Cokin CNV32-82 Nuances Variable ND Filter 82mm

The Cokin Nuances Variable ND Filter in 82mm is built for photographers and cinematographers who need precise, on-the-fly control over exposure without swapping filters. By rotating the outer ring, users can dial in anywhere from 5 to 10 stops of light reduction, making it possible to use wide apertures or slow shutter speeds in bright conditions. This is particularly valuable for video shooters who need to maintain a specific shutter speed for cinematic motion blur, or for photographers creating long-exposure effects like silky water and motion-blurred clouds in daylight.

At the heart of this filter is Schott B270 glass, a German-made optical glass recognized for its high transmission and color neutrality. The EVERCLEAR 5 coating system applies 16 individual layers to both surfaces, providing anti-reflective performance that maintains contrast while also repelling oil, dust, dirt, and fingerprints. A hydrophobic top layer causes water droplets to bead up and roll away, which is a practical advantage when shooting near waterfalls, coastlines, or in rain. The 82mm thread size accommodates large-diameter professional lenses directly, and photographers with smaller lenses can use step-up adapter rings to take advantage of the filter across multiple lenses in their kit.
