PolarPro QuartzLine ND100K (16 Stop) Filter 82mm

PolarPro QuartzLine ND100K (16 Stop) Filter 82mm – 16-stop neutral density for precise exposure control

The PolarPro QuartzLine ND100K (16 Stop) Filter in 82mm size offers filmmakers and photographers precise control over exposure in bright conditions and for long-exposure work. Made from high-purity materials and built for field use, this filter helps you manage light without compromising image clarity or color accuracy.

Engineered optics and durability

PolarPro constructs the QuartzLine ND filters from 99.9% pure fused quartz to deliver clear, sharp images with true-to-life color. The optical material keeps color shifts to a minimum and preserves image detail when you reduce incoming light by 16 stops.

Additionally, PolarPro applies advanced multi-coating to each filter. This coating reduces reflections, flares, and ghosting so you can shoot in challenging lighting and maintain consistent image quality.

Built for professional use in the field

The QuartzLine ND100K combines tough mechanical design with protective surface finishes. The frame uses aerospace-grade brass and a knurled design for secure handling and simple attachment or removal. A scratch-resistant coating helps protect the optics from everyday wear and tear.

Moreover, hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repel water, oil, and fingerprints. Consequently, the filter stays cleaner longer and requires less maintenance when you work in rugged environments.

Key features and benefits

FAQ

Question: Is this filter suitable for both filmmakers and photographers?
Answer: Yes. The QuartzLine ND100K is designed for filmmakers and photographers who need precise light control, whether for cinematic shutter speeds in bright conditions or for long-exposure photography.

Question: What does the ND100K (16 Stop) designation mean for my shooting options?
Answer: The ND100K (16 Stop) designation indicates a very strong neutral density reduction that significantly limits incoming light. Use it when you need to achieve long exposures or maintain cinematic motion blur in very bright environments.

Question: How does the filter handle reflections, water, and fingerprints?
Answer: PolarPro applies multi-coatings to reduce reflections, flares, and ghosting. In addition, hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repel water and oil, and they make the filter easier to clean and maintain in the field.

Question: What is included in the package and how does it protect the filter?
Answer: The package includes one filter, a custom protective case, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The case protects the filter during transport and storage, while the cloth helps keep the optic clean without risking scratches.

Question: What materials are used in the frame and glass?
Answer: The optical element is made from 99.9% pure fused quartz. The frame is constructed from aerospace-grade brass with a knurled design to aid secure handling and easy attachment or removal.
