OPF 480-L live action comparison
What is OPF480-L?
OPF (Optical Preset Filter) uses special glass to change the way light passes through, and advanced optical processing such as changes in color due to the coating on the glass surface. This is a new type of camera lens filter that achieves expressions that cannot be reproduced with digital processing by controlling changes due to the shooting environment.
The OPF 550-L emphasizes light wavelengths around 550 nm (nanometers), the OPF 650-L emphasizes light wavelengths around 650 nm, and the OPF 480-L to be released this time emphasizes light wavelengths around 480 nm. In addition, special glass diffuses light to blur the light source and suppress the overall contrast, while also suppressing sharp overexposure in highlights, enabling new expressions that cannot be reproduced with digital image processing.
Difference between OPF 480-L and 550-L/650-L
The OPF 480-L is a product based on the concept of creating a clear outdoor environment with a blue sky and a cinematic atmosphere at dusk.
In addition, since the OPF series controls the wavelength of light, the color produced changes depending on various factors such as the color of the subject, the color of the light in each season, and the angle of the light.
The above sample photo was taken under a blue summer sky with sunlight on the right side, so the overall color is clear. Since the appearance of the effect changes in various situations such as when the sun is low in the morning and evening, at night, indoors, etc., we will add those comparisons in the future, and please check the official account of TOKYO GRAPHER on SNS such as Instagram. I will introduce it.
Enlarged comparison
You can see that the resolution does not drop even if you enlarge and compare while suppressing the contrast according to the amount of light.
If you use an old lens to bring out your favorite colors and flares, you will not be able to use the autofocus, and the resolution will be reduced. Since it can also be used, it is highly effective for videos.
OPF is a combination of special glass that changes the way light passes through and a dielectric multilayer film with advanced coating processing. It is an optical product with no similar product in the world that can be enjoyed even with the most advanced autofocus lens.
This time, in order to show you the most obvious features, I compared them in backlit conditions, but they are also effective in direct light and when using a strobe to add a distinctive impression to your photos. Please search for hashtags on Instagram or Twitter to see various examples of people who actually use OPF.
