Hoya has launched new USA-exclusive Solas infrared neutral density filters. The company says its new IRND filters offer a consistent color balance across the density range while also suppressing infrared, the end result being a balanced image with reduced ‘IR contamination’ like excessive digital artifacts and color shifts.
Hoya has launched the new Solar IRND filters in the following sizes and densities:
0.3 (1-stop) – 49mm ~ 82mm
0.6 (2-stop) – 49mm ~ 82mm
0.9 (3-stop) – 46mm ~ 82mm
1.2 (4-stop) – 49mm ~ 82mm
1.5 (5-stop) – 49mm ~ 82mm
1.8 (6-stop) – 46mm ~ 82mm
2.7 (9-stop) – 49mm ~ 82mm
3.0 (10-stop) – 46mm ~ 82mm
B&H Photo currently lists the filters with the following prices: 46mm ($ 48.90), 49mm ($ 48.90), 52mm ($ 53.90), 55mm ($ 61.90), 58mm ($ 69.90), 62mm ($ 85.90), 67mm ($ 93.90), 72mm ($ 100.90), 77mm ($ 120.90), and 82mm ($ 151.90).
