This 82mm SLR Magic Solid ND Filter Kit contains five filters that can be used individually or in various combinations to create a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters..

These 82mm solid neutral density filters reduce the amount of light entering a lens by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 stops. Each filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and to prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes 16 layers of anti-reflection coating. These multi-coatings also offer greater protection to the filters' substrates and help them to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. A nano coating provides an additional layer over the multi-coatings, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

Each of this kit's filters are mounted within an aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight, and a filter case for each is included for storage and transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What kind of lens breathing is there if I want to try photo stacking with this lens?

A: The SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens does have visible focus breathing. One can crop to mitigate this effect.

Q: 2. Does it work with lumix gh4

A: Yes, the SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens, B&H # SLR8M4, would be compatible for use with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Digital Camera. However, do note that this is a fullly manual lens. As such, you would have to both focus the lens manually and you can set the aperture using the aperture dial on the camera.

Q: 3. Does this -SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens- works on Fuji XT1 camera?

A: The SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens has a Micro 4/3 mount, so it cannot fit the Fuji X-T1 directly nor can it be adapted to fit.

Q: 4. Will it fit on the Sony A7R 2?

A: You will need an adapter, and you will be cropping very heavily. The final image will probably be around 12MP.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with a LUMIX GX85?

A: Yes, the SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens is compatible with the Panasonic GX85 camera.

Q: 6. Has anyone compared this lens with the Kowa 6mm f1.8 C-Mount?

A: The SLR Magic 8mm f/4 looks like a modified C-Mount lens but the Kowa 6mm f/1.8 has a wider field of view and is sharper.

Q: 7. How does this compare to the rokinon 7.5mm. I shoot a lot of interiors and correcting the fisheye can get annoying. Is the sharpness on pair with the 7.5mm fisheye lenses? I alway shoot on a tripod and usually am at F5.6 or F8

A: The main differences between these lenses are feature-based. The SLR Magic 8mm f/4 is slightly less bright in low light and a bit longer in length versus the Rokinon 7.5mm f/3.5 Fisheye. Also, the SLR Magic offers a larger knurled focus ring for easier use with a follow focus system.

Q: 8. How do I put on a 52mm filter? I can't figure out how to remove the glass on the adapter.

A: To use a 52mm filter with the SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens, screw the filter adapter into the front of the lens--the front of the filter adapter has a 52mm filter thread.

Q: 9. Will this work with the sony FS5 with an adapter?

A: Yes, there are MFT to E mount adapters out there (I have one; VERY slim). You'll need to use Clear Zoom to crop into the usable portion of the image, as the lens barely covers an MFT sensor.

Q: 10. IT is listed for the front to take a 43mm or 52mm for a filter or an attachment, well if someone out there could help me out, which one is it?

A: The filter thread is techincally 43mm but it vignettes heavily so they include a step up ring to 52mm. Bottom line is it uses 52mm filters.
