“QUITE NICE...“
OR“WOW“?
Filters are an indispensable accessory for those
who want more from their photography than thestandard fare. With the right filter you can create
exactly the effect that you have in mind. Color.
Expression. Feeling. The possibilities are incredibly
diverse. No matter if you are an amateur or aprofessional – often it’s the filter which makes thedifference between “Quite nice…“ and “Wow“.

Protect.
Create.
Adjust.

COATING SYSTEMSM A DE I N
GERMANY

Bring light into the camera.
Coating is the process by which the glass surface of filters becomes non-reflective. And
the quality of the coating is crucial for the quality of the filter. Reflections can lead toghosting or double images. In addition, reflected light does not arrive where we want it tobe: On the film or the sensor. This makes a big difference, especially with high-resolution
cameras and high-quality lenses.
In addition, our MRC and MRC nano coatings ensure that liquids simply drip off thanks
to the lotus blossom effect. It protects against dirt, makes cleaning easier and ensuresthat you can get started - even with changes in temperature and humidity, as any fogging disappears more quickly.

PROTECTION FILTERS
Put an end to dirt and scratches.
One speck of dust and the photo is ruined. One scratch and you need a new lens. With our Protection
Filters you can save yourself the trouble and expense. Just put the filter on your lens and leave it there
until you want to use other filters. In short, Protection Filters are a standard attachment in everyday life.
Constant protection means that your lens element is shielded from dust, and other contaminants. Someof our Protection Filters also offer additional features, for example the filtering of UV light.

POLARIZING FILTERS
Less reflections, more intense colors.
Polarizing Filters can achieve some of the most interesting and important effects inphotography. Therefore, they belong in the basic equipment kit of every photographer.
With Polarizing Filters, you can reduce reflections and achieve a clearer, less disturbed
image, for example, when photographing reflective, non-metallic surfaces such as
windows, glass vitrines, or water surfaces. You can also enhance colors and achieve
higher contrasts, for example, between foreground and sky. The results can be dramatic!

TIP• The polarization effect is strongest at a 90° angle to the sun.
• You can find the optimum setting for your image by turning the filterand checking the result in the viewfinder of your DSLR camera oron the camera LCD.
• With wide-angle lenses an even polarization effect cannot be
achieved, as uneven darkening may occur.

ND FILTERS
For photos that not everyone can take.
With ND Filters, you can expand your repertoire by impressive effects that are not easy to create. From
wiping effects and light traces to the targeted reduction of the depth of field - the creative potential ishuge, and the areas of application are diverse. ND Filters are perfectly suited for all those who want todelve deeper into the art of photography.

TIP
For beginners it can be a challenge to achieve optimal results with ND Filters at first. There are a few
things to consider and often it is necessary to maintain perfect conditions over a longer period. With thesetips, you’ll have everything you need to get fantastic shots right from the very beginning!
• Use a stable tripod. Again, good equipment is 50% of success.
• Work in Bulb mode “B” for long exposures.
• Use the remote control of your camera app.
• Do not rely on the automatic mode but set the exposure values manually.
• Use low ISO values and choose a small aperture.
• Use Live View for control.
• Use the RAW file format to make post-processing easier.
• Cover the camera’s viewfinder while taking the photo.
• Our B+W ND Calculator app will help you set the correct exposure times.
• Remember to turn off the noise reduction program.

ND VARIO FILTER
Flexible light control without changing filters.
The ND Vario Filter gives you infinite control over the density from +1 to +5 stops. Whether you choose awide aperture to cleanly separate your main subject from the background, or go for long exposures to giveflowing water a soft character - our ND Vario helps you to create your perfect photo. For hobby filmmakers,
it also offers optimal light balancing for video and film recordings.

X across the photo? No way!
Light rays run differently in the center of the image than at the edges. Initially, this shows in the darkeningof the corners. However, in more pronounced cases it can have effects right up to image center. That iswhen an X-shaped shadow appears to lie above the image. Such extreme cases occur with wide-angle
lenses 28 mm and shorter. To avoid this effect, our ND Vario has a stop for the brightest and a stop for thedarkest position. NOTE: The markings are for reference only, and do not represent specific stops.

ND GRADUATED FILTERS
Connecting heaven and earth.
ND Graduated Filters are half transparent and offer a graduated ND grey filter effect on the other half.
They allow you to balance the contrast between sky and landscape in a targeted manner - for example toimpressively highlight cloud formations. For improved handling, these filters can be rotated in the filter
holder. This way you can easily adjust the filter effect to the desired position.

preserving the sharpness of your image.

TIP• ND Graduated Filters are not always easy to deal with. If this filter is new to you, werecommend you to simply go out and gain experience. In this way you will know how
to use them when it counts.
• Use the viewfinder to check the positioning of the filter on the horizon.
• Using an ND Graduated Filter will give you more options for the post-processing on
the computer. Without a filter, for example, the exposure range between sky and foreground, may prove difficult to manage.
• For best results, you should aim for a correct exposure of the foreground (landscapewithout sky) without an ND Graduated Filter. These values combined with the
ND Graduated Filter almost always result in an optimal reproduction of the bright sky.
23

BLACK & WHITE FILTERS
Colored filters for fascinating contrasts.
The filters themselves are colored, but they are mainly used to achieve expressive black and white contrasts. For example, you can add brilliance to clouds. These filters open a wide range of possibilities,
especially for experimental photography and playing with contrasts.

