Polarpro ND128 filter

Unlock complete creative control over your camera in bright and challenging lighting conditions with the PolarPro ND128 Neutral Density Filter. Expertly engineered for photographers and videographers who demand uncompromising quality, this professional-grade filter is your essential tool for manipulating light and achieving stunning visual effects directly in-camera.

The primary function of the ND128 filter is to reduce the amount of light entering your lens by a precise 7 stops. This significant light reduction empowers you to overcome the limitations of harsh daylight, opening up a world of creative possibilities that would otherwise be impossible. For landscape photographers, this means transforming bright, midday scenes into ethereal masterpieces. Slow your shutter speed down to capture the silky smooth motion of waterfalls, create dreamlike, streaking clouds across the sky, or render bustling cityscapes with mesmerizing light trails from moving vehicles. The ND128 allows you to convey a sense of time and movement in a single, powerful frame.

For portrait and lifestyle photographers, this filter is a game-changer. It enables you to shoot with a very wide aperture, such as f/1.4 or f/1.8, even in direct sunlight. This allows you to achieve an incredibly shallow depth of field, beautifully isolating your subject from the background with soft, pleasing bokeh, without the risk of overexposing your image. Maintain your desired aesthetic and creative intent regardless of the ambient brightness.

Videographers and cinematographers will find the ND128 filter to be an indispensable part of their kit. To achieve a natural, cinematic motion blur, professionals adhere to the 180-degree shutter rule, which dictates that the shutter speed should be double the frame rate . In bright outdoor environments, maintaining this shutter speed would typically require stopping the aperture down significantly, resulting in a deep, flat-looking depth of field. The ND128 filter solves this problem by cutting 7 stops of light, allowing you to maintain the cinematic shutter speed while using a wider aperture for a more controlled and aesthetically pleasing depth of field. Your footage will retain that smooth, professional quality sought after in high-end productions.

Built to meet the exacting standards of the world´s top creators, this filter showcases a range of premium features designed for peak performance and durability.
