H&Y Unveiled the CPL Filter in Variable Step Adapter and Magnetic ND Clip-on Filters
H&Y Filters, the leading photography filter manufacturer based in Hong Kong, has announced the launch of a new variant CPL filter and Magnetic Clip-on ND in REVORING the variable adapter ring ecosystem. The REVORING CPL comes in 3 sizes: 46- 62mm, 58-77mm, 67-82mm; while the Magnetic Clip-on ND filter comes in 3 sizes same as above and 4 grades – ND4, 8, 16, 400 (2, 3, 4, 8.5 stops).
H&Y REVORING MRC CPL Filter is the first-ever filter product that can fit in lenses of different thread sizes. It is a desirable solution for prime lenses users who need to use abundant of adapter rings or filters of different sizes. It saves time of screwing in and out the traditional CPL filters and change it to another lens; it saves space of storing a series of adapter rings or filters. Quickly switching filters from lens to another is highly achievable with H&Y REVORING CPL Filter for both run-and-gun shooters and steady indoor videographers.
REVORING features unique self-retracting blade technology with threaded ends to secure on the front of your lenses. Each threaded end has been designed to overlap; therefore, any possibility of light leak has been completely removed. All REVORING products are made using Architectural grade Aluminium, keeping it lightweight and tough. The anodized finish also protects the ring from corrosion when shooting outside in unpredicted elements.
Magnetic caps in High-quality Aluminium and solid magnets for REVORING are available as a top-up option for steadfast protection of the glasses in the ring. Front cap is magnetic which means photographers and videographers can cover up their ring with a single hand, at the same time, the cap is securely mounted on. The back cap works the same when we twist the ring to mount it on a lens.
The German Schott B270® glass is used in making the Polariser filter. It includes Anti-Reflective coatings, which virtually eliminate all flare and reflections from the front and rear surfaces. This helps visible light to pass through the glass by removing unwanted reflections, giving the user the best possible light transmission (up to 97%), optimizing images for the sharpest possible outcome. Whether shooting at 16mm or 400mm, the glass and coatings used in our system produce sharp images, even at light reductions of up 10 stops. MRC means Multi-Resistant Coating. The accelerated inert-gas ions condense the deposited material as very solid layers, to make the glass dust and moisture resistant.
H&Y Magnetic Clip-on Filter is compatible to REVORING with VND & CPL, REVORING with Black Mist Filter, REVORING with CPL, and other REVORING Variant, as long as there is a non-detachable filter on REVORING. For VND&CPL, a clip-on can be used for cross-polarization solution or extension of the original 1-10stop ND range. For CPL, a sole ND8.5 can be used to achieve the dreamy long exposure effect. For Black Mist Filter, 2/3/4 stop ND can be used as a range of fixed ND filters as an aid to videography. H&Y aims to provide highly flexible choices for photographers’ hybrid use.
The operation of H&Y ND Magnetic Clip-on filter requires just one simple snap. The strong Magnetic force will engage the filter and the REVORING together solidly, making the installation extremely quick for any type of shooting.
The Magnetic Clip-on filter was developed with the sole purpose to solve the cross-polarization problem that happened on traditional variable ND filters. Cross Polarisation is a physical phenomenon of all VND filters when paired up with a wide-angle lens. It makes an obvious “X-pattern” darken on the image. The wider the lens is, the earlier the “X-pattern” starts to appear.
To solve this problem, wide-angle lens users may now use the H&Y magnetic clip-on ND together with the H&Y Revoring VND filters to achieve the higher ND stop with no X-pattern seen. For instance, to use a 16mm lens with 10-stop ND, users can turn the ND level to 1.5 stop (on the Revoring VND filter) and use an extra 8.5 stop (Clip-on ND) to achieve a 10-stop long exposure effect.
The H&Y Revoring is available for between $184 and $259 depending on the selected size, the new circular polarizer is available for between $129 and $139, and the variable neutral density filter is available for between $184 and $259.
