The Calumet ND4x/ND8x/ND16x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers line of filters will allow you to enhance the quality of your photographic work by giving you full control over exposure time and depth of field. With 28 multi-layer coatings, the filter not only provides unparalleled image quality, but also effective protection of your lens from accidental damage.

(Filter available in sizes 52 mm to 82 mm)

Control depth of field and exposure

The Calumet ND4x/ND8x/ND16x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers filter acts as a neutral aperture, reducing

the amount of light entering the camera. This, in turn, gives you a number of benefits:

  • Extendable shutter speed: get a blur of moving objects, such as the “silky water” effect when shooting waterfalls or sea waves.
  • Full control over the depth of field: ND filters allow you to fully open the aperture of the lens even in strong light and get photos with a shallow depth of field (blurred background) and a beautiful bokeh effect.
  • Shooting in difficult conditions: The ND filter can handle overexposure in bright scenes, such as when shooting in the snow or on a sunny day.

Discover new opportunities

The Calumet ND4x/ND8x/ND16x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers filter is the perfect tool for any photographer, regardless of skill level. It will be perfect for:

  • Architectural photography: the use of ND filters allows you to work with long exposure times, making moving objects such as people and cars invisible/fuzzy in the photo, so the architecture in the background is better exposed.
  • Portrait photography: use wide apertures to create a beautiful bokeh effect and expose the model against a blurred background.
  • Video production: use ND filters to maintain an appropriate shutter speed and wide aperture in bright light for a natural-looking motion picture and aesthetically pleasing depth of field.

ND filter with 28 multilayer coatings

Filters from the Calumet ND4x/ND8x/ND16x SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers line feature 28 multilayer coatings to ensure the highest quality without adversely affecting the optics used in the lens. The filters are durable, and thanks to the coatings used, keeping them clean is extremely easy.

  • Hydrophobic coating (makes water droplets do not settle on the surface and running off does not leave stains)
  • Oleophobic coating (Greasy marks are much harder to stick to the surface and easier to remove)
  • Scratch-resistant coating (Ensures long-lasting usability of the filter by protecting it from mechanical damage such as scratches and scrapes)
  • Anti-reflective coating (Eliminates unwanted reflections and glare)

Effect of ND filter power on aperture

ND 4 – reduction by 2 EV, exposure time 4 times longer

ND 8 – reduction by 3 EV, exposure time 8 times longer

ND 16 – reduction by 4 EV, exposure time 16 times longer

Japanese AGC Glass

You don’t have to worry about loss of image quality – the filter uses Japanese AGC glass, which has a neutral effect on color temperature and does not cause rippling. In addition, the use of 6H hardness glass makes the filter even more resistant to mechanical damage, guaranteeing long-lasting functionality.

Sleek Aircraft Aluminum Frame, tabs for easy unscrewing

The slim 3.3mm thick aerospace aluminum frame is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a solid protection for your lens. Equipped with tabs for easy unscrewing, the frame not only makes the filter easy to handle, but also adds elegance to the overall design.

Protective Box Included

Your filter deserves the best protection. The kit comes with a protective box that not only protects your filter from damage during storage, but also makes it easy to transport – perfect for active photographers.

Simple Operation, Great Effects

With simple installation and removal, our filter provides easy handling, allowing quick adaptation to changing photographic conditions. The tabs located on the holder make it much easier to mount/remove the filter on the lens. Attaching the filter is done by screwing it onto the lens – in order to select a filter of the right size, check the thread diameter of the lens on which it is to be attached (usually this information can be found on the lens or lens cap and is marked with a Φ sign, e.g. Φ52 mm).

Versatile Application

The double threading on Calumet filters opens the door to creativity by allowing two filters or accessories to be used simultaneously. It’s a practical solution for photography enthusiasts who want maximum flexibility in adapting their gear to different conditions and photographic needs.
