This 15-stop, 86mm Kolari Vision Pro IRND Filter 86mm 15-Stopis optically engineered to be the most neutral filter in the visible light spectrum and beyond into the infrared range. This filter delivers neutral darkening in every wavelength, at every angle, and it is suitable for use in creating long-exposure photographic effects. Ultrawide angle tested and approved for excellent vignetting and color cast performance. Built with premium ultrathin, ultra-strong Corning Gorilla Glass, this filter is more than two times stronger than Schott B270 glass to direct impacts, and more resistant to scratches for better long-term durability. The slim-brass frame features knurling that helps with your grip, making it easier to attach and remove the filter.

This filter is designed specifically for photography applications. This filter is not suitable for direct solar viewing with the naked eye, including with optical viewfinders.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can anyone explain the dot markings to stops on this filter?

A: I had this same question and decided to run some tests (using my Nikon D810). I did this inside with the lighting (more or less) constant. I ran three sets of tests: 1) in manual mode with auto ISO, I noted the ISO without the filter and with the filter positioned at each of the ten different dot makings; 2) In manual mode (and constant ISO) I set the aperture to zero out the meter without the filter and at each of the dot markings; and 3) In aperture priority mode, I noted the shutter speed without the filter and at each of the dot markings. The results varied somewhat depending on the test. Reported below is the average of the three methods. The first dot corresponded to 1.0 stops, second dot to 1.1 stops, third dot to 1.4 stops, fourth dot to 1.8 stops, fifth dot to 2.2 stops, sixth dot to 2.5 stops, seventh dot to 2.8 stops, eighth dot to 3.2 stops, ninth dot to 3.7 stops, and tenth dot to 4.1 stops. So, as others have said, the dots are just a guide.

Q: 2. Regarding the Heliopan 52mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter (705240), does anyone know if this filter will work with the larger Canon lenses (300mm f2.8, 400mm DO ...) that have rear mount drop-in filter holders. The issue is that 52mm screw in filters fit in the filter holder but when sliding the filter holder into the slot in the lens it does not fit because the filter is too thick. Is this particular filter slim enough to work with the above lenses? Please help.

A: Unfortunately this type of filter is built to be used on the outside of the lens, and is too thick to work inside a drop-in filter slot. Most circular polarizers, with their moving parts, will be too thick to use.

Q: 3. Or maybe I should also ask. The main pieces I want to carry are a Canon R with the 24-105 attached and a Canon 70-200. Would those fit? It looks like there would be enough room but I notice that says it can handle up to a 70mm attached and that made me wonder. Again thank you much.

A: Your gear will fit in this bag with the 24-105mm attached or body alone but not with the 70-200 attached.

Q: 4. Will this also work for the lite chaser 15 pro max case?

A: Yes, the PolarPro VND 3-5 Filter for iPhone 15 Series LiteChaser Pro 15 Cases, B&H # POIP15VND35, is compatible with the PolarPro LiteChaser Pro 15 series cases which covers both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Q: 5. Would these work on a camera that has been converted for infrared? Mine passes visible light above 590 nm and near infrared light. I do not want to block infrared light any more than visible light.

A: You would need to ask the company that did the IR conversion specifically but Kolari Vision (for example) makes their own IR ND filter so these filters should be fine too.

Q: 6. Will this fit on the iPhone 16 Pro as well?

A: The Moment CineBloom Snap-On Filter iPhone 15 Pro & 15 Pro Max (10% Diffusion), B&H # MOCBFI15P20, is only compatible with iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Moment cases. For the iPhone 16 Pro Max, you would need to get the Moment CineBloom QuickLock Diffusion Filter for iPhone 15/16 Pro/Pro Max (10%), B&H # MO107131.

Q: 7. How wide of a bottle can fit in the side pocket? I usually carry a 28oz Gatorade in the summer.

A: Think Tank Photo Vision 15 Shoulder Bag has a adjustable side pocket. The largest diameter it will hold is 3.58 inches.

Q: 8. Can you confirm if the Vision 15 can be used on an airline as either a personal item or carry on luggage?

A: Yes, you can carry on this bag, whether personal or otherwise.

Q: 9. Will a Lee 150mm ND filter fit properly in an NiSi filter holder?

A: yes, it will fit nicely.

Q: 10. Will this filter accept an 82mm Canon lens cap?

A: The filter doesn't have any front threads so the lens cap would most likely fall off.
