Tokina Cinema PRO IRND Round Filter Rental
Tokina Cinema PRO IRND round filters receive a surface coating of ACCU-ND to ensure lighter weight and maximum image performance. The external coating is more susceptible to coating damage due to environmental factors like filter changes, however the all metal super slim filter ring provides ample protection from direct contact with glass surfaces that is inevitable in square and rectangular sizes.
Tokina Cinema uses the proprietary ACCU-ND world class electrolytic coating to deposit rare earth metals onto the glass surface to create hyper neutral density filters that have industry-leading virtually zero color shift. They have exceptional IR attenuation across the visible spectrum and well past near IR. The deposit method holds neutrality that is free of color shift over time.
ACCU-ND technology has been used on major feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent projects that demand the full color spectrum designed by the camera manufacturer without IR light contamination.
Control The Light, Not The Color
Modern digital cinema cameras create images with precision unlike any other tools in the history of cinematography. The manufacturers of digital cinema cameras build in very specific color science both physically at the sensor site and in the digital conversion process to delivery.
In the quest for accurate color rendition, various amounts of visible and infrared (IR) light near and past the visible spectrum are allowed to pass onto the sensor depending on the manufacturer specifications. This is achieved with an Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF). Often IR light can be imaged in black level when density is added using filters because the OLPF is tuned only for light entering the lens unfiltered. IRND filters are needed that either cut or suppress the IR light before it hits the sensor to allow for only light in the visible spectrum to pass.
