Kase Armour Magnetic Circular Filter ND1000

An ND1000 filter reduces the amount of light entering your lens by 10 stops. This allows you to use slower shutter speeds in bright conditions, ideal for creating motion blur effects with water, clouds, or moving subjects.

Yes, this is a magnetic filter and requires a compatible Kase magnetic adapter ring to attach to your lens. The adapter must be purchased separately or included in a kit.

The magnetic system is significantly faster to attach and detach, making it more convenient for quick changes in the field. It also ensures precise alignment.

Yes, Kase magnetic filters are designed to be stacked, allowing you to combine different types (e.g., ND and CPL) for greater creative control.

The filter is made from toughened glass with a scratch-resistant coating, offering good durability. However, it is not entirely immune to scratches, so careful handling is still advised.

Kase filters, including the Armour series, are known for their optical purity and minimal color cast, ensuring neutral color reproduction.

The anti-reflective coating reduces lens flare and ghosting caused by light reflecting off the filter's surfaces, leading to cleaner and sharper images, especially when shooting towards light sources.

Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is clean and free of debris. Verify that the filter is properly aligned with the adapter's magnetic edges.

Confirm the filter is clean and free from smudges or damage. Ensure you are using a genuine Kase filter and adapter; third-party components may not be perfectly compatible.

This can occur if the magnetic adapter ring is too thick. Try a slimmer profile Kase magnetic adapter if available for your lens size, or use a slightly longer focal length.

Minor surface scratches may have minimal impact on image quality, especially if central. However, significant scratches can affect sharpness and introduce flare. Handle with care to prevent future damage.
