This is a really nice solution if you never plan to buy an RF lens. I tried the white rectangle of the color card but lost all detail. The light reduction is even across the visible spectrum (or it should be). And thats still a great option. My guess is that the drop-in filters would be less degrading, as the lenses are designed to be used with such filters in place. Technically, I suppose that's true, but as a practical matter, I suspect extremely few can actually perceive a visible difference in their images. The filters are also clearly labeled and color-coded. The Kolari system avoids the push-button latch on the filters in favor of an extremely-well-finished friction fit. Photography Audio & Video Studio & Lighting Bags & Cases Tripods Film & Darkroom . Shooting a scene with potential for some minor moir? Powering the EOS R5: Review of the LP-e6NH & Other Nikon Z7 II Tested for Best SD Card Choice. While there is a bit of darkening, IMHO its not that obtrusive and I could have lightened it to match the no-filter shot perfectly. The images also show that the Kolari filter shows the best vignetting performance, with the Breakthrough filter showing a little bit of inconsistency across the frame at the maximum setting, and the Meike filter quite uncontrolled when set to 10 stops of filtering. 0:15 . On top of that, we have new removable filters from Breakthrough Photography. Is something in your photo distracting the viewer? But is it quite ready for prime time yet? In a pair of video updates Pentax shares a glimpses of its hopes and plans for future film cameras. Also you can use multiple grads at different angles for even more fun Grads aren't pointless. This would be so much better if adaptors werent a transient product. The pictures at right and left show the relative color cast and flare at about 6 stops of darkening. At right, the Meike filter had a couple stops of highlight room to spare. The downsides of the Meike are two-fold: 1) as you turn the filter wheel to make it darker, the darkening accelerates at a faster and faster pace, making large light reductions somewhat imprecise to adjust. It doesnt slip out of my hands when my hands are normal (i.e. Think about it, RF lens don't require an adaptor, so there is no way such a filter could be used, save for the post above by JMN13. Do exactly that. City Tours. either, with all sorts of "classical" fringing and stuff.Don't get me wrong, ancient lenses can be fun to use. Much better actually.

Urth Circular Polarizing (CPL) Lens Filter (Plus+) Urth US . In fact I was surprised they updated 24 and 28mm at the same time but did not touch 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8.I sold 85mm f1.8 but keeping the 100mm f2.0. Precisely controlled by an oversized adjustment wheel, the Drop-In CPL is easy to fine-tune for the perfect shot. The 35F2IS was the only essential prime lens update really. Eric - Good. Not something you can bracket. Compatible with hundreds of EF Lenses by Canon, Zeiss, Tamron, Sigma and many more. Use the strong AA filter. These adapted lenses were designed before the adapter was a gleam in the engineer's eye yes and no, in situation like if I want to use a ND filter so I can use the slow shutter speed to capture water falls and thing like that, it "increase" the over all quality of my picture. I would LOVE variable/drop in ND's for my RF glass rather then dealing with magnetic or screw on ND filters. I find some of their other stuff outside of NDs pretty overpriced FWIW Roger's articles on LensRentals' Blog shows there's not a lot of difference at all between various CPLs for instance, yet BP's price for those would have you think otherwise. The amount of light stopped at maximum filtering is quite something to behold. Just for reference, the darker shot shown below is the Meike filter used at maximum darkness with the same camera exposure settings, which shows the stark difference in VND maximum power. That's a BOLD claim if you ask me. and If I put in a Night sky filter there for my Milky way shot, it also makes a pretty big improvement. If I were to use native RF lenses, are there similar drop-in filters? San Francisco-based Breakthrough Photography has announced the first third-party drop-in filters for Canon's EF-RF drop-in filter mount. Aliex Folgueira . I think this is more efficient than buying various