- Very affordable entry point for photographers and videographers new to ND filtration
👎 Cons
- Cross-pattern artifact can appear at or near the maximum ND400 setting
- Optical quality at this price point may introduce slight color cast compared to higher-end filters

Frequently Asked Questions
What ND range does this filter cover?
The filter adjusts continuously from ND2 (1 stop of light reduction) to ND400 (approximately 8.5 stops), allowing you to control exposure across a wide range of lighting conditions without swapping filters.
Does this variable ND filter produce a cross-pattern or "X" artifact at higher densities?
Like most variable ND filters, the Neewer ND2-ND400 can exhibit a visible cross pattern when rotated near its maximum ND400 setting. Staying slightly below the maximum rotation typically avoids this artifact.
What lens thread size does this filter fit?
This filter is designed for lenses with a 49mm front filter thread. Step-up or step-down adapter rings can be used to fit it to lenses with different thread sizes.
Can this filter be used for video as well as photography?
Yes, it is well-suited for video work where you need to maintain a specific shutter speed for cinematic motion blur while shooting in bright conditions.
Is the filter frame slim enough to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The filter profile may cause vignetting on ultra-wide-angle lenses. On standard and moderate wide-angle focal lengths with 49mm threads, vignetting is generally not an issue.
