Combined with in camera gamma settings and/or post production, a higher dynamic range can be recorded. The result is more detail in highlight and shadow areas with no loss of resolution or softening of the image. Filter produces no color shift and highlights are clean and halo-free. They are available in 6.6 x 6.6" , 4x5.65" , 4 x 4" and many other sizes by special order. They are offered in five strengths : 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2. The filters are used in a matte box mounted to the camera and are geared toward digital shooting. The color rendition is completely neutral.

Not exactly.

Digicon filters compress the range of the highest and lowest values in he image into a narrower band that you can expand in post to somewhat give you more latitude in grading those values.

A fader nd simply is a variable nuetral density filter that varies the amount of total light coming into the camera and doesnt really effect contrast much at all.
