Product description
With the 49mm 6-Stop X4 Neutral Density Filter, you can capture the world in its true colors. This filter, a result of our groundbreaking research and innovative manufacturing methods, is the most color-neutral ND filter designed for the discerning landscape photographer. The X4 ND filter is crafted with SCHOTT Superwhite B270 optical glass, an ultra-clear crown glass produced by melting high-purity raw materials and using the continuous draw process. This process ensures excellent transmission in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrums, and a high surface quality that accepts our state-of-the-art MRC and nanotec coatings exceptionally well. Our proprietary MRC16, a multi-resistant coating, is applied to both surfaces of the glass disk to reduce reflection and increase surface durability. This coating is structurally harder than the glass itself, and the reduced reflections improve efficiency as less light is lost. The result is better contrast and color in your images, thanks to the elimination of stray light. The X4 ND filter is not just about superior image quality; it's also built to last. We designed this filter to be a workhorse for field work, capable of withstanding extreme wind, salt water, dust, and other abrasive conditions and elements. Incorporating our state-of-the-art nanotec Nano Coatings Technology, the X4 ND filter repels water and other elements rather than absorbing and smearing them. This feature ensures your filter stays clean and functional, even in challenging weather conditions. Unlike many neutral density filters on the market that exhibit a strong blue or magenta cast, the X4 ND filter offers the most color-neutral performance. This is achieved through an alternative manufacturing method to the conventional oven process. The X4 ND filter also boasts a flat transmission curve, indicating a perfectly color-neutral result. While no ND filter can claim to be perfectly neutral, the X4 ND filter guarantees the most color-neutral and flattest transmission curve of any ND filter. The X4 ND filter's design is a breakthrough in itself. The high-quality brass CNC machined frame, with our signature traction frame, makes the filter easy to attach and remove securely, even in cold conditions with gloves on. In conclusion, the 49mm 6-Stop X4 Neutral Density Filter is not just a tool, but a promise of optimal clarity and color neutrality for 25 years, even in the harshest of conditions.
