Glass Filters: HD ND Blender Filter
Category: Blender N.D
High Definition Blender Filter. Having undertaken detailed research with DPs and other users of High Definition (“HD”) equipment, it became apparent that HD cameras require a more optically pure grey neutral density filter to avoid some of the colouration issues which are inherent in their use, particularly at low light levels. Formatt’s new HD NDs (available in standard and graduated versions) provide this with no colour shift of the type which can be found in some standard ND filters.
Formatt recommends the purchase of HD ND filters as they are the most optically pure ND filters available and, although designed for HD can be used with any type of camera. They are the same price as the standard ND range.
A blender is the same as a graduated filter, but with the transition taking place gradually over the whole length of the filter rather than in the middle. Blenders are available in all colours as per graduated filters.
Blender NDs are available as standard in 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 with heavier densities available to order.
