F:X Pro Magnetic Round Filters Mark II with many improvements

Wider Filter Selection & New Matching Accessories

With the magnetic F:X Pro ND Filter Set Mark II, Rollei presents the completely revised magnetic circular filter set and simultaneously expands its range with accessories and additional filters. In addition to the revised version of the well-known ND filter set, filter photographers can now benefit from a magnetic Astroklar, UV, and two Soft GND filters in intensities GND8 and GND16. For maximum flexibility, a single base ring, smaller step-up rings, and front and end caps are now also available. Rollei also introduces a completely new effect filter, the Black Mist 1/4.

Norderstedt, 12.10.2022. Following the successful launch of the magnetic circular filter set, we are presenting the revised magnetic ND filter set with an even wider range of optional accessories. The F:X Pro Magnetic ND Filter Set Mark II consists of three ND filters with strengths ND8, ND64, and ND1000, as well as a circular polarizer (CPL filter). The set is completed with a base ring and front and end caps.

No more annoying screwing when doing circular filter photography – that is the stated goal of Rollei's magnetic circular filters. The magnetic mount has been redesigned so that separating the filters from each other and from the lens is now easier. The imprint of the respective filter type, which is now located on the outside of the filter ring, enables quick identification of the required filter. The magnetic base ring included in the set allows the circular filters to be conveniently attached to the lens. Since the filters are also magnetic among themselves, various combination possibilities arise without tedious screwing together of the circular filters. That's not all: The revised protective caps of the filter set (consisting of front and end caps) offer all-round protection during transport. And due to the revised magnetic concept, the end cap can now even be mounted on the set without the base ring – so the base ring can simply remain mounted on the lens for quick use, while the magnetic caps continue to protect the filters not currently in use.

Also new in the magnetic circular filter series are additional filters. These include, in addition to the four magnetic ND filters (ND2000, ND4000, ND32000, and ND64000), the new magnetic F:X Pro Magnetic UV Filter Mark II. It specifically blocks the ultraviolet portion of sunlight. In addition, with its image-neutral properties, the filter offers optimal protection for the camera lens used. The range is supplemented by the new F:X Pro Magnetic Astroklar Filter Mark II. Thanks to a special coating, this filter ensures that unwanted yellow and orange components of light are reduced in night shots.

For creative effects, the F:X Pro Magnetic Effect Filter Black Mist 1/4 Mark II is also available. When used, the black particles in the glass reduce contrast, making light sources appear softer and providing a soft focus for the skin – ideal for atmospheric photos and videos. Also available individually now: The graduated filter F:X Pro Magnetic Soft GND8 Filter Mark II or F:X Pro Magnetic Soft GND16 Filter Mark II, which, due to their nature, balance brightness differences in the subject.

The F:X Pro Magnetic Circular Filters Mark II offer full flexibility for quick circular filter changes without a lot of screwing. The prerequisite for this is that the magnetic base ring is screwed onto the lens, to which the filters are then attached. As mentioned at the beginning, it is already included in the ND set in the chosen thread size. However, it is also available separately in the 82 mm size. Should lenses with smaller diameters be used, Rollei offers magnetic step-up rings with diameters from 62 millimeters to 77 millimeters to the filter size 82 millimeters. In addition, the front and end caps can now also be purchased individually, which many customers had requested. If required, the magnetic front cap can also be placed on the mounted base ring and thus used as an independent lens cap.
