## Summary description

Heliopan Folia Newell Cinenoir is a black film-type neutral density filter designed to reduce light transmission for controlled exposure. Supplied as a thin, flexible foil, it enables longer shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions without altering color balance. Ideal for cinematography, long-exposure photography, and creative depth-of-field control.

## Long description

Heliopan Folia Newell Cinenoir is a black film-type neutral density filter supplied as a thin, flexible foil that reduces light transmission without altering color balance. Designed for photographers and cinematographers who need controlled exposure in bright conditions, this neutral density foil enables longer shutter speeds or wider apertures to achieve motion blur, creative depth of field, or balanced exposure for high-contrast scenes. The lightweight film format makes it easy to cut, layer, or attach to matte boxes and filter holders where conventional glass filters may be impractical.
Advantages
The black film construction provides uniform light attenuation across the visible spectrum, preserving color neutrality while reducing exposure. Its thin, flexible design is easy to handle and store, and it can be trimmed or layered to achieve intermediate density values. Because it is supplied as foil, it is cost-effective for large-format or non-standard filter holders and for on-set use where temporary or disposable neutral density is preferred.
Suitable for
 Cinematography and video shoots needing precise exposure control without color shift
 Long-exposure photography to create motion blur in daylight
 Portrait and landscape work where wider apertures are required in bright light
 Use with matte boxes, large-format rigs, or custom filter holders
When it may not be suitable
This film-type neutral density solution is not a rigid optical glass filter and therefore may be less suitable where absolute flatness and optical perfection are required, such as high-resolution large-sensor stills work with extreme critical sharpness. It is also not a replacement for filters that include additional coatings (anti-reflective, scratch-resistant) or for photographic workflows that require standardized threaded filter sizes.
Key specifications
 Type: black film neutral density foil
 Form factor: thin flexible sheet suitable for trimming and layering
 Optical effect: broadband neutral attenuation without intentional color shift
 Intended use: exposure reduction for photography and cinematography
 Compatibility: matte boxes, custom holders, large-format rigs, or in front of lenses as required
How to use
Measure and cut the foil to the required size for your matte box or filter holder, taking care to avoid creasing the material. Start with a single layer and evaluate exposure changes in camera; add or remove layers to reach the desired shutter speed or aperture while monitoring waveform or histogram for video and highlight clipping for stills. When attaching near the lens, ensure the foil sits flat and does not introduce movement or wind buffeting during capture. Store the foil flat or rolled on a protective core to prevent permanent creases.
What to consider before purchase
 Requirement for optical flatness and absolute image sharpness
 Need for standardized threaded filters versus custom cutting
 Whether you require additional coatings (anti-reflective, scratch-resistant)
 Planned mounting method: matte box, custom holder, or temporary attachment
Usage recommendations
For consistent results, test the foil on your camera system before a shoot. Use exposure meters or in-camera histograms to quantify light reduction per layer, and protect trimmed edges from dust and damage. When working with moving cameras or wind, secure the foil firmly to prevent fluttering that can affect image stability.
