Wine Country Camera 100mm Starter Filter & Holder Kit with Lens Adapter,

About 100mm Filter
The 100mm filter size is the most widely supported size of square and rectangular filter. Multiple manufacturers produce 100mm filters.

WCC Blackstone ND & ND Grad Filters
Our Blackstone ND Filters are the technological cutting edge in filter design. The starter kit contains the two most essential filters for landscape photography. The 6 stops ND is the perfect medium density filter, giving you the creative possibilities of misty waterfalls, ethereal streams and heavenly clouds. The 2 stop ND grad works in nearly every outdoor situation. It's the one grad you'll pick when you need a grad.

The Polarizer
The Wine Country Camera 100mm holder system features an integrated rotating, circular polarizer. The polarizer fits inside the holder body, eliminating reflections and allowing geared rotation. We worked with a high-end optics manufacturer to develop the highest possible quality polarizer. Our polarizer uses 2.5mm thick Schott optical glass that is fire polished, free of surface aberrations and suitable for use with the highest resolving cameras on the market - including 100+ megapixel medium format cameras.

Blackstone ND filter
Blackstone ND 6 Stops is an excellent all around filter for landscape photographers. It's just dense enough to give a pleasant long exposure effect in just about any conditions

Blackstone ND Grad Filter
A two-stop soft-edge filter is the perfect all-around graduated ND filter. The density is sufficient to bring the highlights back from clipping without being "obvious". It's the grad filter that just disappears into your composition to create a subtle balance in the final image. The soft edge works well over a variety of terrain, such as mountains, meaning that this filter is extremely versatile.

Blackstone ND Grad Features

100% Neutral. 100% Resolution
Blackstone ND filters are a technological leap-frog advancement over competing ND filters. Legacy dye-based ND filters suffer from serious color cast. The first generation of Vapor Deposition Coated (VDC) ND filters have largely corrected the color cast problem, but lack the ability to resolve high-megapixel camera without diffusing the image. Wine Country Camera's exclusive Blackstone ND features the next generation of vapor deposition coating that is both perfectly neutral across all spectrums of light (including UV and IR) and resolves the image with zero diffusion effect.

Visible Light + UV & IR
Digital cameras place a far greater demand on filters to perform across the entire light spectrum due to the digital sensor's ability to record both UV and Infrared light. Legacy "stoppers are now obsolete as the digital sensor records both the color cast and the infrared light pollution that overwhelms the sensor and causes digital artifacts. Blackstone's NextGen VCD technology is perfectly neutral across all spectrums.

Fire Polished Schott Ultra White Glass
If you're going to build the best ND filter in the world, use the best glass in the world. Period. Schott's Ultra White optical glass has a crystal-like appearance and extremely high transmittance across the visible light spectrum. Schott Ultra White glass features an extremely flat, fire polished surface to eliminate any visible distortions caused by surface imperfections.

100+ Megapixel
The trajectory of cameras and megapixels is an obvious one. 35mm sensors are regularly resolving 40+ to 50+ megapixels, while medium format cameras are at 100 megapixels. Many filters (especially bonded ones) simply cannot resolve light at a sufficient resolution. The result is blurring of the image. Blackstone ND filters are designed and extensively tested on high megapixel Phase One cameras to ensure that they resolve to the highest degree possible. The Blackstone ND coating is the state of the art in ND science.

Includes Protective Filter Vault
Each Blackstone ND filter includes a protective filter vault for free (a $35 value). Filter vaults protect the filter from fingerprints and damage. When used in the Wine Country Camera filter holder system, they create a light tight enclosure to eliminate reflections behind your filters. Wine Country Camera's innovative filter holder system redefined how photographers use filters. Our holder system focuses usability once the camera is on the tripod and allows the photographer to fine tune their images using an iterative workflow.
