The Filter Blank has M48 filter threads and a raised outer lip for easy gripping. It is made of anodized aluminum.

Evelyn Y. ★★★★★

Finally, a solid blank that actually blocks all light instead of those flimsy plastic caps. I just screw it into the filter slider and take perfect dark frames without any light leaks around the edges. Exactly what my mono CCD needed for clean calibration.

Kevin ★★★★★

Had the perfect weight and fit to slide right into my slider, and it completely blocks the light path for crisper calibration frames. Exactly what I needed.

Sebastian B. ★★★★★

Finally, a simple way to cap my filter slider for dark frames without fumbling with a lens cap. The solid blank fits perfectly and stays secure, making calibration frames much faster to shoot.
