IDAS filter, help required.

[Chaz2b]

I have a IDAS VLC -34 58mm filter, looking it up doesn’t give me much info, what I have found so far that it is a white balance filter fitted to the front of the lens on modified dslr’s.

I cannot find what VLC means nor 34, plus I cannot find as to what application you would use it in. I do know it has Ion Gun Assisted Deposition applied giving it durability, and I’m fully aware of IDAS quality.

I need to know what it is I have so I can ascertain if I will ever use it. Any assistance will be gratefully received.

chaz.

Looking at below website I would say it's a daylight filter

At least all vlc filters there are prefixed vlc  not sure about the 34 though. On the site are only N for Nikon and a number for the series

It looks similar to a CLS-CCD filter.  Perhaps it's a light pollution filter?

These are IDAS VLC(daylight) filters for modified cameras, which convert the color balance back to the original. The body-mounted types allow to use wide angle lenses too. Now Hutech makes special offer for Canon and Nikon APS-C camera users with limited quantities.

Think I should hold on to it, as I have a modified canon 300. Even though I also have the 350 and 400 unmodified.
