittance throughout the visible spectrum.

The Tokina PRO IRND 0.6 Filter is available in two styles: round and square/rectangular. The round filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, resulting in a high-precision, truly neutral filter. The square/rectangular filter, on the other hand, has an ND vapor deposition coating sandwiched between two layers of glass. This design allows for repeated re-polishing if the filter gets scratched, thereby extending its lifespan.

Unlike other IRND filters that cut near infrared from a specific wavelength, the Tokina PRO IRND 0.6 Filter uses suppression to eliminate infrared pollution up to 1200nm. This method is less likely to produce unwanted color shifts, making this filter a superior choice for professional cinematographers.
