Irix Edge Variable Neutral Density filters

We are expanding our filter product line by introducing the new range of Irix Edge Ultra Slim Variable Neutral Density - VariND Filters. These new filters are available in both traditional screw-in filters as well as in our MMS series (Magnetic Mount System). The MMS series is designed especially for our Irix Cine lenses.

Both versions are one of the thinnest filters of its kind on the market and therefore avoid a lot of vignetting. The MMS magnetic version, for example, is 51% thinner than most similar filters. This means it is less than three-quarters stacked on top of each other.

What are VariND or Variable Neutral Filters

Variable ND filters are constructed using two polarizing filters. By rotating them, they cut off light. This allows the filters to be lighter. Instead of carrying multiple ND filters, you can use just one filter and adjust it according to the situation you need to work in.

Many filters on the market allow almost full closure of the variable ND. With infinite rotation, they can go almost black. In theory, this is a feature, but in real life, it becomes very problematic. 

Due to the construction of variable ND filters, the more you close them, the more "artifacts" will be added to the image, as well as a loss of sharpness and color. That’s why we have designed the Irix Edge VariND filters to work with a range of 2-5 stops – to keep color rendition and sharpness unchanged.

The Irix Edge 2-5 Variable ND filters are available in two versions.

An Ultra-thin traditional screw-in series with an ultra thin frame, available in the most popular sizes: 67, 72, 77, 82, 86, 95mm. 

And an MMS Magnetic version. These filters have a strong magnetic mount that is compatible with the Irix Cine lenses. This will allow you to quickly and easily change filters while filming and thus save valuable time on set.
