This 86mm digital camera with manual exposure capabilitiesis an ND filter with a 16x filter factor that provides a 4-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.2 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times. To provide a high level of neutrality across the visible and infrared spectrums in order to eliminate color casts and ensure cleaner, truer blacks, each glass surface includes one layer of ACCU-ND Vapor Deposition coating.

This Tokina 86mm PRO IRND 1.2 Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring.

Q: 1. I have an old Gossen Digital Luna Pro. Great meter over-all. The only problem-The white incident/reflective sliding dome over time does not stay locked in place. I know other people who have experienced the same problem...Does anyone knowif this problem has been resolved on the new Gossen Sixtomat F2 Light Meter? Pete 8/9/2015

A: I've just bought the Gossen Sixtomat F2 and have had it just over a month. As far as I can see there is no problem with regards to not staying locked although who knows what might eventuate over time. The reason I bought the Gossen is because of its reputation and it is a very good piece of equipment to help the photographer.

Q: 2. would this timer work with a besseler 23c III enlarger?

A: The Kaiser Electronic Exposure Timer is compatible with the Beseler 23CIII enlarger.

Q: 3. "Can it toggle back and forth between a shutter speed/aperture reading (let’s say, f/8 @ 1/60) and then to its EV equivalent (say, EV 12) (and then back to f/8 @ 1/60) or does changing the mode erase the existing reading?"

A: Yes you can

Q: 4. Do the filters have kneeling for ease of attachment?

A: The filters in the NiSi 82mm Circular Long Exposure Filter Kit BH #NIRCLEKIT82 do have knurling on the sides of the filter to help with attachment and removal of the filters yes.

Q: 5. rather than pay extra for the 15stop filter couldn't I combine the 10stop with the 6-stop polarizer in the cheaper Circular kit?

A: Combining multiple ND filters will result in vignetting at wide angle focal lengths whereas a single filter with 15 stop filter will ensure you don't get vignette.

Q: 6. How does the Sixtomat F2 perform in low light environments?

A: It will read any ambient lighting condition and give you a time exposure reading

Q: 7. Can you tell me the difference between the Sixtomat F2 and the Digipro F2?

A: The, Sixtomat F2 is 118 mm x 65 mm x 19 mm / 4.65 x 2.56 x 0.75 inch and the Gossen DigiPro F2 Flash and Ambient Light Meter v2 is 150 mm x 65 mm x 19 mm 5.91 x 2.56 x 0.75 inch. The Sixtomat F2 is 95 g / 0.21 lbs without battery and the Digipro is 100 g / 0.22 lbs without battery. Other wise the are about the same.

Q: 8. is there a provision for wireless connection to flashes ?

A: This meter can read strobe lights without connecting them directly with a PC cord with its noncord function but the meter can not wirelessly trigger flashes. If you need the meter to trigger the lights you will need to connect a sync cable to the side of the meter via the PC connection.
