Overview

The Neewer NW SERIES S 52mm Variable ND Filter gives photographers and videographers stepless control over exposure with a continuously adjustable range from ND2 to ND32 — equivalent to 1 through 5 stops of light reduction. This range is ideal for slowing shutter speeds to capture silky water motion, smooth light trails, or shallow depth-of-field video in bright conditions without overexposing the frame. Calibrated markers on the aluminum frame let you dial in specific ND values with precision and repeatability, and the filter is engineered to eliminate the X-cross dark spot that plagues many variable ND designs, even when paired with wide-angle lenses.

Optical quality comes from premium Japanese AGC glass with 30 layers of double-sided nano coating, achieving high-definition clarity with just 0.1% minimum light reflectivity. The coatings also provide water-repellent, oil-proof, and scratch-resistant properties for durability in the field. The aircraft-grade aluminum frame is CNC-machined with a black matte finish, measuring 7.4mm thick (excluding thread) to maintain an ultra-slim profile that prevents vignetting. A protective case and cleaning cloth are included, making this a ready-to-use kit for any 52mm-threaded lens.

Key Features

【Variable ND2-ND32 Camera Lens Filters】 This 52mm variable camera lens filter features 5 stops of exposure brightness, from ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16 to ND32 (the numbers represent how much light enters the lens in terms of a fraction). Use this filter to gain more control over exposure and shutter speed when shooting rivers, waterfalls, light trails, etc

【No X cross dark spot】 With markers on the frame, rotate the filter to accurately adjust ND stop with ease. When mounted on wide angle lens, no need to worry about X cross dark spot. A 55mm lens cap is required to fit on the 52mm filter

【Multi Layer Nano Coated HD Optical Glass】 Made of premium Japanese AGC optical glass, the high definition ND filter delivers cinematic photo look without distorting image quality. The 30 layers of double sided Nano coatings, with 0.1% minimum light reflectivity, reduce flare and ghosting while protecting the filter against moisture, oil, dust, and scratches

【Professional Build】 The aircraft grade aluminum frame makes the filter lightweight. 0.37"/9.5mm thick (including thread, 0.29"/7.4mm thick excluding thread), this ultra slim filter helps avoid vignetting. Finished in black matte and CNC precisely machined, it is durable and has zero chance of being jammed on lens

【About its Compatibility】 This 52mm ND filter can only fit 52mm camera lens. Please confirm the filter thread size marked on your camera with the "Ф" (diameter) symbol before ordering. When mounted on camera, the ND filter also protects your camera lens from scratches. Protective case and cleaning cloth also included

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Continuously variable ND2–ND32 range replaces five individual fixed ND filters in one unit
No X-cross dark spot, maintaining clean images even on wide-angle lenses
30-layer nano coating on Japanese AGC optical glass delivers high clarity with minimal flare and ghosting
Ultra-slim 7.4mm aluminum frame helps prevent vignetting
Frame markers allow accurate, repeatable ND stop selection when rotating the filter

👎 Cons

Maximum ND32 (5 stops) may not be sufficient for extreme long exposures in bright daylight
Requires a 55mm lens cap when mounted, which is not included with the filter
Limited to 52mm lens thread size with no built-in step-up ring for other diameters
Slightly thicker than fixed ND filters, which could contribute to vignetting on ultra-wide lenses

Frequently Asked Questions

What ND range does this filter cover?

It provides continuous adjustment from ND2 to ND32, which equals 1 to 5 stops of light reduction for flexible exposure control.

Does this variable ND filter produce an X-cross pattern?

No. The filter is engineered to eliminate the X-cross dark spot that can appear on some variable ND filters, even when used with wide-angle lenses.

Will I need a different lens cap with this filter attached?

Yes. When mounted, the filter requires a 55mm lens cap instead of your standard 52mm cap due to the front ring diameter.

What is included in the box?

The filter comes with a protective carrying case and a cleaning cloth.

How thick is this filter, and will it cause vignetting?

The filter is 7.4mm thick (excluding thread) with an ultra-slim aluminum frame designed to prevent vignetting on standard and wide-angle lenses.