sized ND filters for lenses of different sizes. I would even suggest they come up with just a rear filter adapter for existing EF on DSLR , LOL, I will get one myself for sure. 100mm also has a lot less CA than EF 85mm f1.8 and AF is slightly better with Metabones. This is a significant upgrade from the Meike, and features better fit than even the Canon adapter. It reminds me of old TV sets, when after decades of use the volume dial would do nothing from 0-3 and then would be full blast by 4. Extra space from mirrorbox removal can be used for drop in filters. What do you think most amateurs would think of George Lepp, a Canon Ambassador for about 30 year, putting the 1.4x AND 2x on his telephoto for his published pro work? The Breakthrough Photography polarizer (we tested the X4 CPL model) is at least as well-built as the Canon original. Uhmm, I'm not a photography pro to any degree, but shouldn't a polarizer block at minimum 50% of the light? Where is the drawback? There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. With less light reaching the imaging sensor, a longer exposure or a wider aperture can be used. trungtan - some of the advantages of RF mount (short flange distance and faster lens-body communication) would be lost if Canon produced an EF mount MILC. To get the equivalent system, Canons versions would cost a total of $770. The aperture was set at f/2.8. And integrating a filter in the otherwise wasted space is a good idea. Sure, you could go old-school and break out the Clone Stamp, but new tools and features, including AI-assisted technologies, give you more options for removing unwanted elements in far less time. The next test was taking the black, grey, and white dropper on the levels and curves tool in Capture NX-D using the same points in a filter and no filter shot, and then finally I processed each of the photos to look about the same to my eye and noticed any difference. You would really really want to love using adaptors to really invest into this. K&F Concept Filter Processing Technology. This means that, in theory, the Meike adapter is a bit of a compromise whether you are using the empty or full filter holder, as the optimal adapter length will be off by 1mm one way or the other. The latest Leica Q camera ups the megapixels but retains Leica's legendary colors. It came with the case which is a major positiveIve had filters ordered online from some retailers come paced in a cardboard box. Known for creating iconic sports photos with high school athletes, Brad Deel talks about his famous flaming tennis ball shot. The flare can best be described as dominating, with a blue/green cast present more in the middle of the frame, all partly overcome with the massively magenta flaring. Canon has announced the RF 28mm F2.8 STM, a $300 pancake prime lens for its RF system. Thanks! PolarPro Peter Mckinnon 2/5 VND Filter 82mm - Edition 2. Ive wanted a good 10-stop ND filter for a while now for ultimate water creaming. The best bang-for-buck is the $150 package that includes the adapter, a VND filter and the blank filter. If latching a filter in the Kolari adapter feels like closing a luxury car door, then latching the button mechanisms on the other filters is more like closing a refrigerator vegetable drawer. The Canon EF to EOS R lens mount adapter with drop-in filter. Nikon's recent 400mm F4.5 lens for its Z mirrorless system is an appealing new option. Main menu. Overall, I fell the filter is a good performer and worth it if you really want that high of an ND filter. We could detect no difference in autofocus speed between the two adapters. I purchased it through B&H awhile back but have not had much time to put it into a practical test. They rank right at the top for filter color rendition, filter performance and quality construction. For the shots with the filter, I used a shutter speed of 30 seconds. We have not yet had the opportunity to test the Canon variable neutral density filter, but intend to add that information in at a later time. You mostly wouldnt notice a difference if the sun werent in the shot. Breakthrough Photography X2 VND Drop-In Filter, Color coded to make filters quickly identifiable, EF to RF drop-in filter mount adapters that attach to Canon EOS R series mirrorless camera bodies, PLto RF drop-in filter mount adapters that attach to RF mounts on cameras.

