   The new Kolari Vision ND filters are fantastic! Well made, thin, with muticoating that is much better than any ND filters I have ordered from multiple other companies. Good service too.

   I tested a 67mm ND5 Pro ND on a wide angle zoom lens (17mm+) stacked on an IR-chrome filter. It comes in a nice and solid box that contains a dense foam that holds the filter in place. The construction of the filter is of very good quality, durable and with a metal frame that has indentations that makes it usable even with gloves. The filter itself is made of glass. Optically, even when stacked with a thick IR chrome, I’ve not noticed an important vignetting (when considering the native vignette of my lens) and there’s no color shift in particular on the edge of the image. The colors are rendered faithfully in NIR as well as in the visible spectrum (using the same lens on another unconverted body). Overall an excellent choice for long exposure photography in visible and near infrared !

   I am a professional photographer/cinematographer and I use ND filters for almost all of my work. After starting many years ago with other brands and running into major issues with color accuracy, vignetting, etc, I saw the filter offerings slowly improve each year or two. A new company would come along and offer a better performing filter, but I was never really satisfied with the performance or the durability.

   I finally started using the Kolari Vision filters they year they were introduced after buying literally hundreds of filters from other makers. I can say without a doubt that Kolari filters are THE BEST. Their color accuracy and clarity are unmatched by any other brand, which is impressive on its own. However, the thing that matters most to me is durability – the mechanical construction is important, but most crucial is the durability of the coatings. I am happy to say that Kolari filters are head and shoulders above the other brands on the market in both of these important metrics. Build quality is great and the coatings are almost bulletproof. I have used these filters daily for years and they still look like brand new. I bought a second set for one of our other cinematographers who is notoriously hard on equipment…after going through a set a year from other brands, he is on his 3rd year with the Kolari filters and they are still in excellent shape. You can’t go wrong with these and you won’t find a better filter on the market at any price.

   I just recently purchased a 7 stop Pro ND filter for shooting in broad daylight. It is a very well made glass filter and comes nicely packaged. I had initially ordered an 8 stop filter and later changed it to 7 stop. The customer service was excellent in wanting to take care of my needs and switched to 7 stop and shipped it quickly. The images coming out this filter is excellent, There is no color change or any fringing etc. I would be buying another filter to complement my 7 stop in the future. It is very well made quality glass through and through. Very happy with the product. Highly Recommended.
