The Ice 150 x 150mm UV/IR Cut Filter is an ultraviolet and infrared control filter that is useful for digital cinematography and still photography. While recording video with a CCD or CMOS camera, multi-stop neutral density filters are used to maintain proper exposure by compensating for increased light levels when widening the camera lens' iris to obtain a narrower depth of field. As the increased amount of light passes through multi-stop neutral density filtration, visible light is progressively blocked, while infrared light is allowed to pass through. As the proportion of infrared light that reaches the camera sensor becomes greater, the results can show unwanted color shifts, particularly in dark areas of the frame, such as shadows where the appearance of black is dominant.

When the Ice 150 x 150mm UV/IR Cut Filter is applied, ultraviolet light waves and infrared light waves are suppressed, helping to ensure that light falling on a camera sensor is limited to the visible spectrum. When used along with multi-stop neutral density filters, potential infrared color shifts are prevented or minimized, preserving color accuracy throughout the frame. This filter may also be used to help ensure that the appearance of unwanted blue casts is reduced while recording video or still photos under daylight that also features intense ultraviolet light.

This filter cuts UV rays below 390nm and above 750nm, providing 99.4% light transmission between 400-700nm. The front surfaces of the filter include seventy layers of interference coatings, which limit the light that falls on a digital camera sensor to the visible spectrum. This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity. This 150x150mm filter is 2mm thick and fits filter holders, including the Haida Haida M15, Kase K150P, LEE SW150, and more.

Q: 1. Can this be combined with the StarSense app and holder offered be Celestron on other telescopes?

A: Unfortunately no, the Celestron Omni XLT 150 150mm f/5 EQ Reflector Telescope is not compatible with the Starsense holder.

Q: 2. Hi B&H Photo,Hope you may help. I'm interested of buying this filter for my Summilux 50mm f1.4 lens (1964 Type 2) which uses 43mm size filter.I mainly to use it for protection and would like to use Leica brand filter. However, I normally use UVA filter and never use IR filter before. With this filter it has UVA/IR so Im wondering how would the IR part impacting the picture quality. Im aware this was designed for M8 which reduces the purple-ish colour in Black colour. Im using M6 film camera with Summilux lens so I would like to know would that be ok to use this UVA/IR filter or it may have impact on picture quality if Im not using M8.Hope you may help and I rely on your expert opinions on this. :)Thank you,Frederick

A: This filter is an Infrared filter and is not for the use you described.I suggest a filter like this one. It is one of the better brands for optics and coatings.B+W 43mm XS-Pro UV MRC-Nano 010M FilterB&H # BWUVXSP43 ? Mfr # 66-1073879http://bhpho.to/1uBf9XT
