avision Enterprises Ltd. is a privately held corporation, incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Cavision was founded in January 1993. Cavision designs and manufactures a wide variety of accessories for professional cameras, including wide angle attachment lenses for TV cameras, directors viewfinders, 3x3" & 4x4" matte boxes, glass and resin filters, and carbon fiber boom poles.
Cavision filters are made in the following sizes:
| |
Protection Filters |
 |
Cavision Clear Protection
Glass Filter The Cavision 94mm Clear Protection
Glass Filter helps protect your lens from dust,
scratches, dirt, moisture, fingerprints and more. Your
equipment is important and deserves to be protected. It
doesn't take much to damage an expensive element. A
protection filter can save you the aggravation of having to
replace or repair your valuable investment. |
| |
Polarizing Filters |
 |
Cavision Linear Polarizing
Glass Filter. Light rays which are reflected
become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select
which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove
unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as
water or glass and also saturate colors providing better
contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and
changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies
according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation
to the sun. |

Neutral Density Filters |
 |
Cavision Neutral Density
(ND) Filter The Cavision 5.65 x 5.65" Neutral
Density (ND) 1.2 Filter has several uses and offers the
possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. It
enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting
color balance. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount
of light reaching the film. Determining which neutral
density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting
situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of
such filters. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6)
effectively compensates average situations. |
|
|
Cavision Neutral Density
(ND) 1.5 Filter. Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main
Uses To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially
with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such
as waterfalls, clouds, or cars To decrease depth of field
by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate
subjects from their background To decrease the effective
ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be
used outdoors in bright situations To allow cine and video
cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects
such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause
overexposure. |

Cavision Low Contrast 1
Filter
The low contrast filter reduces the difference between the light and dark areas of the scene, preventing highlights from blowing out while still maintaining detail in the shadow areas. The low contrast filter works by spreading some of the light from the bright areas onto the other parts of the image. It is ideal for use in sunlight or when other very bright lights are being used. It is often used in video work as a way to compensate for the video CCD's
lack of latitude (compared to that of film stock). The low
contrast filter is offered in various densities. |
| |
Special Effects Filters
There are many types of filters available that are designed to give your photographs special effects. These include filters for special color effects, star effects, spectral effects, soft effects, mist effects, multi image and multi exposure effects, graduated color, dual color and tricolor effects along with spot filters, center filters and other special effects filters. These filters are mainly made out of glass and enable you to experiment with your photos or give them specific effects. The filters are available in various colors, sizes, styles and densities. If you buy extra filters you definitely require a good camera bag with padding to hold and protect them. They generally range in price from about $20 to several hundred and many of these filters are sold individually or in sets.

Cavision (4 Point) Star Effect
Filter. The star patterns created around light sources
by star screens are not spread out as colorfully as those
created by Spectra attachments. Instead, their colors are
less pronounced. The rays begin right at the light sources,
they are very long and they are most effective when they are
not vertical and horizontal, but at an angle of
approximately 45° to the vertical axis. |
 |
Cavision (6 Point) Star Effect
Filter. The star pattern produced by this screen is similar to that of the previous one, except that it generates 6 beams from light sources and reflections at an angle of 60° to one another. Here too the light rays ema

Filter Set |
 |
Cavision Set of 4x4" Glass
Filters - Consists of Polarizer, Soft Mist Black, Graduated
Neutral Density, Graduated Blue and Graduated Orange
Polarizer - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
Soft Mist Black - The Soft Mist Black creates moderate image softening and modest-to-strong highlight flare, but without as much of a lightening effect in the shadow areas.
Graduated Neutral Density - Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes.
Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed. Graduated Neutral Density filters are part clear, part neutral density. They allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly.
Graduated Blue and Graduated Orange - Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes. Sometimes it is also
desirable to add color to part of the photograph. For example, to add blue to
only the sky. |
