Into the Elements

Extreme cold. Harsh reflections. Constant exposure changes. We tested our new Full Spectrum ND filters in the Arctic, where consistency has nowhere to hide. What led us there was a much bigger journey, one shaped by filter development and the acquisition of Element Filters.

Full Spectrum Light Control. Unrivaled Consistency.

True. Every. Stop.

We built our Full Spectrum ND filters for filmmakers who need consistency they can trust. Neutral color, reliable transmission, and dependable results across strengths, all backed by real-world testing.

FAQs

What’s the difference between Full Spectrum ND filters (FSND’s), Infrared ND filters (IRND’s), and Hot-Mirror IRND filters?
FSND filters stand out for their ability to reduce not only visible light, but also infrared and ultraviolet light according to the filter’s strength (number of stops), ensuring excellent color accuracy and neutrality. Traditional IRND filters focus on eliminating only visible and infrared light, which helps reduce IR pollution, but they do not address UV light spectrums. Hot-mirror IRNDs provide complete infrared light blocking regardless of stops, but require precise placement in a matte box (coated side facing the lens) and can’t be stacked without risking internal reflections or ghosting. They are also traditionally prone to more color shift than FSND filters.
What’s the difference between Normal ND filters and Full Spectrum ND filters (FSND’s)?
A FSND filter is ideal for digital sensor cameras, which have greater low-light sensitivity than film and, subsequently, an increased susceptibility to infrared (IR) contamination. When using a standard ND filter to counter the increased light sensitivity afforded by the digital sensor, the effects of IR pollution become more apparent. This can often show up in the darker or black areas of your image, resulting in muddiness or a magenta colored shift occurring in your shot. FSND filters reduce the amount of IR and UV light that hit's your cameras sensor, eliminating this issue in bright high IR/UV light pollution scenarios.
