  • Hoya Solas infrared neutral density filters launch in USA

    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).

  • Tiny Atlas Solas ‘casual’ waxed cotton camera bag is lightweight and durable

    Tiny Atlas Quarterly, a travel publication, has launched a new multipurpose camera bag, Solas, on Kickstarter. The Solas bag is made from waxed cotton canvas, making it both lightweight and durable, designed to be carried as an arm tote, a backpack or a shoulder bag. The Solas bag measures 17in / 43cm high and 11in / 28cm wide, while the accessories bag measures 8.7in / 22cm by 8.7 / 22cm and the lens pouch measures 6.7in / 17cm wide.

    Solas is rain-resistant thanks to its waxed canvas exterior; it also features a pair of air-mesh organizer pockets and an internal key leash. The bag’s trim includes vegetable leather paired with metal buckles. An internal protective foam compartment is built-in for carrying cameras, while a padded sleeve can accommodate up to a 13-inch laptop. Additionally, Tiny Atlas says its bag features a cushioned internal frame for further gear protection.

    The bag is offered in three color schemes: Natural + Yellow, ‘Color Block,’ and Black. Tiny Atlas has reached and exceeded its $ 14,000 funding goal on Kickstarter, where it offers backers an early bird bag for $ 175, among other pledge options.
