Overview

The Neewer 49mm True Color Variable ND2-ND32 and CPL Filter is designed for photographers and videographers who want streamlined control over exposure and reflections without juggling multiple filters. By integrating a variable neutral density filter (ND2 through ND32, or 1 to 5 stops) with a circular polarizer into a single unit, this filter eliminates the need to stack separate ND and CPL filters — reducing vignetting risk, saving time in the field, and lightening your gear bag. The hand knob allows quick, one-handed adjustment between ND levels, while locking the knob and rotating the ring independently controls the polarizing effect for glare and reflection management.

Constructed with multi-coated high-definition optical glass in a CNC machined aluminum alloy frame, the filter is built to deliver true-to-life color reproduction that minimizes the green or magenta color casts common in lesser variable ND filters. The multiple coating layers also provide practical protection against water spots, dust, oil, and fingerprints, keeping the glass clean during outdoor shoots. The slim frame design reduces the chance of vignetting on standard lenses, though users should be aware that the hand knob prevents standard lens hood attachment and that wide-open apertures may produce the X-cross artifact typical of variable ND construction.

Key Features

【2 in 1 Variable ND & CPL Filter】 NEEWER 49mm True Color Variable ND2-ND32 & CPL Filter combines the features of ND and CPL filters, offering a convenient and versatile solution for photographers who want to avoid carrying and switching between multiple filters. This hybrid filter is made for 49mm camera lenses, please verify the lens thread size of your camera (marked with the "Φ" symbol) before placing an order. Note: not compatible with lens hood due to the integrated hand knob

【Precise Exposure Control with Variable ND Filter】 This limited variable camera lens filter provides exposure adjustment by loosening the hand knob and rotating the filter to adjust from ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16 to ND32 (1 to 5 stops) for precise control of the amount of light that enters the camera sensor. Note: Using the maximum aperture may cause an X black cross due to the Variable ND filter's interaction with certain lenses and focal lengths

【Enhanced Contrast & Reflection Free】 Adjust by one hand. Lock the hand knob and rotate the filter to switch to the CPL filter. You can adjust to your desired ND stop as well as achieve reduced glare and reflection from water, glass, foliage, and other non metallic surfaces. Rotate to get precise control for clear images with more details and increased saturation

【True to Life Color Reproduction】 This adjustable 2 in 1 filter fulfills the True Color effect to produce true to life color, letting you spend more time on creations rather than post processing for color correction

【Multi Coated Optical Glass & Ultra Slim Frame】With multiple layers of coatings, the filter’s high definition optical glass can reduce glare and reflection, and protect against water, dust, oil, fingerprints, and scratches. The lightweight and precise CNC machined aluminum alloy frames ensure a snug fit and secure grip for easy filter mounting, delivering high portability with overwhelming 2 in 1 versatility

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Combines ND and CPL functions in a single filter, reducing gear and filter swapping
Variable ND2-ND32 range provides 1 to 5 stops of precise exposure adjustment
True Color multi-coating minimizes color cast and reduces post-processing correction
CNC machined aluminum alloy frame is slim and lightweight for easy mounting
Multi-layer coatings resist water, dust, oil, and fingerprints on the glass surface

👎 Cons

Not compatible with lens hoods due to the protruding hand knob design
May produce an X-shaped black cross artifact at maximum aperture on some lenses
49mm thread size is specific and does not include step-up ring adapters for other sizes
Variable ND filters inherently introduce slight image softening compared to fixed ND filters

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ND range of this filter?

It adjusts from ND2 to ND32, providing 1 to 5 stops of light reduction for precise exposure control in bright conditions.

How do I switch between the ND and CPL functions?

Lock the hand knob and rotate the filter ring to adjust the CPL effect. Loosen the hand knob and rotate to adjust the ND level. Both functions can be used simultaneously.

Will this filter cause an X-shaped dark pattern in my images?

At maximum aperture on certain lenses and focal lengths, the variable ND interaction can produce a visible X-shaped black cross. Stopping down slightly typically eliminates this artifact.

Can I use a lens hood with this filter?

No, the integrated hand knob prevents attachment of a standard lens hood. You may need a separate clip-on or rubber hood as an alternative.

What thread size does this filter fit?

This filter fits 49mm lens threads. Check your lens for the "Φ49" marking to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
