Tokina 86mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.8 Filter - 6 Stops

While many high-end cinema cameras today lack a built-in low-pass or IR cut filter to maximize data capture, they often require a stronger ND filter to maintain exposure, leading to infrared pollution. The Tokina 86mm Cinema PRO IRND 1.8 Filter - 6 Stops, a high-quality and reliable solution, is designed to address this common issue.

This durable and effective filter, crafted with precision by the innovative development team at Kenko Tokina, employs their groundbreaking Accu-ND Technology. This technology ensures a Neutral Density filter that expertly controls the amount of light entering the lens without any color impact, offering a revolutionary tool that stabilizes color transmittance across the visible spectrum.

The Tokina PRO IRND filter comes in two versatile styles, round and square/rectangular. The round PRO IRND filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, creating a truly neutral filter with high precision. The square/rectangular filter, on the other hand, has an ND vapor deposition coating sandwiched between two glass layers, allowing for repeated re-polishing in case of scratches, thus extending the filter's lifespan.

Unlike other IRND filters that cut the near infrared from a specific wavelength, the Tokina PRO IRND filter suppresses rather than cuts the infrared up to 1200nm, effectively eliminating infrared pollution. This method, compared to the more common cutting process, is less likely to produce unwanted color shifts, making the Tokina PRO IRND filter a reliable choice for maintaining true color fidelity in your cinematography.
