"Much of my scenic shooting is done at elevations above 5,000 feet, where the soft warming effect of the Hi-Lux helps offset the coolness of the light. It also makes a nice difference in open shade and flash-fill portraits. I've decided to use the Hi-Lux for all my work."
If you use a plain glass UV filter on your lens to protect its front element from scratches, here's good news. The new Hi-Lux Filter from Singh-Ray will not only serve the same protective purpose but it will also provide superior optical performance.
Singh-Ray's unique filtration formula for the new Hi-Lux filter combines front lens element protection along with a slight warming effect--to enhance flesh tones--plus certain special characteristics that assure the best possible color quality, contrast and edge separation under various lighting conditions--outdoors, indoors, and flash. The filter's warming effect is slightly less than that of an 81-A filter.
The visible effects of the Hi-Lux are quite subtle but important for critical work. Improvements are quite often seen in flesh tones--particularly when using electronic fill flash. The Hi-Lux is specifically designed to maintain peak acuity and chromatic clarity for both film and digital images.
Singh-Ray offers the Hi-Lux filter in standard filter-ring sizes from 52 to 77mm. It's also available in sizes to fit the Cokin "P" and Lee filter holders. Each Singh-Ray Hi-Lux Filter is shipped in a protective leather filter case with an optical-cloth liner.