That would set us back just under $300 in total. As filter holders, neither appear to be weather-sealed adequately. One really nice thing about the Meike adapter is that the version we purchased came not just with a neutral density filter, but also an empty filter holder that can be placed in the opening when you wish to simply adapt a lens and not have an optical effect on the image. Breakthrough Photography just released the Cinema DFM, a PL-mount drop-in filter system compatible with the RED DSMC1 and DSMC2 lines as well as the RED KOMODO and V-RAPTOR cameras. Nearly a year after I ended up purchasing this ND filter, I finally have the time and energy to go about reviewing it and putting it through its paces. Sony is a cheapish lens because its optics are not that good. Before we tried out the Kolari, we thought wed recommend the Meike, mostly because of price. Don't *all* filters degrade the image? But, now the new RF85F2 IS Macro is coming, which is going to be the new king of the 85-100 focal range. Cool concept.

They also make brass step up/down rings which are sometimes a pain to find (Sensei seems to makes them in random sizes only, tho with ridges like BP's, and Heliopan charges an arm and a leg but do make them in most sizes tho not always ribbed, meh) @Impulses Unfortunately the bitter aftertaste hangs around a long time. Im not going to disagree but this means two sets of filters will be needed, one for native and one for the adapted lenses. The X2 and X4 Clear also serve the purpose of protecting the camera sensor from dust and debris when a filter isnt needed. Breakthrough Photography claims that its 4x-series ND filters are the most color neutral filters in the world. Id like to emphasize that I am not claiming this is scientific, even though Ive tried to eliminate as many variables as I could. Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. This is the worst case scenario, shooting into the sun, causing with the additional flaring effects. @ASRBriggs: I think that's totally fair, not enough people vote with their wallet when it comes to bad service.

I'd rather have the external hole covered by a no-glass drop-in ring and be done. We had a few days to test it out click through to watch our initial thoughts. If Canon had made a new 50F1.4 and a 20mm (whatever F-stop, F2.8, F3.5, F2) instead of the 24/28/40 and 50F1.8STM, that would improve the situation a lot.I like the 100F2 too. PolarPro Peter Mckinnon 6/9 VND Filter 82mm - Edition 2. If you don't need a filter, then an empty space would be preferable from a theory standpoint, as there is no glass to degrade the image, even a little bit. I assume both at once isn't happening. This filter eliminates unwanted glare and so much more. If they can fit a fan in one of these filters, they have a best seller. The Canon Drop-In CPL features an impressive average light transmission of 40.59%, which outperforms every filter manufacturer, except for the X2 and X4 CPL. To trigger the camera, I had it to trigger via the IR receiver on the camera, with a 2 second delay. Unlock the ethereal world outside of the visible spectrum with the Drop-In IR 720 filter designed for full-spectrum and IR converted cameras. Polarizers are used for cutting reflections/glare on things (like windows, water, etc). But after reading a few reviews and looking at sample photos, my skepticism subsided. I love this drop in filter idea on the adapter. Cmon Canon, build some EF mount mirrorless cameras.Pull the mirror and OVF and stick in an EVF. Choose from a variety of Essential and Complete kits that bundle NDs, VNDs, CPLs and more. I am glad they are now available in a such easy set up. X4 CPL average light transmission is 47.18%, while the X2 CPL has an average of43.86% which moderately outperforms the Canon Drop-In CPL. + Interior Blackout - near zero specular reflectance, + Autofocus, Image Stabilization and EXIF, + Compatible with Drop-In filters - from Canon and Breakthrough Filters, + Weather-Sealed - Dust and water-resistant construction with rubber gaskets around the filter and rear mount, + Detachable Tripod Foot - 1/4"-20 for mounting plates such as Arca Plates, + PL lens to Canon RF Compatability - mount your PL lenses to RF mounts on cameras such as R, R5, R6, and RED Komodo, + Detachable Tripod Foot - 1/4"-20 for mounting plates.

