Neutral Density

In order for photographs to achieve the desired final appearance, sometimes more than just a basic stock-issued lens is required.

The selection of neutral density camera filters for minimizing lens flare, controlling flash output and eliminating images that are overly bright or washed out are available at Focus Camera for use with many brands of camera.

A neutral density filter can give a photographer more control over his or her pictures in all kinds of different conditions. If you need to reduce the amount of light that passes through the lens without also altering the scene's color, the Tiffen 62mm Neutral Density ND 0.6 Filter controls the color and density of lens accessories with more accuracy than many camera filters, darkening the overall image and allowing you to take pictures with wider apertures and longer shutter speeds than are normally required. The color neutral B&W 58mm Digital Pro 4x Neutral Density Multi-Coated Glass Filter can reduce the light by two f-stops. Hoya Neutral Density Multi-Coated Lens Filters balance exposures, help photographers to have more control over the depth of field and can be used with either black and white or color photography.

The selection of Cokin Gradual Neutral Grey Filters can enhance the relief of colors and surfaces, feather the grey almost from the color edge and more gently graduate to clear, and compensate the average bright sky to foreground settings. The Fader 67mm Variable HD ND Filter is made specifically to work with high-definition video photography, allowing the use of a large aperture when conditions are especially bright and creates a slower shutter speed when the sun is really bright.

Focus Camera, which has been family-owned for more than 50 years, provides free same-day shipping on many of these Canon neutral density filters and the 72mm ND filter kit.
