What is it?

Two rotatable 52mm lens filters. One contains a plate of 0.15-0.21mm thick V-1 grade natural Muscovite mica, lasercut to fit. The other contains a linear polarization sheet. Both are pressure fit with a threaded seal. This combination selectively modifies the appearance of reflections, pure white light, displays, etc. into a rainbow effect, leaving everything else normal with approximately 90% visible light transmission. Extremely fine control of color saturation and presence is possible; by rotating the polarizing axis the effect intensity can be varied or disabled, by rotating the mica the coloration and palette will change. The individual filters can be used separately or reversed for other diverse effects.

Why did you make it?

This is a part of a greater project making sunglasses with the same visual effects, trippy man! I wanted a way to share what it's like to wear the glasses and it turns out this is just as impressive and a rather versatile photography effect.

What makes it special?

Intense color saturated highlights in otherwise less than exciting photos. Really draws the eye, very high impact. Also interesting just to explore your surroundings and see what responds and what does not, all sort of exciting things pop out at you. Water puddles look like oil slicks, cars driving by look like the have magpie feathers, Skyscrapers like watercolors... Mica has many other unique properties, a little research will inspire you.

Comes in a laser-cut box with an informational sheet.

Please note that housings have an unrelated manufacturing logo, the intention is to scale enough to produce our own housings domestically. Design is finished, getting quotes from CNC shops now. For now; as of 7/20/2020 I have enough housing for about ten filters. There will be no supply after that. Please hold for updates above in the primary description.

Playful Filter with Unique Photography Results

While this might look like an Instagram filter lens at first, it's actually a one of a kind tool that helps bring color out of photos that would otherwise look quite bland. It works on certain reflective surfaces and part of the fun is pointing my camera at almost anything to see if it has any effect. When I do find the right surface, I can then start rotating the filter to adjust the hue type. In some instances it can adjust the reflective light to the point of masking off the reflected light almost completely! What's important is the psychedelic effect can be either subtle or more intense depending on the angle you're looking at reflective surfaces. It's basically a really fun device that encourages exploration and at times it feels like operating a kaleidoscope for adults. I'd recommend buying one on the simple basis that it's fun and the fact that as of this writing, there's nothing else like it in the photography market.

Very cool effect

Really a neat set of filters. You do have to be careful with them, as instructed, because they're comparably fragile compared to glass but they effect they produce is very, very dramatic when you get them setup correctly for your shots. These work best in bright light of course, where you have a lot of white light being reflected. A really neat product.
