Solas Variable NDX – ND2.5 to ND450Density range – 1.3-stops to 8.7-stopsSpecial Depolarization Layer for Color ConsistencySharp and Glare-free resultsAccepts Lens caps and other filtersPerfect for Photographers and FilmmakersVariable Neutral density filters are a convenient tool for filmmakers and photographers because they reduce the need to carry multiple ND filters and they allow you to precisely control the amount of light by 10ths-of-a-stop by rotating the outer ring to adjust exposure. For filmmakers, this means shutter speeds that match your frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of-field you want. For photographers, it means you can reach longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field in bright sunlight. The downside to most Variable ND (Fader) filters is unpredictable “Color Shift”, loss of sharpness, and glare. These deficiencies are caused by low quality glass, bad multi-coating technology, cheap polarizing films, and poor manufacturing QC. The result is an inexpensive but image degrading product. The Hoya SOLAS Variable NDX filter solves these problems by using only the latest technology, premium materials, the best Japanese manufacturing know-how, and attacking “color shift” with an exclusive “Depolarization” layer baked into the optical formula. The result: a filter that maintains consistent color from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops. Filmmakers can now tweak density as the light changes without fear of a color grading nightmare in post. Photographers can focus, compose, and set WB at 1.3-stops then adjust density as much as 8.7 stops without having to change filters. And YES, you can use your original lens cap and most manufactures’ lens hoods. The lightweight aluminum filter frame sports front filter threads so you can attach lens caps but more importantly additional filters when additional density or other special effects are needed. The filter is only available in 77mm and 82mm because they allow for the greatest amount of precise density control. The “throw” or rotation is greater than smaller filters so it is much easier to achieve an exact density. The filter will also work perfectly on lenses with smaller filter threads by using an inexpensive Step-up ring (sold separately). The Solas Variable NDX The First Color Consistent Variable Neutral Density Filter From Hoya Highest Quality MaterialsJapanese Engineering and CraftsmanshipThe Solas NDX uses the highest quality optical glass, super-thin optical grade polarizing films, and many layers of Hoyaʼs patented multi-coatings on each of the 4 sides of glass. The result is a sharp, glare-free filter that produces superior quality images you can trust. It’s all about DepolarizationColor Consistent Throughout the Density RangeMeet “Depolarization”. A special patented layer baked into the optical formula that accomplishes the near impossible by controlling color shift resulting in a filter that maintains consistent color from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops. Front Filter Threads accept Additional Filters and CapsUse Your Lens CapYou can use your lens’ original lens cap and if needed most manufactures’ lens hoods. The lightweight aluminum filter frame sports front filter threads so you can attach lens caps but more importantly another filter when additional density or other special effects are needed. Perfect Tool for Photographers and FilmmakersExpand Your Creative OptionsVariable Neutral density filters are a convenient tool for filmmakers and photographers because they reduce the need to carry many ND filters and they allow you to precisely control the amount of light passing through the lens by rotating the outer ring for greater creative control over exposure. For filmmakers, this means shutter speeds that match your frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of-field you want. For photographers, it means you can reach longer exposures or achieve a shallow depth-of-field in bright sunlight. Color Consistent Throughout the Density Range Depolarization All neutral density filters, straight and variable, “color shift”. Some are almost imperceptible while others are so bad they are nearly impossible to correct in post processing. Nearly all Variable ND filters color shift inconsistently throughout the density range, starting with a green/cyan shift at its brightest then shifting to magenta at its darkest for example. This creates increased post-processing time for photographers and a color grading nightmare for filmmakers. So the holy grail of variable ND filters is one that starts with a near imperceptible color shift at its brightest density then maintains color consistency throughout the entire density range. Meet “Depolarization”. A special patented layer baked into the optical formula of the Solas Variable NDX that accomplishes the near impossible and the result is a filter that maintains consistent color from 1.3-stops to 8.7-stops. Now filmmakers and photographers can tweak density as the light changes without fear of a color grading nightmare. 2-stop ND Comparison (Click image to zoom) 4.5-stop ND Comparison (Click image to zoom) 8-stop ND Comparison (Click image to zoom)The illustration above demonstrates the importance the Depolarization Layer plays in controlling color shift. Each image was shot with same camera and lens with the white balance set to “Daylight”. The Solas NDX ($329 retail) shows a slight blue cast but maintains consistency throughout the density range. A popular Japanese competitor ($189 retail) shows a slight yellow/green that shifts to just green as density is increased. While a popular Chinese competitor ($89 retail) starts of with a green shift then ends with a strong magenta shift at 8-stops. Japanese Engineering and Craftsmanship Superior Sharpness and No Flare The variable neutral density effect is created by employing two polarizing filters within one filter design. That is 2 pieces of glass and 2 layers of polarizing film creating 8 surfaces within the filter. As light passes through a low-quality filter it will bounce around those 8 layers within the filter degrading sharpness, contrast, and clarity. So using low quality glass, polarizing films, and little to no multi-coatings, like most low-cost competitors, will wreak havoc on your pictures. The Solas NDX uses the highest quality optical glass, super-thin optical grade polarizing films, and multiple layers of Hoya’s patented multi-coatings on each of the 4 sides of glass. The result is a sharp, glare-free filter that produces superior quality images you can trust. The resolution chart was shot using a 42 megapixel camera, a high resolution 100mm lens, and a wired shutter release. The aperture was set to f/5.6 and the shutter was set to 1/125th. The ISO was adjusted between 100 and 400 to match exposure based on the filters brightest density. Focus was checked and rechecked between exposures to ensure accuracy of the test.Some Facts about the Dreaded X Cross Polarization The dreaded “X” pattern that creeps into your images as you rotate the filter is inherent in all variable neutral density filters and cannot be avoided. The ”X” pattern is an inconsistent distribution of density across the frame where corners are either under or over-exposed. Lens focal length, sensor size, and optical design play key roles in determining when cross polarization becomes visible. Wider lenses will see the pattern occur earlier while longer focal lengths will take full advantage of the filters density range. In our real world test we have determined that a 28mm (Full-frame) lens is the widest focal length lens we can recommend you use with this filter. Wider focal lengths will work but have such a limited density range that is does not make practical sense to use it. We highly recommend shooters that use wider lenses use straight neutral density filters like the Solas IRND filters. Click Here to Learn More.