INFRARED FILTERS
Extreme contrasts for experimental black and white images.
Our Infrared Filter is our special filter for extreme contrasts, with which you can create experimental
black and white photos. The Wood Effect is particularly interesting: leaves and grasses appear brilliant
white. This is due to the special properties of chlorophyll. On the one hand it is transparent in the infrared
range, so that the light of the water contained in the plant is reflected, and on the other hand, chlorophyll
absorbs short-wave light and emits it with a wavelength shift in the infrared range.

TIP
When using Infrared Filters, there are a few things to keep in mind for best results. With these application
tips, you’ll have everything you need to get started:• Optimal IR effects only occur in very bright light.
• Check the IR capability of your camera by holding an IR remote control towards the camera and pressing the function button. If a white spot appears on the display of the camera, the sensor has sufficient
residual sensitivity for IR photography.
• IR photography requires longer exposure times. Therefore, use a tripod.
• Observe the IR index when adjusting the distance on your lens, to compensate for the focus difference
that occurs.
• Adjust the focus manually before attaching the filter.
• Choose a small aperture and determine the correct exposure time with a test series.
• IR images must be processed afterwards with an image processing program.

SOFT PRO
More than a soft focus.
This filter can do more than just blur! You can use it to make sharp images that are gently overlaid withblur. For example, you can create portraits in which details such as eyelashes are not blurred, but skinblemishes are gently masked. In addition to portrait photography, you can use the filter for great effects
in landscape photography. It dampens high contrasts and softens the light fringes in backlighting. In thisway, you give your photos a soft and romantic character.

SHIMMERING AURA WITH
SPECTACULAR LIGHTSSHARP CORE IMAGE,SOFT OVERLAY

High-tech for subtle effects
The effects of Soft Pro are made possible by irregularly distributed microlenses ona high-quality ground and polished filter disc. They scatter the light and thus superimpose the sharp core image with airy, diffuse light fringes. This opens deep shadows,
while highlights hardly blur at all, but create a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings.
• Works irrespective of aperture• Depth of field remains controllable• Camera autofocus still works

Our Soft Pro is available in
the BASIC filter line.

TIP• Choose a larger aperture, especially for smaller sensors and shorter
focal lengths.
• Select a focal length of not less than 24 mm for full format, or 18 mm
for APS. Do not set the aperture value below 8.

ACCESSORIESPOLARIZER FILM
Experimenting with photography.
Polarizer film and polarized light help you to take photos with particularly vivid color effects. Just
attach the polarizer film in front of a light source (e.g., flash units, LED photo lamps, etc.) with an adhesive
strip, rubber band, clamp or similar. The film is color-neutral and homogeneous. And it can be easily cut,punched, and bent. So, there are no limits to your experimentation.

Linear and in two thicknesses
Our polarizer film is available in two thicknesses: 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm(foil thickness for flexibility only, no optical difference).
• Repro technology for reflection-free photographic results• Effective range across the visible light spectrum• Wide range of applications like Inverting for LCD displays,visualization of tensions in materials, creation of impressive
color effects• Available in different sizes

ATTENTION• Some lamps, such as incandescent or halogen lamps, emit heat as well as light. DO NOT use themwith polarizer film, as this will melt the foil.
• Avoid hot spots (point-shaped heat exposure), as this will also damage the pol foil.
• The polarizer film is supplied with a protective film. Remember to remove it before use.
31

ACCESSORIESMADE INGERMANYLENS HOODS
Must-have for better image quality.
With a lens hood, you can achieve a better image quality - for almost any image motif.
How? The lens hood prevents disturbing light from coming in from the sides. This gives
you clearer contrasts and colors. In addition, the lens hood (also known as a lens shadeor sun visor) functions as a practical crumple zone that protects your expensive lenses.
In short: Lens hoods are accessories that you should only remove for specific reasons.
In most cases, it is better to have one on your lens.

ESPECIALLY SUITABLEFOR OUTDOOR & NIGHT
PHOTOGRAPHY

TIP• Actually, lens hoods can always be used, except when you are using a flash unit
(this can cause distracting shadows).
• When using lens hoods for zoom lenses, choose the shortest focal length to avoid
vignetting.
• The lens hood has no effect on frontal backlighting or light sources within the image.

FILTER FACTOR
Almost every filter absorbs a part of the light. The loss of light is compensated by a correspondingly
longer exposure. The filter factors given here apply to daylight and are approximate values that depend
on various factors - e.g., the lighting conditions, the sensor sensitivity, the desired result and more. Withbuilt-in exposure meters, the adjustment is automatic, but it may still be advisable to create an exposure
bracket to achieve a perfect individually adjusted result.
