Kolari Unveils Magnetic Clip-In Filter for RF Mount
Announced on the last September, Kolari Vision has today announced the preorder for a set of clip-in magnetic filters for native RF mount lenses. Mounted inside the camera body, between the sensor and behind the lens, is possible to add rear filtering to RF lenses, or two layers of filtering when paired with the R filter adapter.
With the R Magnetic Clip-In Filter photographers can quickly change the effective spectrum of a full spectrum camera. For example, the infrared clip-in filter can change a normal camera into an infrared camera without either fully converting the sensor itself or purchasing several differently-sized lens filters for a set of optics.
“Our wide selection of NDs, IR filters, and our UV/IR Cut filters are capable of turning your Canon EOS RP, R, R5, and R6 into a versatile multi-spectral machine without having to purchase multiple lens filters for each of your lenses,” Kolari says. “Eventually, we plan to offer fine-tuned filters for different shooting scenarios, such as anti-aliasing filters, night sky filters, underwater filters, low light filters, and other filters you would use if you were shooting video systems like the RED camera.”
Kolari R Clip-In Filters are the only such filters on the market that attach via magnetic force, which the company says makes for an easy and hassle-free installation and removal of filters while also making it more likely you’ll keep the sensor out of harm’s way. Another benefit with clip-ins, you don’t need to buy filters for all of the different lens diameters you own.
All these clip-in filters are also compatible with Kolari’s line of EOS R Drop-In filters that utilize the Canon EF to RF Drop-In Filter Adapter.
Kolari currently offers 18 different filters that fit into the magnetic clip-in system: 590nm Infrared, 665nm Infrared, 720nm Infrared, 850nm Infrared, UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Pro 2, UV/IR Cut Filter, and a Clear Filter (full spectrum). The company also has a huge array of ND in one through eight stops in one-stop increments followed by 10, 15, and 20 stop variants.
All of the filters are coated with the company’s “anti-reflective and anti-smudge properties” that it says makes the filters much easier to clean while also can reduce stray reflections and artifacts that occur when shooting in bright, sunny light.
Kolari Vision’s clip-in filters are available to pre-order now for $130, versions are available to fit either the Canon EOS RP or the Canon EOS R/R5/R6.
