Tokina AT-X 175 PRO FX
Designed for Full-Frame cameras, the Tokina AT-X 17-35mm F/4 gives photographers a new wide-angle option. With a focal length of 17mm at the wide side the lens yields a spectacular 103.9 degree field of view which is great for shooting in tight situations or for taking in wide expanses of space. This compact wide-angle zoom has a bright constant F/4 aperture make viewing and auto focus possible in lower light situations but still maintaining a reasonable size and weight. Two Super-Low Dispersion glass elements and one aspheric glass allow the proprietary optical design to achieve excellent contrast and sharpness as well as controlling chromatic aberration.

KENKO VARIABLE-NDX
The Kenko Vari-NDX filter is a variable neutral density that has a filter factor range of 2.5-1,000, or a light loss of 1.3 â€“ 10 stops. Kenko created this filter by taking two pieces of the highest quality polarizing and mounting them in opposition to each other. When the filter ring is turned from min to max the filter darkens until it is nearly opaque. This has the effect of a neutral density filter that can change from a 1.3 stop light loss to a 10-stop light loss. This type of neutral density filter is very valuable for controlling exposure, slowing down shutter speeds for creative blurring effects. This allows for shutter speeds as low as several seconds to be set in full sun conditions. It also allows for using very wide aperture settings like f/1.4 or f/1.8 for a very shallow depth of field in bright sunny conditions.

HOYA PRO1 Digital ND64
THK Photo Product, Inc announces the new HOYA PRO1 Digital ND64 Neutral Density filter. The ND64 is a dark neutral density filter with a filter factor of 64, meaning there is 6-stop light loss. This is a great filter for slowing down shutter speeds to capture motion. An example: In daylight, maybe the slowest shutter speed possible without a filter could be 1/60 sec at F/22 By adding the HOYA PRO1 ND64, a shutter speed of 1 full second would be possible. Another use of the ND64 would be controlling depth of field. With these strong ND filters, a much wider aperture can be used. Wide apertures like F/1.4 and F1.8 create a very shallow depth of field and have the effect of isolating the subject from the background. Creative possibilities are endless with this type of filter.
