While initially crafted to meet the rigorous demands of the film industry, LEE Filters' ProGlass IRND range now offers photographers the same superior quality neutral-density filters. These high-performance filters, born from cutting-edge coating technology, are designed to reduce light intensity without compromising the color balance, making them an essential tool for capturing stunning images in bright conditions.
The ProGlass IRND filters are meticulously engineered to be perfectly neutral, ensuring virtually no color shift for accurate stop values. Their unique ability to block both infrared and ultraviolet pollution results in pure, clean blacks and crisp, vibrant colors, enhancing the overall image quality.
The 6, 10, and 15-stop filters in this range are equipped with a foam seal, designed to fit snugly to the filter holder, effectively preventing light leaks. For optimal performance, these filters should be positioned in the slot closest to the lens. The 2, 3, and 4-stop versions, while not featuring a foam seal, should also be used in the same manner to ensure a secure fit.
The versatility of the ProGlass IRND filters allows them to be used in conjunction with other filters such as neutral density grads and the polarizing filter. This provides photographers with even greater control over in-camera image quality. Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, the ProGlass IRND filters are a valuable addition to your photography equipment, offering enhanced flexibility and precision in capturing the perfect shot.
