Kolari Pro ND Filter - The World's BEST ND Filter.
Unlock unparalleled darkening, clarity and durability with the Kolari Pro ND Filter – where precision meets perfection in every shot.
Description
Crafted with precision, our Kolari Pro ND Filter is engineered to deliver unparalleled neutrality across the visible light spectrum and even into the infrared range. Experience the most neutral darkening yet, ensuring exceptional image quality at every angle.
Tested and approved for ultra-wide angle lenses, this filter minimizes vignetting and maintains color accuracy for stunning results in every shot.
The World’s Sharpest And Toughest ND Filter!
Built to withstand the rigors of professional photography, the Kolari Pro ND Filter features premium ultra-thin Corning Gorilla Glass. With over two times the strength of conventional glass, Gorilla Glass offers superior protection against impacts while maintaining exceptional optical clarity.
Enhanced scratch resistance ensures long-term durability, while a high internal transmission and lower refractive index provide sharper images with no distortion.
Premium Coatings
Our commitment to quality extends to the coatings applied to the glass surface. Water, oil, anti-reflective, and scratch-resistant coatings protect the glass and reduce unwanted reflections, resulting in images with unparalleled clarity and contrast.

What Is An ND Filter?
An ND filter, or Neutral Density filter, is a type of camera filter that reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens without affecting the color or hue of the image. It’s essentially like putting sunglasses on your camera. ND filters come in different strengths, measured in stops, to block varying amounts of light. They are commonly used in photography and cinematography to achieve effects like blurring motion in bright light, allowing for wider apertures in daylight, or balancing exposure between the sky and the foreground in landscape photography.
How do I choose the right ND filter strength for my photography/videography?
The right ND filter depends on your shooting conditions and creative goals:
1-3 Stops (ND2-ND8) → Light control for shallow depth of field in bright conditions (portraits, general photography).
6-10 Stops (ND64-ND1000) → Long exposure for waterfalls, landscapes, or removing people from a scene.
15+ Stops (ND32000+) → Extreme long exposures (5-10 minutes or more), daytime motion blur, etc.
In video, ND filters help maintain the 180-degree shutter rule, which means keeping shutter speed at double the frame rate (e.g., 1/50s for 24fps video). Without an ND filter, bright light can force higher shutter speeds, making motion look unnatural.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ND (Neutral Density) Filter?
An ND filter, or Neutral Density filter, is a type of camera filter that reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens without affecting the color or hue of the image. It’s essentially like putting sunglasses on your camera. ND filters come in different strengths, measured in stops, to block varying amounts of light. They are commonly used in photography and cinematography to achieve effects like blurring motion in bright light, allowing for wider apertures in daylight, or balancing exposure between the sky and the foreground in landscape photography.
What do the numbers on ND filters mean?
ND filters are labeled with numerical values that indicate how much light they block. These numbers can be expressed in ND value (ND2, ND4, ND8, etc.), stop reduction (1-stop, 2-stop, 3-stop, etc.), or optical density (OD 0.3, OD 0.6, OD 0.9, etc.). Each system represents a different way of measuring light reduction, but they all correspond to the same level of exposure control.
How do ND filters affect shutter speed and exposure?
ND filters reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor, allowing for slower shutter speeds, wider apertures, or lower ISO settings without overexposing an image. This is useful for achieving motion blur in water, clouds, or people in long exposure photography, and for keeping a cinematic look in video by maintaining a proper shutter speed.
Can this filter be stacked with other lens filters?
Yes, this filter has full brass front and rear threading for smooth attachment and stacking. Our ND filter is compatible with all standard lens filters as well as our Infrared lens filters.
Can the Kolari Pro ND Filter Really Be Used For Both IR And Regular Photos
Yes! This filter is engineered to be used for visible light photography with no vignetting or color tinting. It also has the most effective IR neutral darkening we’ve produced to date, making it the ideal ND for Infrared long exposures and video work.
What is refractive index and why does it matter?
The refractive index is dependent on the material, and is a measurement of the amount that that material will refract or “bend” light as it passes through. At 90 degrees or dead center of the filter the light does not deflect and continues straight, but as the angle of incidence towards the edge of the filter increases, it deflects light more and more causing a discrepancy across your frame, particularly with wide angle shooting. The higher the refractive index value, the more image quality can suffer.
Will the Kolari Pro ND Filter be compatible with my lens hood?
Due to the knurled edges, our Kolari Pro ND Filter may not be compatible with all lens hoods. We suggest determining the inner diameter of the lens hood at the location of the filter thread. If this diameter exceeds the thread size of the lens filter to be utilized (with an extra allowance of approximately 10mm for the filter ring), it should accommodate the filter properly.
Does this filter come with a warranty?
At Kolari, we build our filters to last and have complete confidence in their performance. You will too with our 10-year warranty against defects. If you find something wrong with your filter, at any time, write us at contact@kolarivision.com and get your filter replaced under our warranty.
