Description
This WonderPana 145 Core Unit from FotodioX is designed to specifically fit the FUJIFILM XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens, as well as a separately available WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket. Those items can be combined to allow for the convenient use of two 2.5 to 4.0mm thick filters measuring 6.6" wide or one 2.5 to 4.0mm thick filter measuring 6.6" wide along with one FotodioX 145mm round filter behind it. A compatible 145mm circular polarizer filter and a 145mm inner-pinch lens cap for 145mm FotodioX round filters are also provided. The included WonderPana 145 Core Unit consists of a compression front filter ring. Use of a WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket is easily accomplished by separately attaching its two assembly pieces to opposite sides of this WonderPana Core Unit using that holder bracket's six included brass short screws. Pretapped threaded inserts along the edge of this Core Unit accommodate those screws and ensure that the two assembly pieces are positioned parallel to each other and can hold a 6.6" wide filter between them. A combined WonderPana Core Unit and WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket can then be attached to a FUJIFILM XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens by tightening the Core Unit's locking mechanism. After being fitted onto a FUJIFILM XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens, the eight pretapped threaded inserts all around the edge of the WonderPana 145 Core Unit allow a WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket to be installed in 45 increments so that rectangular filters placed within it can be angled to the best approximate position relative to the subject in front of the camera. This helps to benefit the use of graduated neutral density and other filters that are enhanced by varied positioning. This FotodioX WonderPana 145 Core Unit features an aluminum alloy construction and includes front filter threads, which allow a FotodioX 145mm round filter to be used along with a separately available WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket. If a 145mm round filter is used on the attached WonderPana 145 Core Unit, the rectangular filter slot closest to the rear of the holder bracket becomes unavailable.None Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.None Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.None Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.None Strongest effect when used at a 90 angle from the sun.None Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.None 1.25 to 8x filter factor reduces exposure by 0.3 to 3 stops.None Constructed from optical glass for clarity.None Lightweight, aluminum-alloy filter rings along with four brass side knobs allow the filter glass to be easily rotated. The desired effect can be easily achieved even if another filter is placed directly in front.None Filter pouch included for storage and transport.
