Description
This WonderPana 145 Core Unit from FotodioX is designed to specifically fit the Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 (ZE and ZF.2) 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. Compatible 145mm solid neutral density 1.2 and 1.5 filters are also provided, plus a 145mm inner-pinch lens cap for 145mm FotodioX round filters. The included WonderPana 145 Core Unit consists of two components, a front filter holder and a rear lens collar. Placement of this 145 Core Unit onto a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 (ZE and ZF.2) lens is easily accomplished by sliding the rear lens collar over the rear of the lens until it has achieved a secure fit. Afterward, the front filter holder can be screwed onto the front of the installed rear lens collar. So that a WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket can be used with this 145 Core Unit for a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 (ZE and ZF.2) lens, pretapped threaded inserts along the edge of the front filter holder accommodate that holder bracket's six included brass short screws. These screws ensure that a WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket's two assembly pieces are positioned parallel to each other and can hold a 6.6" wide filter between them. Once that holder bracket and the front filter holder are combined, and the separate collar has been slid over the rear of a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 (ZE and ZF.2) lens, the front filter holder with the attached holder bracket can be screwed onto the installed rear lens collar.After being fitted onto a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 (ZE and ZF.2) 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. A FotodioX WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket provides two pairs of filter slots, a configuration that accommodates two compatible rectangular filters. For each rectangular filter that is placed within one of the holder bracket's slots, its position can be secured using the brass long screws that are also included with the holder bracket. Pretapped threaded inserts along the outside of the holder bracket allow the long screws to each apply pressure to a spring-loaded retainer within each filter slot. When a pair of the long screws is used, the level of grip upon a rectangular filter can be varied, which can complement the use of graduated filters whose effect can be adjusted to better suit changing lighting conditions or creative demands by sliding them up or down within a filter slot. This FotodioX WonderPana 145 Core Unit includes front filter threads, which allow a FotodioX 145mm round filter to be used along with a 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 1.2 optical density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.None Providing a 4-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.None Filter does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters.None Includes multiple layers of anti-reflection coating to prevent internal ghosting and reflections.None Constructed optical glass for clarity and color fidelity.None 145mm front filter threads allow for use with other filters.None Durable, lightweight aluminum-alloy filter ring with one brass side knob allows the filter t
