Kolari Vision is extending its clever magnetic clip-in filter system to an even wider audience. As of May 2025, the company officially supports Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras—including models from Blackmagic, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus OMD.
This expansion adds a welcome layer of flexibility to the growing catalog of Kolari Vision magnetic filters, which already covers Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, Fujifilm X, RED KOMODO and V-RAPTOR, and Blackmagic full-frame cameras. This means a fresh and surprisingly efficient alternative to traditional screw-on or matte box filters for the MFT crowd.
Why Go Magnetic?
The idea is as straightforward as it is effective. Each compatible camera gets its own dedicated magnetic mounting plate, which fits inside the lens mount and sits directly in front of the sensor. Filters then simply snap into place magnetically—no threading, no adapters, no step-up rings. You get clean internal filtration without any of the usual front-of-lens hassles.
More than just a convenience tweak, this approach solves a few very real problems. If you’ve ever cursed the incompatibility of your favorite filter with an ultra-wide lens, or juggled filters with different thread sizes across your glass collection, you’ll see the appeal instantly. The system also plays nice with lens filters or matte boxes, allowing for layered effects if that’s your thing.
Filter Options For Infrared, Diffusion, And ND Work
Kolari offers a broad selection of filters in both general and infrared variants. For everyday creatives, this includes ND filters (3-stop, 6-stop, and 10-stop), multiple strengths of Mist Diffusion (⅛, ¼, ½), and a simple clear protector. On the IR side, options include 550nm through 850nm cuts, Blue IR/NDVI, IR Chrome Lite, and hot mirror filters.
Not every lens can take a front filter, especially super-wides or cine glass. But nearly every MFT camera can take a clip-in. For video shooters using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema or Olympus OMD cameras, this will truly come in handy.
Build Quality And Coatings
Each Kolari Vision magnetic filter is built from precision-crafted optical glass and fitted into a CNC-machined aluminum frame. The multi-coating recipe covers all the usuals: anti-reflective, anti-smudge, hydrophobic, dust-resistant, and scratch-resistant. Basically, they’re made to survive your camera bag and still look clean enough for work.
Pricing And Availability
Kolari’s Magnetic Clip-in Filters for Micro Four Thirds cameras are available now at $99.99 per filter, depending on the effect. For the full compatibility list and effect lineup, head over to Kolari Vision’s website.
