Haida MC Slim Pro II Neutral Density (ND) filters
Neutral Density Filter is used to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Think of it as a sunglass / shade which does the same effect by cutting out the light. ND filters are categorized by stops or shutter speed multiplier.
By doing so, you can achieve the following effects
1. Shoot at the largest aperture of your prime lens without reaching the maximum shutter speed limitation of your camera. This is typically done with ND0.6 (4x or 2 stops) or ND0.9 (8x or 3 stops) ND filter. E.g Using a Canon EF 50mm F1.4 @ F1.4 on a bright day would easily reach maximum shutter limitation, and cause overexposed shots.
2. Shoot “motion”. From silky waterfall , moving clouds on a bright day and sunrise/sunset, light trails of moving traffic.
A few features about the latest Haida Multi-coated Slim Pro II ND filters:
- Constructed with high quality Schott optical glass
- Minimum color cast even for ND3.0 10 stops.
Check out our photosphere flickr photostream here.
- 8 layers of multi-coat to reduce chance of flaring.
- Water & oil repellent
- Scratch resistant
- Slim profile to eliminate vignetting on ultra wide angle lenses
- Lightweight anodized aluminium ring
- Portable plastic box with soft foam, can be used to hold filters in the field. The foam helps to absorb moisture and slows down fungus growth.
- Multiplier factor imprinted on aluminium ring for easy reference
We will have 37-82mm sizes available in ND0.9, 1.8, 3.0 (3, 6 & 10 stop).
Here’s a table of Haida Neutral Density Filters’ Factors which are also printed on the filter ring for easy reference.
Neutral Density (factor) Exposure Adjustment
ND0.9 (8x) 3 stops, reduces light 87.5% or multiply shutter speed/time by 8x
ND1.8 (64x) 6 stops, reduces light 99.75% or multiply shutter speed/time by 64x
ND3.0 (1000x) 10 stops, reduces light 99.9% or multiply shutter speed/time by 1000x
All our ND filters comes with multiplier factor on the ring for easy reference!
Prices - We do encourage filter bundling (there’s a discount, buy more save more) so do check out other range of filters like UV, CPL. Working on our website at photospheresg.com, bundling will be available very soon.
The use of ND filters does need some trial and error and also experience. Hence in Photosphere we understand the need to show how the filters perform to convince customers, Photosphere will be holding regular sessions sunrise and sunset at convenient locations to demo our products.
