Astronomik MC-Clear for Canon EOS 1100D-4000D, M3, M5
Product information "Astronomik MC-Clear for Canon EOS 1100D-4000D, M3, M5"
The Astronomik MC-Clear glass is an optically polished and multi-coated special glass designed for Full-Spectrum modification of Canon EOS cameras. It allows the camera's CMOS sensor to capture a broader range of wavelengths, maximizing its spectral sensitivity.
Available in various sizes to suit different Canon EOS models, the Astronomik MC-Clear glass primarily compensates for the optical light path of the camera’s original filters, which are removed during the modification. Additionally, it prevents dust particles from settling directly on the sensor, reducing the risk of visible dust on the image.
The Astronomik MC-Clear glass itself has no filtering effect. The transmission is typically over 99.7% and it allows both infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light to pass through.
For proper imaging, the modified Canon EOS camera requires an additional filter that blocks IR or visible light. The filter is dependent on the spectral range of interest and the optics used. For general photography, we recommend an Astronomik OWB Type 3 Clip-Filter, which restores the camera’s original sensitivity and white balance to the state before the modification. For astrophotography in visible light, at least an Astronomik UV-IR Block Filter should be used. For IR photography, we offer the Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP, 742 and 807 Clip-Filters.