In terms of color cast, the X4 CPL 'moderately outperforms' the Canon filter. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class. However, if the camera is focusing through a 10 or 16 stop ND filter, this quickly won't work because it gets too dark. Too bad this won't work for a graduated ND. However, I trust the accuracy of the D750s shutter keeping the exposure to 30 seconds exactly than I would I keeping it to, say, exactly 2 minutes. Exposure bracketing is a much better solution really. You make a good point, I hadn't considered that. Putting a clear glass filter in the image train after the lens is pointless. 10 Nearly a year after I ended up purchasing this ND filter, I finally have the time and energy to go about reviewing it and putting it through its paces. Since the EF-EOS R drop-in filter mount adapter first launched, users have been limited to Canon's own circular polarizing (CPL) filter or variable neutral density (ND) filter. Each drop-in filter features a rugged dust and water resistant design. Before delving into specific available filters, let's consider the difference between Breakthrough's X2 and X4 filters. Now a solid ND filter ,depending on the strength, might cut down 50% (or more or less) of light. Each drop-in filter is color coded to make filters quickly identifiable.Breakthrough drop-in filters feature the sharpest, most neutral glass and all-metal frame. If the glass is cheap and up to standard with Canon then Canon lens should be as cheap as the clear glass protecting it. Surely it's just a matter of degree? I remember seeing some excellent images of a steam train passing by that used a grad (I wish I could find the link). Made from SCHOTT Superwhite B270 optical glass with MRC and nanotec coatings, the Breakthrough Drop-In VND accurately reduces light transmission to the optimal percentage.With a rugged dust and water resistant design, a rubberized grip makes the filter easy to insert and remove from the adapter.

Lost opportunity for Canon, plenty of EF users that don't want to use adapters. Why on earth would a company spend money to develop a product where OEM existed? Videos for related products. The build quality is excellent. TSE 17 and 11-24. In addition to solid ND filters in 3, 6, 10, 15 and 20 stop strengths, Breakthrough's new drop-in filter line includes a pair of variable ND filters. According to Breakthrough Photography, the X4 CPL 'moderately outperforms' the Canon drop-in CPL filter, whereas the X2 CPL has 'slightly less' light transmission than the Canon filter. If only you could use this filter system on the rf lenses (all of them). The VND-R is the first Variable ND to feature 2 to 11-stops in one filter - without the "X Pattern" . No, use google to learn why. I dont ever plan on using it on my 200-500 otherwise I would have gone to 95mm (which Breakthrough makes). However, when shooting into the sun admittedly an extreme test the Meike filter showed much more flare, and this flare caused quite a rainbow of color effects. "Which lenses are designed for them? Prospective customers can preorder individual filters and filter kits now through Breakthrough Photography's website. No new 85F1.8 or 100F2, no new 50F1.4, no 20mm, no new 28F1.8. It's worth noting that all Breakthrough Photography filters include a free 25-year 'Ironclad Guarantee'. Seems rather pointless Eric - Not as pointless as your approach to these comment sections. Each drop-in filter is color coded to make filters quickly identifiable. Nikon has announced the new Z DX 24mm F1.7, a prime lens for its APS-C mirrorless camera system that delivers a field of view equivalent to 36mm on full-frame. All were shot with my D750, with the 20 f/1.8G lens, and processed the same for posting online. It will act as a wide-angle for full-frame cameras or as 45mm equivalent normal lens on APS-C bodies. I enjoy my creamy-dreamy old EF 28F1.8 USM in certain photography genres. The R100 is Canon's smallest and lightest EOS R camera, aimed at entry level users to bring those seeking hybrid functions into the RF lens mount. I used a USB-C IR blaster on my phone along with the ZaZaRemote app to do the triggering since it can simulate an ML-L3 remote. It is still good. Let's delve into the details and find out. Note, they claim they can do custom install of Schott glass in their housing, so you can get ND etc. The fast-developing field of machine learning promises to take over the tedious tasks of culling and editing photos so you can be behind the shutter button where you belong. So yeah, they exist, but they're certainly a niche product. The new Fujifilm X-S20 may have an older sensor, but it's a capable stills camera nevertheless. The picture at left shows it maximally open, and the one at the right shows the filter set for maximum filtering. Never heard of "Breakthrough" before, I don't think they are marketed in the UK, but this looks to be a pretty complete set of filters.
