The SF -3.5 spectral filter compensates for the colour shift in blue water from 7 metres of light path and reduces the brightness by 3.5 f-stops.

Features:
The Spectrum Filter SF -3.5 B is designed to compensate for the light absorption of blue water colours, providing a smooth, balanced light spectrum for your camera's sensor. This greatly improves the colour rendition of your images and matches colour values to daylight for excellent results with manual white balance.
.The Spectrum filter SF -3.5 B has a compensation depth of 7m. At this depth, the filter perfectly compensates for the light absorption of the water. The camera then sees a daylight spectrum, just like when shooting on the surface.
The filter is best suited for blue water in a depth range of 6 to 20 metres. The filter has a damping that corresponds to a loss of 3.5 stops. Typically, low noise cameras that allow shooting at ISO 1600 or higher are required when using this filter.
.IMPORTANT: If you have issues with low light levels, switch to a lighter filter such as the SF -1.5 (loss equals 1.5 stops). Using a lighter filter is always a better option than using no filter!
The filter can easily be cut to the desired size. The filter's support material is a thin plastic sheet.
Three pieces of filter foil in 60x60 mm format are supplied in an envelope.
&Uml;overview:
- There are three different filters. A lighter version with 2 f-stops loss and two variants with a light loss of 4 f-stops. .
- The -4 f-stop variant is available in two versions for blue and for green water.
- The filters are available for filter threads in sizes 58, 62, 67, 72, 77 and 82mm as well as for the Nauticam Wetlens WWL-1 .
