Haida recently sent over one of their 10 Stop Red-Diamond ND 100x100mm Filters (3. 0/1000x Density) for us to review alongside their M10 Filter Holder System. Neutral Density filters are particularly useful for photographers specializing in architectural, landscape, and travel photography, especially when shooting long exposures during daylight hours.
ND filters helps to prevent your images from being totally blown out when shooting long exposures in brightly lit shooting conditions. They essentially serve as sunglasses for your cameras, helping to cut down on the amount of light that reaches your camera sensor. The Red-Diamond series is Haida's latest generation of ND filters constructed from K9 optical borosilicate crown glass. An improvement on their existing NanoPro ND filter series, the Haida Red-Diamond ND filters feature larger rounded corners and are said to be shock proof. Like the NanoPro ND filters, the Red-Diamond filters are coated on both sides with a nano-coatings that waterproofs the filters while eliminating color casts. Additionally, the nano-coatings help to minimize reflections and scratches. When it comes to ND filters, they generally come in two varieties: circular ones that you can screw onto your lens's filter thread or square and rectangular ones that you use with slot in filter holders. The benefit of a square/rectangular filter over a screw on one is that you can adapt a single filter easily across many different lenses instead of being limited by the filter threads of each lens. . thephoblographer.com
