This 86mm The Collection 1Peak 10-Piece Filter Kit can provide a number of commonly applied or select enhancements to your imagery. Included is a UV, a circular polarizer, and a sold neutral density filter that are each constructed from optical glass which features 12 layers of anti-reflection coatings on each side. These coatings also offer scratch protection to the filter substrate while promoting clarity as well as color fidelity, and result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil for more efficient cleaning. For enhanced durability while remaining lightweight, these optical glass filters are each set within a magnalium-alloy filter ring.
Similarly, this kit's graduated filters also feature magnalium-alloy filter rings. These filters can apply effects to specific areas of an image without any unwanted changes to any other part of the image, and are constructed from optical plastic.
Metal screw-in front and rear filter caps are provided to help store as well as transport one or more filters in this kit. For one kit filter, or at least two kit filters that are stacked by screwing them together using their matching front and rear filter threads, the filter caps can be used to protect both sides of the filter or stack.
- Magnalium-alloy filter rings for enhanced durability while remaining lightweight
- 86mm front filter threads allow each filter to be used with other filters
- Metal screw-in filter caps to protect both sides of a single kit filter or stack of kit filters for storage or transport
- Microfiber cloth for cleaning and maintenance
- Absorbs UV light and reduces bluish cast of daylight
- Does not require adjustments to exposure while in use
- Creates no additional coloration or contrast
- General protection filter reduces dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching lens elements
- Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface
- Polarizer filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light
- Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors
- Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun
- Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features
- Filter ring can be rotated to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect
- Darkens the image by ten stops, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required
- Does not affect coloration of the image and are ideal for use with other filters
- Reduces green casts when shooting with daylight film under fluorescent lighting
- Darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected
- Filter effect is most dense at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle
- Does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters
- Rotating filter ring allows for gradation positioning along the horizon line
- Can be used to add red, orange, yellow, green, or blue to a hazy or colorless sky
- Filter colors are most dense at the edge and taper to clear by the middle
- Desired effects can be applied only to enhance the sky, without any unwanted changes to any other part of the image
- Rotating filter rings allow for gradation positioning along the horizon line
