Overview

Achieve Cinematic Control with Variable Neutral Density

The NEEWER 55mm Variable ND Filter offers precise control over your exposure in varying lighting conditions. Adjustable from ND2 to ND32 (1-5 stops), this filter allows you to shoot at wider apertures and slower shutter speeds for creative effects. Constructed with premium materials and advanced coatings, it ensures optimal image quality without the "X" cross artifact.

Specifications:

    • Brand: Neewer
    • Model: 10101262
    • Filter Type: Variable ND Filter
    • Filter Size: 55mm
    • ND Range: ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stops)
    • Material: Optical Glass, Aluminum Alloy Frame
    • Coatings: Multi-Layer Nano Coated (Water Repellent, Scratch Resistant)

Key Features

【1-5 Stops Variable ND Filter】 The NEEWER ND2-ND32 Variable Filter is adjustable from 1 to 5 stops, with a rotating ring to reduce light intake and extend exposure time when shooting at slower shutter speeds and wider apertures. Perfect for capturing rivers, waterfalls, light trails and other moving subjects with dynamic motion blur.

【Without Black "X" Cross】 The rotation range is limited to approximately 70°, and advanced cutting-edge technology lets you say goodbye to the "X" cross mark on images and other common problems with variable ND filters for wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

【High-end Materials and Design】 Imported Japanese AGC 4-element optical glass ensures optimal neutrality and accurate color contrast and reproduction. Ultra-slim CNC non-slip aviation aluminum frame prevents wide-angle vignetting and ensures durability and anti-snagging.

【Double-sided Multi-layered Nano-Coatings】 With 30 layers of Nano coating, the minimum light reflection rate is less than 0.1%, which reduces glare and ghosting, and also blocks UV rays from 300 to 380nm, while ensuring accurate color reproduction. Waterproof, oil-proof, dirt-proof and scratch-proof.

【NOTE】 For long exposure, please purchase fixed value ND such as ND1000. Some ultra-wide-angle lenses may appear cross-shaped. Vignetting may occur with telephoto lenses, which is a normal situation.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Offers a versatile 1-5 stop variable ND range (ND2-ND32), allowing significant light reduction.
  • Engineered with advanced technology to prevent the black "X" cross mark common in variable ND filters.
  • Constructed with imported Japanese AGC 4-element optical glass for optimal neutrality and accurate color.
  • Features an ultra-slim CNC non-slip aviation aluminum frame to prevent wide-angle vignetting and enhance durability.
  • Equipped with 30 layers of double-sided multi-layered nano-coatings for low reflection, UV blocking, and resistance to water, oil, dirt, and scratches.

👎 Cons

  • The rotation range is limited to approximately 70°, which might feel restrictive for some users compared to full rotation filters.
  • While "X" cross is minimized, it may still appear with some ultra-wide-angle lenses, as noted by the manufacturer.
  • Vignetting may occur with telephoto lenses, which is identified as a normal situation but still a potential image artifact.
  • Not recommended for long exposure photography that requires fixed, higher-density ND values like ND1000.
  • The "ultra-slim" frame, while beneficial for vignetting, may be more delicate or challenging to handle for some users.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NEEWER Variable ND Filter is adjustable from ND2 to ND32, which allows for a 1 to 5 stop reduction in light intake.
This filter incorporates advanced cutting-edge technology designed to eliminate the black "X" cross mark on images, although some ultra-wide-angle lenses may still exhibit it.
The NEEWER 55mm ND filter uses imported Japanese AGC 4-element optical glass, chosen for its neutrality and accurate color reproduction.
Yes, it features an ultra-slim CNC aviation aluminum frame for durability and 30 layers of multi-layered nano-coatings that make it waterproof, oil-proof, dirt-proof, and scratch-proof.
While it offers variable stops, for very long exposure photography requiring higher fixed ND values like ND1000, it is recommended to purchase a dedicated fixed value ND filter instead.
