Neutral Density Filters

These filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure. Neutral Density filters also allow proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus. ND’s are must have filters especially if you are thinking of doing more landscape and nature photography.

Pearlescent

The Black Pearlescent Filter from Tiffen is a 1-step diffusion filter that can be applied to soften contrast and reduce image sharpness, resulting in a more flattering subject rendering by reducing the appearance of blemishes and softening highlights. This is particularly suitable for digital cinematography, as high-resolution cameras may be unforgiving. Additionally, it creates a slightly reduced pearlescent halo around highlights, which can further enhance a subject’s appearance or produce a desired effect; note that this effect is less pronounced than the halo effect of a white pearlescent filter.

Sizes Available: 4×5.65/ 4×4/ 4 1/2″/ Series 9/ 138mm

PRESTON DIGITAL MICROFORCE ZOOM CONTROL

The Digital Micro Force drives the DM-1X and DM-2 digital motors. It automatically calibrates the motors to the mechanical span of the lens, preventing accidental damage to either the lens or motor. A bright LED bar graph displays the zoom position. Electronic limit stops can be set with the touch of a button. The soft stop feature allows the user to automatically slow the zoom a programmed distance from its end of travel. This is especially useful when doing a fast “snap” zoom, or when the user must both operate the camera and control the zoom at the same time.

Available Units: DMF 2 & DMF 3

The F/I features a bright LED bar graph display of lens position. End limits can be set with the touch of a button and are shown as illuminated bars. A tri-color LED is used to indicate wireless signal strength, along with red LED indicators for wireless channel, battery voltage status, and camera run/stop.

A soft urethane grip makes for comfortable all-day operation. Marking discs slide over the knob onto an index pin, so the user can know the current lens position without being near the camera. Power is provided by a standard FM-50 Li-Ion battery, allowing for approximately 8 hours of operation.
