Overview

The Neewer NW Series S 58mm Variable ND Filter gives photographers and videographers a single, adjustable filter that covers neutral density from ND3 to ND1000 — equivalent to 1.5 through 10 stops of light reduction. Rather than carrying a bag of individual fixed-ND filters, you rotate the outer ring to dial in exactly the density you need for the current lighting conditions. The F-stop values are printed directly on the filter frame, making it straightforward to set a specific reduction level without guesswork.

The filter is built with HD optical glass and features double-sided, 30-layer nano coatings that reduce reflections and glare while repelling water, oil, dust, and fingerprints. The knurled ring provides a firm grip for mounting and adjustment, even with gloves. The slim aluminum alloy frame is designed to minimize vignetting, though the manufacturer is upfront that rotating past ND256 can introduce an X-cross pattern or edge darkening — a common limitation of variable ND filters at extreme settings. For heavy long-exposure work, a dedicated fixed ND1000 or ND2000 filter is recommended. The package includes a cleaning wipe and a hard filter case, and note that a 62mm lens cap or hood is needed once the filter is mounted since it extends slightly past the original 58mm thread.

Key Features

【Variable Neutral Density Filter】With ND3-ND1000 wide neutral density range, the variable ND filter helps handle various light conditions with ease. From overcast to bright sunny days, simply rotate the filter ring to adjust the amount of light that enters your camera lens to avoid overexposure

【1.5-10 Limited Stops of Light Reduction】With F stops clearly marked on the filter frame, the ND3-ND1000 neutral density filter provides 1.5 to 10 stops of light reduction to achieve balanced exposure across image, reduce shutter speed for long exposure shots, and apply wider aperture for shallower depth of field

【Multi Coated HD Optical Glass Build】The ND filter features double sided coatings to reduce glare and reflection while effectively protecting the glass from water, dust, oil, debris, and scratches. The HD optical glass material helps block strong light without losing image sharpness. The knurled ring provides firm grip for easy filter mounting and removal

【58mm Camera Lens Filter】The variable ND filter is of 58mm thread size. Please double check the lens filter thread of your camera (marked with the "Φ58" symbol under lens barrel). Package includes a variable ND3-ND1000 filter, a lens cleaning wipe, and a filter case

【Note About Usage】(1) Though sealed with super slim aluminum alloy frame, when the filter is rotated to ND256, there might be X cross or vignetting issue. (2) The actual neutral density degree might differ from the marks on the filter ring. (3) Please get ND1000 or ND2000 filter for long exposure shots. (4)A 62mm lens cap or hood is required for the 58mm ND filter.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Wide ND3 to ND1000 range covers a broad variety of lighting situations with a single filter
  • F-stop markings on the filter frame make it easy to dial in a specific density
  • Multi-coated HD optical glass resists glare, water, dust, oil, and scratches
  • Slim aluminum alloy frame reduces the risk of vignetting at moderate density settings
  • Includes a protective case and cleaning wipe in the box

👎 Cons

  • X-cross pattern and vignetting can appear when rotated beyond ND256
  • Actual density may not precisely match the markings on the filter ring
  • Not ideal for extreme long exposures — Neewer recommends a dedicated ND1000 or ND2000 fixed filter for that use
  • Requires a 62mm lens cap or hood since the filter extends beyond the 58mm thread

Frequently Asked Questions

It means the filter provides between 1.5 and 10 stops of light reduction. At ND3 you get a mild darkening suitable for slightly bright conditions, while ND1000 blocks most light for long exposure effects like silky water or motion blur in daylight.
The manufacturer notes that when rotated past ND256, an X-shaped cross pattern or vignetting may appear. For best results, stay within the ND3 to ND256 range, especially on wider focal lengths.
Because the filter adds to the front diameter, you will need a 62mm lens cap or hood rather than the standard 58mm cap that came with your lens.
Yes, the package includes the variable ND filter, a lens cleaning wipe, and a protective filter case for storage and transport.
Check for the "Φ58" marking on your lens barrel or under the lens cap. If your lens has a 58mm filter thread, this filter will thread on directly.
