The Calumet ND4x/ND8x/ND16x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers line of ND filters is the key to taking your photographic work to the next level by expanding your exposure control capabilities. Featuring 28 multilayer coatings, it not only provides unparalleled image quality, but also effectively protects your lens from accidental damage.
(Filter available in sizes 52 mm to 82 mm)
Control depth of field and exposure
The Calumet ND8x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers filter acts as a neutral aperture, reducing the amount of light entering the camera. This, in turn, gives you a number of benefits:
- Extend shutter speeds: Get a "silky water" effect with waterfalls, blur clouds to create a dramatic sky, or shoot in daylight with a long shutter speed for greater depth of field.
- Full control over depth of field: Use wide apertures without worrying about overexposing your photo to create a beautiful bokeh effect and expose your subject.
- Shooting in difficult conditions: The ND filter can handle overexposure in bright scenes, such as when shooting in the snow or on a sunny day.
Discover new opportunities
The Calumet ND8x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers filter is the perfect tool for any photographer, regardless of skill level. It will be perfect for:
- Landscape photography: Increase the shutter speed for smooth water sheets and blurry clouds, and control the depth of field to expose the most important elements in the frame.
- Night photography: Shoot with longer exposure times without overexposing the photo, capturing more detail in dark scenes.
- Portrait photography: Use wide apertures to create a beautiful bokeh effect and expose your model against a blurred background.
- Sports photography: Freeze the movement of fast-moving subjects, such as speeding cars or jumping athletes.
ND filter with 28 multilayer coatings:
Filters from the Calumet ND8x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers line feature 28 multilayer coatings to ensure the highest quality without adversely affecting the optics used in the lens. The filters are durable, and thanks to the coatings used, keeping them clean is extremely easy.
- Hydrophobic coating (makes water droplets do not settle on the surface and running off does not leave stains)
- Oleophobic coating (Greasy marks are much harder to stick to the surface and easier to remove)
- Scratch-resistant coating (Ensures long-lasting usability of the filter by protecting it from mechanical damage such as scratches and scrapes)
- Anti-reflective coating (Eliminates unwanted reflections and glare)
Effect of ND filter power on aperture:
- ND 4 - reduction by 2 EV, exposure time 4 times longer
- ND 8 - reduction by 3 EV, exposure time 8 times longer
- ND 16 - reduction by 4 EV, exposure time 16 times longer
Japanese AGC Glass:
You don't have to worry about loss of image quality - the filter uses Japanese AGC glass, which has a neutral effect on color temperature and does not cause rippling. In addition, the use of tempered 6H glass makes the filter even more resistant to mechanical damage, guaranteeing long-lasting functionality.
Sleek Aircraft Aluminum Frame, tabs for easy unscrewing:
The slim 3.3mm thick aerospace aluminum frame is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a solid protection for your lens. Equipped with tabs for easy unscrewing, the frame not only makes the filter easy to handle, but also adds elegance to the overall design.
Protective Box Included:
Your filter deserves the best protection. The kit comes with a protective box that not only protects your filter from damage during storage, but also makes it easy to transport - perfect for active photographers.
Simple Operation, Great Effects:
With simple installation and removal, our filter provides easy handling, allowing quick adaptation to changing photographic conditions. The tabs located on the holder make it much easier to mount/remove the filter on the lens. Attaching the filter is done by screwing it onto the lens - in order to select a filter of the right size, check the thread diameter of the lens on which it is to be attached (usually this information can be found on the lens or lens cap and is marked with a Φ sign, e.g. Φ52 mm).
Versatile Application:
The double threading on Calumet filters opens the door to creativity by allowing two filters or accessories to be used simultaneously. It's a practical solution for photography enthusiasts who want maximum flexibility in adapting their gear to different conditions and photographic needs.
