The Irix Edge brand already comprises a wide range of photographic filters consisting of gray, gradual and C-PL filters in different variations (screwed on, 100mm square and gel).
But now the brand has extended its range with a new filter type: the Irix Edge Light Pollution.
Available in sizes 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm and 95mm, benefits of using the filter include more accurate colours, improved contrast, and improved overall sharpness and clarity.
Irix Edge Super Endurance (SE) series
The Irix Edge Light Pollution is the first filter of the Super Endurance (SE) series. The optical glass has been subjected to a special thermal treatment to increase durability.
In addition, both surfaces of the filter have been covered by coatings that further increase the overall strength of the entire filter surface.
Control the colors at night
The yellow dominant light that can be seen in the picture during the night is caused by the use of sodium lamps for urban street lighting.
The Irix Edge Light Pollution filter removes the yellowish haze emitted by sodium lamps.

Nano coating
The Irix Edge Light Pollution filter has been developed based on the highest quality optical glass, which guarantees high light transmission.
Multilayer anti-reflective coatings have been applied on both surfaces of the filter to minimize the risk of unwanted reflections.
The filter also has a NANO coating with hydro- and oil-repellent characteristics, so that dirt doesn't adhere to its surface, maintaining the filter's purity.
Its frame is made of lightweight and durable aluminium. Its surface has been covered with a black coating with a special finish that minimizes the risk of flare, while being resistant to damage and scratches.
Each Irix Edge filter is sold in an aesthetic and functional case that provides protection both during storage and transportation.
The filters will be available soon through a wide network of worldwide distributors. Recommended retail prices are:
Irix Edge Light Pollution (SE) 67mm – €95
