Tokina 95mm Pro IRND 0.6

The Tokina 95mm Pro IRND 0.6 filter is a professional-grade optical accessory designed for cinematographers working with high-end cinema cameras. This 2-stop neutral density filter combines infrared and neutral density technologies to precisely control light exposure while eliminating infrared pollution, a common issue with sensitive digital cinema cameras lacking built-in IR cut filters. The filter features Accu-ND Technology that stabilizes color transmittance across the visible spectrum, maintaining accurate color reproduction without requiring frequent white balance adjustments during shooting or extensive color correction in post-production.

Available in both round and square/rectangular configurations, the round version features ND vapor deposition coating on both glass surfaces for high precision neutrality, while the square version has the coating sandwiched between glass layers, allowing for potential re-polishing if scratched. Unlike conventional IRND filters that cut near-infrared at specific wavelengths, this filter uses suppression technology to control infrared up to 1200nm, minimizing unwanted color shifts and preserving true color fidelity.

Measuring 95mm in diameter for compatible lens systems, this filter is constructed from optical glass with precision coatings that ensure consistent performance across various lighting conditions. The infrared pollution control capability is particularly valuable when using stronger ND filters or shooting in bright conditions where increased light sensitivity can introduce color contamination. Professional cinematographers will appreciate the filter's ability to maintain exposure control while preserving the natural color characteristics of their footage, making it suitable for documentary, commercial, and narrative film production where color accuracy and exposure consistency are critical requirements.
