Tokina 86mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.5 Filter - 5 Stops

With the Tokina 86mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.5 Filter - 5 Stops, you can effectively manage light exposure and eliminate infrared pollution in your cinematography and photography projects. This high-quality filter is a must-have tool for users of high-end cinema cameras, which often lack built-in low-pass or IR cut filters in order to mimic the human eye and capture as much image data as possible.

The Tokina PRO IRND filter, designed with the innovative Accu-ND Technology from the development team at Kenko Tokina, offers a solution to the common issue of infrared pollution. This occurs when more sensitive cameras require stronger ND filters to maintain exposure, leading to color shifting and the need for constant white balance adjustments.

This versatile filter precisely controls the amount of light entering the lens without affecting color, thanks to its Neutral Density feature. It stabilizes color transmittance throughout the visible spectrum, ensuring true color fidelity in your shots.

Available in both round and square/rectangular styles, the Tokina PRO IRND filter is designed for durability and longevity. The round filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, creating a truly neutral, high-precision filter. The square/rectangular filter, on the other hand, has an ND vapor deposition coating sandwiched between two layers of glass. This allows for the filter to be re-polished repeatedly if scratched, extending its lifespan.

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