Under the umbrella of high-quality photography accessories, the SND1.2 (4 Stops) 100mm Ultra Slim S-Pro Nano MC Neutral Density Square Filter by SIRUI stands out for its exceptional ability to moderate light intake without distorting color or contrast. This indispensable tool is perfect for bulb exposures in broad daylight, enabling you to capture stunning images with wiping or flowing effects, such as those seen in running water.
Achieving these effects typically requires a slow shutter speed, which without a neutral density filter like the SIRUI SND1.2, would lead to over-exposed images. This filter also excels in scenarios where an open shutter is used to create a shallow depth of field, as it compensates for the increased light transmission.
Designed with a slim 2mm thickness, this SIRUI ND Square Filter is compatible with both SIRUI and other 100mm filter holders. The SIRUI Filter Holder (NDH-001, Spec: 100mm) allows for the attachment of SIRUI ND Square Filters to full-frame camera lenses as wide as 16mm and filter diameters up to 82mm.
One of the standout features of this filter is its construction from German-manufactured Schott Plate Glass B270. This material, combined with an exclusive lens coating process, allows for multiple ultra-thin layers of coating to be applied to each glass surface. This ensures a perfectly linear, uniform reduction of light from edge-to-edge, maximum light transmission, reduced reflections, and precise color rendition.
To ensure longevity and ease of maintenance, the SIRUI SND1.2 filter comes with a protective coating that is waterproof, oil-resistant, scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, and anti-static. This makes cleaning a breeze and provides superior lens protection, making it an ideal choice for photographers seeking to enhance their craft with top-tier equipment.
