Description
This WonderPana FreeArc Core Unit from FotodioX is designed to specifically fit the Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G 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 UV filter and a 145mm inner-pinch lens cap for 145mm FotodioX round filters are also provided. The included WonderPana FreeArc Core Unit consists of two components, a front filter holder and a rear lens collar. Placement of this FreeArc Core Unit onto a Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G 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. To use the WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket with the FreeArc Core Unit for a Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G lens, pretapped threaded inserts along the edge of the front filter holder accommodate the six included brass short screws for correct positioning of the WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket's two assembly pieces so that they are placed parallel to each other and can hold a 6.6" wide filter between them. Once the holder bracket and the front filter holder are combined, and the separate collar has been slid over the rear of a Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G lens, the front filter holder with the attached holder bracket can be screwed onto the installed rear lens collar. After being fitted onto a Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G lens, the bearing design of this WonderPana FreeArc Core Unit allows a WonderPana 6.6" Holder Bracket to be rotated 360 . This permits the use of graduated neutral density and other filters that are enhanced by varied positioning. The 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 included brass long screws. 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 FreeArc 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 FreeArc Core Unit, the rectangular filter slot closest to the rear of the holder bracket becomes unavailable.None Absorbs UV light and reduces bluish cast of daylightNone Does not require adjustments to exposure while in useNone Creates no additional coloration or contrastNone General protection filter reduces dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching lens elementsNone Constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelityNone Lightweight, aluminum-alloy filter ring with brass knob that provides increased leverage for easy installation and removalNone Filter pouch included for storage and transport
