With these Aurora Aperture Filters, you’ll never need to mess around with screw-in filters again.
Filters are fantastic. They enable us to produce images that would otherwise be near impossible to create. But as great as they are, they can also be a royal pain. Often, we find ourselves needing multiple copies of the same filters with different thread sizes for the various lenses in our collection. This can lead to camera bags being stuffed to the gills with dozens of accessories. Fortunately, Aurora Aperture has been hard at work creating filters for those who use specific Mirrorless mount modifiers that simply slot into the adapter. Join us after the break to see this unique product, and to find out how you can get your hands on the Aurora Aperture Filters.
The AMF (Adapter Mount Filters) designed by Aurora Aperture Filters have recently hit Kickstarter. The campaign is off to a flying start with $27,950 (at the time of writing) being pledged on a goal of just $16,000. The filters are simple: instead of screwing onto the front of your lens, they simply sit at the back of the mount adapter on your Mirrorless camera.
The filters will be compatible with the Canon EF-ROS R adapter, the Nikon FTZ adapter, the Sigma MC-11 (Canon EF to Sony E Adapter), and the Sigma MC-21 (Canon EF to L Mount adapter). Those four mount adapters should cover quite a few photographers. The filters that are available for all four of the mount adapters are a basic sensor protector, ND filters with light reduction capabilities of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 stops, graduated ND in three strengths (1.5 stops, 2.5 stops and 3.5 stops), and a light pollution reduction (LPR) filter.
The filters feature Multilayer Nano-Coatings and are made from German Schott Superwhite B270 glass, except the Power Dusk filter which is neodymium based. The frames are made from 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, which means they should be quite durable.
There are different levels of pledges that can be made to get in on the Aurora Aperture Filters. If you pledge $44 you’ll get one filter, $86 will get you two, $126 will score you three filters, $164 will get you four filters, and so on. The biggest package on offer costs $372, and that will net you all 11 filters. If you’d like more information about the Aurora Aperture filters head on over to their Kickstarter page.
