Kolari Announces Magnetic OLPF Clip-In Filter for Panasonic Lumix L-Mount Cameras

Kolari Vision has introduced a precision OLPF (Optical Low-Pass Filter) Clip-In Filter for Panasonic Lumix. It’s designed to reduce moiré in Panasonic Lumix L-Mount cameras, and Kolari Vision says that the new filter comes after many requests from the filmmaking community.

Why an OLPF?

Many Lumix full-frame cameras are built without internal anti-aliasing filters. While this allows for maximum sharpness, it can also lead to unwanted moiré and false color when shooting fine patterns like textiles, screens, or architectural elements. The Kolari magnetic OLPF helps solve this by diffusing detail slightly before it hits the sensor—reducing artifacts while maintaining image clarity.

Magnetic Clip-In Design

Rather than requiring a permanent modification, this magnetic filter clips securely inside the camera body. It’s easy to install and remove, making it ideal for hybrid shooters who want flexibility between stills and video. The filter is tuned specifically for the spectral and resolution characteristics of Panasonic’s 24MP sensors, delivering smooth color gradations and reduced aliasing.

Designed for Filmmakers and Content Creators

The Kolari magnetic filter is especially useful for cinematographers, commercial videographers, and content creators who need clean, natural-looking footage right out of camera. Kolari Vision has designed this clip-in filter to preserve sharpness without introducing noticeable softness, even during 6K capture.

Compatibility

The filter is optimized for Panasonic Lumix full-frame L-Mount cameras with approximately 24.2MP resolution and 6K recording modes.

Optimal Compatibility (24MP, 6K Sensors):

• Panasonic Lumix S1
• Panasonic Lumix S1II
• Panasonic Lumix S1IIE
• Panasonic Lumix S5
• Panasonic Lumix S5II
• Panasonic Lumix S5IIX
• Panasonic Lumix S9

These models share similar pixel pitches that align with the OLPF’s tuned frequency response, resulting in effective moiré suppression with minimal sharpness loss.

Partial Compatibility (Higher-Res Sensors):

• Panasonic Lumix S1R
• Panasonic Lumix S1RII

Although the filter physically fits, these higher-resolution sensors (47–60MP) may show mild softening, especially in 8K or full-res stills. Performance improves when shooting in APS-C crop or pixel-for-pixel modes.
