Manfrotto's newest Gear... From Newbie to Pro
132Blunty's adventures in Melbourne at "The Digital show" brought him to the Manfrotto stand where they made a "world premiere" announcement for a brand new product line...
A new range of Lens filters, Japanese made, and in a variety to take care of the newbies all the way to working profesionals
Manfrotto filters will be available in up to 13 sizes -- from 37mm to 82mm. The three ranges are:
PROFESSIONAL - The ultra-thin Professional filter range's multi-coated glass is anti-static, water repellent, scratch/oil resistant and anti-reflective. The filters also feature black-rimmed glass and multiple light-blocking ridges that minimise light refraction.
There are two types:
- Protector filters' ultra clear and 12 layered multi-coated glass allows for a high light transmission rate of 99.3 percent. Designed to provide ultimate protection for camera lenses from accidental scratches and impact.
- Circular-polarising (Circ-Pol) filters with a high light-transmission polariser of 90 percent and 12 layers of coating help colour rendition and shadow intensity by enhancing contrast levels.
ADVANCED - The ultra-thin Advanced range's multi-coated glass is water repellent, scratch/oil resistant and anti-reflective. The filters also feature black-rimmed glass to minimise light refraction.
Available in two types:
- UV filters minimise excessive haziness caused by UV light. With light transmission levels of 98.8 percent and a 12-layer anti-reflection coating, these filters also function as a durable lens protector.
- Circular-polarising (Circ-Pol) filters with 12 layers of coating provide superior colour and contrast enhancement for superb image rendition.
OUTDOOR - The super-thin Outdoor multi-coated glass filters are water repellent and anti-reflective coatings (on UV filters only).
They are available in two types:
- UV filters minimise excessive haziness caused by ultraviolet (UV) light. With high light transmission levels of 99.0 percent and a 8-layer anti-reflection coating, these filters also function as lens protectors.
- Circular-polarising (Circ-Pol) filters with two layers of coating provide superior colour and contrast enhancement.
