This 52mm Ice Solid ND Filter Kit 52mm for Photographycontains three filters that can be used individually or in various combinations to darken the entire image, allowing photographs to be made with a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture than normally required. Using a slower shutter speed makes it possible to increase blur to convey a sense of movement. Increased density also makes it possible to shoot using wider lens apertures, helping to isolate a subject from the background. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This kit consists of three 52mm solid neutral density filters that reduce the amount of light entering a lens by three, six, and ten stops, respectively. Each filter is constructed from multicoated optical glass for clarity and color fidelity. They are each mounted within a slim, aluminum-alloy filter ring which helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight.

A nylon filter pouch is included to store and transport this filter kit. It features three padded, nonabrasive pockets plus a touch-tab fastened closure.

Q: 5. How well will this work with a near-IR film like Ilford SFX?

A: The Ice 52mm HB760 Infrared Filter blocks UV / Visible Light under 760nm. This will not work with Ilford SFX 200 Black and White Negative Film that only has sensitivity up to 740nm. Near IR film does not have the sensitivity to work with this filter.
