Key Features

【Variable ND Filter】 Neewer ND2-ND400 variable filter reduces the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, allows you to take photos in various conditions with slower shutter speeds and wider apertures, perfect for capturing rivers, waterfalls, light streaks and other moving objects with dynamic motion blur.

High-quality materials: the Japanese NITTO polarising film guarantees optimal neutrality as well as precise contrast and colour reproduction. With superior 4-element optical glass and 42-layer multi-resistant coatings, this ND filter lets you take photos and videos with confidence.

【Multiple Nano-Coatings】42 nano-coatings with a minimum light reflectance of 0.1% can block ultraviolet rays from 300nm to 380nm and reduce flare and ghosting. Multi-resistant coatings protect the filter against moisture, oil, dust and scratches.

【Ultra Slim Design】 The ultra-thin 9.5 mm lens with precise thread is easy to mount. The wide outer frame prevents vignetting of your shots and is ideal for wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

【Note 1. X-shaped glare or ghosting may appear when light is reduced to ND256. 2. Actual ND effects may differ to Min and Max brands as well as in different environments. 3. For long exposure, please buy ND1000 or ND2000 filters. 4. For this 72mm ND filter, the lens cap/cover should be 77mm.
