IR Neutral Density
2.4
4 x 5.65" (101.1 x 143.5mm)
Under the umbrella of high-quality camera accessories, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Neutral Density (2.4) Infrared Color Core Glass Filter stands out as a crucial tool for photographers and videographers. This filter, appearing in a subtle gray hue, is designed to meticulously control the amount of light that reaches the film, without altering the color balance.
In the realm of digital photography, color shift is a pivotal factor, and this is where our Tiffen filter shines. It effectively manages the color shift that is directly influenced by the infrared spectrum. This becomes particularly significant in high-definition photography, where the sensitivity of imaging sensors to IR can pose a challenge.
The Tiffen 4x5.65" Neutral Density (2.4) Infrared Color Core Glass Filter addresses this issue head-on. Traditional neutral density filters absorb visible light but allow infrared to pass through, which can lead to infrared contamination. This is a particular concern for digital cameras, as their CCD or CMOS is inherently susceptible to infrared contamination, even when manufacturers attempt to mitigate this issue by adding an infrared absorbing filter on top of the image sensor.
Our Tiffen filter, however, is designed to tackle this problem. While these filters do not have a sharp cutoff at the infrared wavelengths, they strike a balance to ensure visible red wavelengths are not excluded. This means that even when using denser grades of conventional neutral density filters, the issue of infrared contamination is significantly reduced.
In summary, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Neutral Density (2.4) Infrared Color Core Glass Filter is a vital accessory for any digital photographer or videographer, designed to manage light exposure and minimize infrared contamination, ensuring the highest quality images.
