Tokina 86mm Pro IRND 2.1

The Tokina 86mm Cinema PRO IRND 2.1 Filter is a professional optical filter element designed for high-quality cinema cameras and sensitive recording devices. With a density level of 2.1, corresponding to a reduction of 7 stops of light, this filter allows for effective exposure control under challenging lighting conditions while maintaining precise color accuracy. Kenko Tokina's innovative Accu-ND technology ensures neutral density characteristics without color shifts in the visible spectrum, making frequent white balance corrections during shooting unnecessary. The round design features an ND coating on both glass surfaces for high-precision filtering, while the rectangular variant encloses the coating between two layers of glass, allowing for polishing and increased durability. With a diameter of 86 mm, this filter incorporates infrared suppression technology that controls infrared pollution up to 1200 nm without cutting specific wavelengths, thus avoiding unwanted color shifts that often occur with other IRND filters. This approach makes it particularly suitable for cameras without built-in low-pass or IR cut filters, which are designed to maximize image data capture according to human perception. The filter construction ensures consistent color transmission and reliable performance for professional filmmakers and photographers who demand optical precision. The robust design withstands professional use while maintaining optical clarity and neutral filter properties. The Tokina PRO IRND filter addresses common infrared pollution issues in digital cinematography and offers a practical solution for exposure control without compromising image quality or color integrity in various lighting environments.
