Key Features
【2 in 1 Variable ND & CPL Filter】 NEEWER 72mm 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 72mm 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
- Integrates both variable ND (ND2-ND32) and CPL filter capabilities, offering a versatile 2-in-1 solution to avoid carrying multiple filters.
- Provides precise exposure control with 1 to 5 stops of variable ND adjustment (ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16, ND32), allowing fine-tuning of light intake.
- Enhances image contrast and significantly reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces when adjusted to the CPL setting.
- Delivers "True Color" reproduction, ensuring that images maintain accurate and lifelike colors with minimal post-processing needed.
- Features multi-coated optical glass for reduced glare, reflection, and protection against water, dust, oil, fingerprints, and scratches within an ultra-slim aluminum alloy frame.
👎 Cons
- The integrated hand knob design means the filter is not compatible with lens hoods, which may be a significant limitation for outdoor shooting.
- The variable ND function may produce an "X black cross" effect when using the maximum aperture, necessitating careful photographic technique.
- Exclusively designed for 72mm camera lenses, requiring users with different lens thread sizes to purchase a separate adapter or different filter.
- While versatile, the 1-5 stop range for ND may not be sufficient for extreme long exposure photography requiring higher ND values.
- Adjusting both ND and CPL functions through rotation might be less immediate than using separate, dedicated filters for each effect.
