LightCraft Workshop ND
fader Mark II
This high quality
ND fader from
Light Craft
Workshop is
invaluable for
shooting bright
sunny days when long exposures would
result in blown-out skies. This ND filter
allows you to adjust the range from ND4 (2
stops) to ND400 (9 stops), though the range
will be less with wide-angle lenses. This is
explained in the information on our website
or on the leaflet supplied with the filter.
Adjusting the density of the filter is simple –
just twist the outer ring and you will see the
density increase or decrease as you turn it,
allowing you full control. The frame on the
LightCraft Workshop ND filters is incredibly
thin so vignetting is not an issue.

Hama Vario ND2-400
Useful for blurring backgrounds, smooth
water surfaces and rich blue skies, this
variable neutral density filter from Hama
allows you to adjust
the range from ND2
(1 stop) to ND400
(just under 9 stops).
The filter is made
from high quality
lens glass, coated on
each side to minimise
reflections and increase picture quality. The
front lens, which is slightly larger than the
rear lens to avoid vignetting, rotates to alter
the density of the filter. We include a free
lens cap at the right size.

UV protection
PROTECT AND ENHANCE
Primarily designed to provide protection
from rain and grime, a UV filter will also
give you sharper,
clearer images. UV
rays often make
photos appear pale
and grey. You will
see better colour
contrast by filtering
UV rays and associated grey haze. It is
effective for colour images as well as black-
and-white.
This UV filter from Hama is multi-coated
with four layers of coating and this helps
minimise flare when the lens is pointed
towards a bright light source.

Stepping rings
MAKE ONE SIZE FIT ALL YOUR LENSES
Don’t incur unnecessary expense buying
various size filters for each lens you own.
A stepping ring allows you to step a bigger
filter size down to fit your smaller lens filter
mount. The first measurement should be
your lens thread, the second measurement
your accessory size.
Various size combinations 52mm-82mm
REF: R591 £5.99 each
Fi lters
Use lens filters for various
improvements in your
images. A UV filter offers
better clarity; a polariser
will elimate reflections
and enhance contrast;
an ND filter allows you
to extend exposure time.
And for creativity there
are some new diffusion,
star and graduated filters
to experiment with, ideal
if you prefer to create the
effects in-camera.
Neutral density
You can shoot images like this dreamy
seascape simply by adding a neutral
density filter to the front of your lens.
Whether you want to slow water
movement, blur the background for macro
shots or simply avoid overexposure, this
small lightweight accessory will provide
you with the ideal creative tool. It’s also
invaluable when shooting movies on your
EOS camera in order to control exposure
and give smoother transitions between
different light levels.
Other sizes?
We stock sizes to fit most Canon lenses.
Not all of the filters here are available
in the full range of sizes. If you need a
different size for a non-Canon lens give
us a call.

Circular infrared filter
CAPTURE THE WORLD IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT
If you have been mesmerised by the ghostly images in the ‘Hand-coloured’ article in
the July-September 2013 issue or captivated by David Clapp’s ‘Infrared Masterclass’ 12
months earlier, then this is an affordable way for you to start experimenting with infrared
photography. This R70 circular infrared filter from UK-based SRB-Griturn only allows
infrared rays above 720nm to pass through, offering a unique perspective on the world.
Check that your camera is infrared-
sensitive by holding down a button on your
TV remote and taking a photo of the end with
the bulb. If you can see the infrared signal
lamp in the photo you have captured infrared
radiation with your camera and you can start
experimenting with this filter and infrared
photography.

Diffuser spot filter
ISOLATE YOUR SUBJECT
A creative filter suitable for some portrait
and product shots, this diffuser spot filter
from Hama has a clear centre and uneven
textured surface around the outside. Your
centred subject will remain clear and sharp
whilst distracting or cluttered backgrounds
will be significantly softened and blurred.

Diffusion filter
ROMANTIC SOFT FOCUS EFFECT
The fine concentric lines etched onto the
surface of this Hama filter help to create a
flattering soft focus effect in your portrait
images, whilst still retaining sharpness
on your overall image. The end result is
dreamy and rather romantic-looking. It’s
especially suited to outdoor portraiture
where harsh shadows can be a problem.
The advantage of creating this soft focus
effect with a filter rather than with post-
processing software is that you can see the
results in-camera.

Star effect filter
MAKE LIGHTS AT NIGHT TWINKLE
Another creative effect filter from Hama
which offers dazzling images is this start
effect filter, available in 6x cross and 8x
cross. Especially designed for shooting at
night when there are direct light sources
such as street lights and car headlights, the
light will refract across the finely etched
lines on the filter’s surface and transform
points of light into star shapes with either
six or eight rays emanating from the light
source. The filter can also be effective on a
setting sun.

Circular polariser
ELIMINATE GLARE AND REFLECTIONS
Have you ever wondered how some photographers manage to get such saturated colours
in their images? It’s down to the effective use of a polarising filter. This cuts through some
of the reflected light to show you the true
colours. A polariser is the one filter which
will help every EOS user to improve and
enhance their images.
An invaluable filter for your kit bag,
a circular polariser will help eliminate
unwanted reflections on shiny surfaces
such as glass and water and will increase
colour saturation and contrast.
Made by SRB Griturn in the UK this
affordable range of polarising filters are
multi-coated and made from optical glass,

shortly after with a polariser filter attached.

A true 9-stop multi-coated neutral density
filter, with ultra-thin non-vignetting filter
frame. It employs advanced anti-reflection
coatings for excellent flare resistance,
particularly important in bright sunlight.
This filter from LightCraft Workshop is
high quality and produces far less of a
colour contrast than a variable ND filter
will give at the higher end of the range.

Graduated grey
DARK & MOODY SKIES
We often spot this effect used for outside
shots on programmes like Top Gear.
This graduated grey filter from Hama
allows you to darken part of your image,
particularly skies, an effect not easily
recreated with software. The filter has a
small lever on the side which operates the
rotary mount so that the graduated area
of the filter can be aligned perfectly within
your shot.

ENHANCED SKIES AT DUSK & DAWN
Half red, half clear, this Hama creative
filter has a rotating mount so that you can
position the graduated red area accurately
within your landscape. It enhances the
colours of dusk and dawn to add extra
impact and atmosphere. Often the
perceived colours of the sky cannot be
captured on camera, so this filter enables
you to deepen the reds of your sky whilst
leaving the foreground untouched.
