Rollei F:X Pro ND Filter Set 49mm

Rollei F:X Pro ND Filter Set

With this set you get one ND8, one ND64 and one ND1000 filter of the "F:X Pro" series. These three filter intensities are ideally suited for a wide variety of photographic challenges and give you the opportunity to implement many creative shooting ideas with all the advantages that an F:X Pro filter has to offer.

You can use the comparatively moderate ND8 round filter, for example, to compensate for slight overexposures, to gently smooth water surfaces or to create delicate wiping effects.

With the 6 stops of the ND64 round filter, even longer exposure times can be realized, for example to transform waves into almost mirror-like surfaces and to make unwanted people, vehicles or animals disappear from architectural photos.

With the strong ND1000 filter (10 stops), only less than 0.1 percent of the incident light reaches the sensor of your DSLR or DSLM camera. Use the ND1000 with an optical density of 3.0 for very demanding and elaborate long exposures, complex landscape and building shots, or for particularly eye-catching wipe effects. All three filters together or in the required combination of two then open the door to extreme filter photography for you.

In the F:X Pro filter series, Rollei has refined the ND (Neutral Density) filters, among others. The job of ND filters is to reduce the amount of light hitting your camera sensor. For this purpose, Rollei has provided the round filters, which are available in sizes from 62 to 82 millimeters, with the Luminance Coating, so that their reflectance freedom is 99.5 percent. This guarantees razor-sharp images - even with "high-end" cameras with 150 MP. Color fidelity is exemplary, which means you can capture your surroundings exactly as you saw them.

You need ND filters for this:

• Depicting motion through longer exposure times
• Removing moving objects from the image
• Highlighting the subject by softening the background
• Increasing the aperture - decreasing the depth of field

ND filters are available in various intensities and stops. A stop means that the amount of light incident on the sensor is reduced by one f-stop at a time. Depending on which filter with how many stops you use, you have to increase your shutter speed accordingly by the same number of stops. This enables you to capture magically drawn images with longer exposure times, even in sunny conditions. You can blur moving elements of your image composition, for example, which when shooting a river makes the water look silky - but larger rocks in the river are sharply drawn because they don't move. You want to photograph a tourist attraction like the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, but preferably without people in the picture? That's no problem with an ND filter either. The long exposure ultimately leaves only the motionless architecture in the picture. However, plan enough time for your long exposure, because depending on the setting, it can take several minutes to an hour.
