The Ice 43mm 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 43mm 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. It features a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy filter ring with front threads for adding additional filters or accessories.

Suppresses ultraviolet light waves, reducing the bluish cast of daylight when recording video or still photos.

Useful with CCD or CMOS sensors to filter out infrared light pollution that causes color shifts frequently associated with high-definition recording with multi-stop neutral density filters.

Does not require exposure adjustment while in use.

Seventy layers of interference coatings on the front surface limit light that falls on a digital camera sensor to the visible spectrum.

Constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity.

Plastic case included for storage and transport.

The 43mm front filter threads allow use with other filters to protect the front surface or combine with other effects.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the image stabilization work for video as well or just for photos?

A: It seems to work well for both.

Q: 2. what is the difference between this lens and the sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS??

A: This lens is smaller and thinner than the other 18-200. I would likely recommend this 18-200 over the other one. It fits cropped bodies like the A6000 series a lot better.

Q: 3. If I purchase fuji x-t1 (from 2/21/2014 on) will it contain most recent filmware update for fuji 60mm?

A: It is always advised to check the camera once you receive it to see the firmware version, as we do not have access to our inventory to check beforehand. Firmware is free and user installable.

Q: 4. Is the auto-focus speed faster than the 20mm?

A: most definitely YES

Q: 5. Does this lens have a metal mount?

A: Yes, the Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 lens has a metal lens mount.

Q: 6. which is better, the 25mm or 20mm?

A: the 20mm is a pancake lens and is older. The 25mm has better auto focus and is much faster. However I have noticed some small lens flares when taking shots of buildings/sky they show up as darker circles due to the coating on the lens but can easily be fixed in photoshop. When i first started seeing these spots I thought my lens had issues, but it is not in every picture.

Q: 7. How good is the dust- and moisture- sealed construction?

A: Nikon lists this lens as Dust and moisture sealed construction. Not designed like most lenses for hard rain.

Q: 8. What does the SE stand for?

A: SE stands for Special Edition. The Nikon 28mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Z Lens (SE) inherits its design from the classic NIKKOR lenses released around the same time as the Nikon FM2 film SLR camera, with features that faithfully reproduce the designs of that time, such as knurling, and a prominent control ring.

Q: 9. where is this lens manufactured ?

A: Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens country of origin is China.

Q: 10. How much better in low light is this than the Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 in terms of what ISO the camera needs to be set to get the same results?

A: It is roughly 2 stops of difference if compared to the F3.5 at 14mm of the 14-42mm lens, so if you are at 400 iso on the camera with the 3.5 in 14mm of the 14-42 then you can be at 100 iso with the F1.7 with the 25mm lens.
