The 4 x 4" 0.6 (2-stop) Cavision Day for Night Filter is a great way to create images simulating dusk or nighttime while filming during the day. This filter is valuable since is enables you to shoot during the day instead of paying overtime to a film crew for night work. This is a huge benefit when working with a strict budget or when production time is of critical importance. This unique filter is tinted lavender blue which is normally associated with the color of moonlight photography.
