This 1-stop, 77mm Tiffen Water White Glass Full Spectrum IRND Filter is a combination of both an infrared control filter and a 1.2 neutral density filter. An IRND is ideal for HD cameras, which have greater low-light sensitivity and, subsequently, an increased susceptibility to infrared contamination. When using a standard neutral density filter to counter the increased light sensitivity afforded by the HD sensor, the effects of infrared pollution become more apparent. This filter combines a neutral density filter with a comparable infrared control filter to eliminate the spill of infrared light reaching the sensor while still maintaining the extra exposure benefits of a neutral density filter.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting to precision metal rings.

1.2 Optical Density    ColorCore Water White Glass    Enables Use of ND without IR Pollution    Maintains Color Fidelity    Ideal for HD Cameras

Infrared control filter helps to block infrared pollution from affecting the color fidelity of imagery; this enables a wider color gamut and truer colors, especially noticeable in the darker regions of the image.

1.2 neutral density filter requires a 4-stop increase in exposure for normal results.

Water White optical glass for excellent clarity.
