Key Features

【Variable ND Filter】 NEEWER Variable ND2–32 Filter can reduce the light transmission from 1 to 5 stops, slow down the shutter speed for a longer exposure, and help you shoot moving subjects with dynamic motion blur effects on rainy, cloudy, or sunny days

【Multiple Coatings】 The optical glass is protected by layers of coatings for optimal performance under any circumstance. Multi-resistant coatings are water-repellent, oleophobic, scratch-resistant, and low-reflection

【Slim Metal Frame】 Ultra-slim aluminum alloy frame with an anti-glare black matte finish won’t cause vignettes on wide-angle lenses. Straight knurls ensure smooth rotation between ND2 (min) and ND32 (max)

【No Black X-Pattern】 Neutral density adjustments about 70 degrees can effectively eliminate the black x-pattern on your lens and allow you to capture sharp and clear photographs second best to none

【Wide Compatibility】 Compatible with any lens with a 72mm filter size. The filter size is marked on the front or side of your lens, next to a “⌀” (diameter) symbol

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Offers a variable neutral density range from ND2 to ND32, allowing for versatile light reduction from 1 to 5 stops.
  • Effectively eliminates the "black x-pattern" on lenses through neutral density adjustments within a 70-degree rotation.
  • Features multiple protective coatings, making the optical glass water-repellent, oleophobic, and scratch-resistant.
  • Constructed with an ultra-slim aluminum alloy frame, designed to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
  • Equipped with straight knurls on the frame, ensuring smooth and precise rotation between ND settings.

👎 Cons

  • The variable ND filter's operation requires a rotation of approximately 70 degrees, which might be less precise than fixed ND filters in some scenarios.
  • While designed to eliminate the X-pattern, users must still adhere to the specified 70-degree rotation range for optimal results.
  • The filter is specifically designed for 72mm lenses, limiting its direct compatibility with other lens sizes.
  • Optical performance relies on the quality of the multi-resistant coatings, which are not individually rated for their longevity or specific protective properties.
  • No details are provided regarding the optical glass type used, which can influence image quality and color neutrality.
