Tokina 112mm PRO IRND 0.9 Filter - 3 Stops TC-PNDR-09112

Where high-end cinema cameras strive to mimic the human eye, capturing as much data as possible from the subject, they often lack built-in low-pass or IR cut filters. This sensitivity to light necessitates the use of a stronger ND filter, which can unfortunately lead to infrared pollution. The Tokina PRO IRND 0.9 Filter - 3 Stops is a solution to this common issue, designed to precisely control the amount of light entering the lens without affecting color, thanks to Kenko Tokina's innovative Accu-ND Technology. Unlike many IRND filters on the market, the Tokina PRO IRND filter minimizes the adverse side effects such as color shifting. This means less time spent adjusting white balance to maintain true color fidelity, and less post-production work to correct color shifts. This filter is a revolutionary tool that stabilizes the transmittance of color throughout the visible spectrum, effectively reducing infrared pollution.Available in both round and square/rectangular styles, the Tokina PRO IRND filter offers versatility to suit your needs. The round filter features an ND vapor deposition coating on both sides of the glass, ensuring 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 scratched, 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. This method of suppression eliminates infrared pollution without the risk of producing unwanted color shifts, making it a superior choice for professional cinematographers.
