The Heliopan 107mm KR 1.5 Skylight Filteris a general use filter with a slight pink tint to help improve overall color accuracy and clarity. The light pink coloration helps to reduce the overall bluish cast of daylight and is especially effective when photographing landscapes and in shade. It is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

It is good not to need a step up ring and you can extend the built in Noctilux lens hood over the filter. However, same as BW filter, you can't use the Leica noctilux lens cap directly on it.

Q: 9. Hello! is the holder ring provided with this filter? I need to fit this filter on a 52mm thread lens

A: The Heliopan Series 8 Infrared RG 850 Filter listed above is designed for usage on lenses that have a Series 8 bayonet filter mount. We have no lens mount adapters that would be compatible to connect this filter onto a lens that uses 52mm filter threads. If you own a lens with 52mm filter threads, I would instead recommend the Heliopan 52mm RG 850 Infrared Filter, B&H # HEIR85052, for your usage needs.

Q: 10. What are the meaning of the numbers from 1 to 12 on the filter? Can I use it to adjust an exact ND stop like ND8 or ND16?

A: The 1-12 scale is a half-stop scale that allows you to more precisely set the filter to 0.3 (1-stop) through 1.8 (6 stop) increments, as well as halfway in between any of those stops. It is not exactly related to ND8 or ND16 stops as those would be 0.9 (3-stops) and 1.2 (4-stops), though you could use this 1-12 scale to set those at numbers 6 and 8.
