The FH100M3 Professional Landscape Kit is put together exclusively here to cater for professional landscape photography. It includes the Benro FH100 markIII Filter Holder kit, the FB100M2 Filter and Filter Holder Case, seven filters (which includes a CPL), an additional four filter frames to the two included with the Filter Holder kit, and two stepdown rings. The Benro FH100 mkIII Filter Holder Kit is designed for fast and easy use with up to three filters plus one polariser. Sixteen magnets in the rotating ring of the holder holds the polariser filter firmly in place as well as permit fast removal of it. In addition, the polariser filter can be operated from either the rear or the side while the other filters are placed in front. Benro recommends using the 82mm or 95mm Benro CPL filters. The red rotary knob can be used to position gradient filters quickly and accurately, and each gradient filter can be moved separately. Owing to the more outward placement of the guides on the Benro FH100M3, it is possible to capture stills with an extremely wide angle without vignetting, with the maximum wide angle dependent on the construction of the lens. The holder itself is easy attached by automatically clicking onto the lens ring. A blue rotary knob provide the means to fix or release the holder. When loosened, the holder can be removed efficiently by pulling the spring-loaded slide backwards. The filter holder is supplied with two frames for filters of two different sizes: one for a 100x100x2 mm filter (FR1010) and one for a 100x150x2 mm filter (FR1050). A lens ring filter with 77mm thread and another one with 82mm thread are also supplied. The Case for 100mm Filters and Holder from Benro is a filter bag designed for use with 100mm square filters. It offers space for up to 4 100mm square filters, 3 round filters, and your 100mm filter holder.
Mesh pockets offer space for additional small accessories, and there is a dedicated space for your SD cards inside a small inner pouch. The Benro Hard Grad 0.6 ND filter is a 100x150mm 2 stop graduated neutral density filter with a hard transition from being transparent on one end to being light-stopping on the other. This makes it a good choice when working with a horizon line or scenes where there is a hard transition between sky and foreground. This Benro Soft Grad 0.9 ND WMC filter is a 100x150mm 3 stop graduated neutral density filter which smoothly transitions from being transparent on one end to being light-stopping on the other. This evenly stops the light entering your lens to gradually decrease the brightness of sky, or to decrease the contrast between the sky and ground. The Benro Reverse 0.9 ND filter is a 100x150mm 3 stop reverse graduated neutral density filter with a gradient that fades in two directions. The top of the filter smoothly increases in intensity to provide 3 stops in the middle of the filter. From the middle down the filter fades to clear.This is ideal for photographing sunsets or sunrises, where you may find yourself shooting towards the sun as it sits near the horizon. The ND16 WMC 100x100mm Filter from Benro is a 4 stop neutral density long exposure filter, the ND64 WMC 100x100mm Filter from Benro is a 6 stop neutral density long exposure filter, and the ND1000 WMC 100x100mm Filter from Benro is a 10 stop neutral density long exposure filter. They are designed to reduce all different wavelengths of light for an even 4 stop, 6 stop and 10 stop, respectively, reduction in light. This allows your shutter speed to be slowed significantly, which is particularly useful when photographing water and tides, or when a dramatic effect is desired. The MAMCPL95 95mm CPL from Benro is a magnetic circular polariser filter dedicated for use with the filter holders with a magnetic ring. Unlike standard CPL filters, this 95mm CPL does not have screw thread or a rotating front element, and the rotation is achieved by a mechanism on the holder. Without the rotating front element, the CPL is much easier to attach and remove compared to the previous system where the CPL had a front rotating element.
The CPLs ultra thin design, which is constructed from ultra-thin Schott B270 glass and thin ring, reduces the occurence of vignetting at extreme wide angle. In addition, flat polished HD glass minimises refraction of light, thus minimising loss of resolution. Flare and chromatic aberration is reduced by the application of a 16-layer ULCA coating while polarised light is reduced by Japanese polarisation. The scratch resistant glass also receives a WMC coating to render the filter water and oil repellent for easier cleaner. The FR1010 100x100mm Filter Frame and FR1050 100x150mm Filter Frame from Benro are spare or replacement, designed for use with their separately available FH100 Series Filter Holder. It allows you to slide your filters in to the slots in your filter holder by inserting the filter frames into their corresponding slots. To install your filter filter inside the frame, just press the circular column inside the round hole of the latch segment and pull out of the latch to change the filter. Two filter frames of each size are included in this landscape kit, in addition to the two filter frames already included in the filter holder kit. The Benro 82-72mm step down ring is designed for use with the Benro FH100 filter holder. In combination with a separately available 82mm adapter ring it will allow you to attach your filter holder to lenses with a 72mm diameter screw thread mount. The Benro 82-67mm step down ring is designed for use with the Benro FH100 filter holder. In combination with a separately available 82mm adapter ring it will allow you to attach your filter holder to lenses with a 67mm diameter screw thread mount.
