An innovative addition to the world of photography, the Illusion 95mm Full Spectrum ND Filter is the latest offering from Tilta's Mirage Matte Box series. This state-of-the-art filter is specifically engineered to fit the Circular 95mm Standard of the Mirage Matte Box, making it a seamless addition to your photography toolkit.
The Illusion Filters are a new breed of in-house manufactured filters, available in a range of Neutral Density levels. These levels offer photographers enhanced control over exposure, enabling them to reduce the light visible to the sensor. This feature is particularly useful when shooting in bright lighting conditions such as daylight, as it allows for a wider aperture.
One of the standout features of the Illusion 95mm Full Spectrum ND Filter is its ability to evenly reduce all wavelengths of light. This includes visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared, making it a Full Spectrum Neutral Density (FSND) filter. This type of filter consistently reduces the intensity of light without significantly affecting color, ensuring a professional presentation every time.
Exposure control is another key feature of the FSND filter. It reduces light, which is extremely beneficial for shooting in bright conditions, especially when a larger aperture or slower shutter speed is required. By using FSND filters, photographers gain enhanced control over exposure to achieve the desired effects, such as blurring motion, capturing flowing water, or creating long exposure effects.
In scenarios such as shooting High Dynamic Range (HDR) or capturing scenes with a bright sky and darker landscapes, the FSND filters aid in balancing brightness levels. This ensures a more uniformly exposed shot and prevents issues of overexposure or underexposure.
The Illusion 95mm Full Spectrum ND Filter also ensures accurate color rendition while reducing light. Testing indicates that FSND filters uniformly reduce levels in the light spectrum, meaning the overall spectral curve remains consistent. This ensures that light intensity for various colors is proportionally diminished, and does not result in color bias.
This filter is not only compatible with the 'Mirage' Ecosystem but also features a double-sided Nano Coating for enhanced durability. It's scratch-resistant, protecting the lens from surface scratches caused by foreign objects. Additionally, it's waterproof and oil-resistant, protecting the lens from rain, moisture, and oil stains.
In line with Tilta's mission to enhance the freedom of photographers and image creators, the Illusion 95mm Full Spectrum ND Filter goes beyond traditional artistic expression, offering a new level of control and precision in photography.
