Overview

The Neewer NW Series S 67mm Black Diffusion ND Filter is built for photographers and filmmakers who want a polished, cinematic look without carrying a filter wallet full of glass. The 1/4 black diffusion component adds a soft glow to highlights and smooths skin tones — the kind of quality previously reserved for in-post grading or expensive cinema glass — while the variable ND (ND2–ND32) handles the exposure math across 1 to 5 stops. For outdoor portrait work, golden-hour video, or any scenario where you're fighting bright ambient light while trying to maintain a wide aperture, this combination covers a lot of creative ground in a single rotation.

Construction is CNC-machined with anti-slip trapezoidal patterning on the ring — a practical detail that makes fine ND adjustments easier with gloves or damp hands. The 30 layers of nano coating on both sides address the field realities that damage filters over time: water, oil, fingerprints, and light scratching. The slim frame design helps minimize vignetting on standard and short-telephoto focal lengths, and the absence of X-cross shadow artifacts at higher densities sets it apart from lower-cost variable ND options. It's a competent, purpose-built tool for photographers who want to spend less time at their filter pouch and more time shooting.

Key Features

【2 in 1 Variable ND2-ND3 & 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter】The 2 in 1 camera lens effect filter offers dreamy soft effect and a range of light stopping power in a single filter that would otherwise require 5 separate neutral density filters and one black diffusion filter. This 2 in 1 variable ND2-32 & 1/4 black diffusion filter enables you to handle bright sunlight with ease when filming outdoors

【1-5 Limited Stops of Light Reduction】Rotate the limited variable ND2-ND32 neutral density filter to realize 1 to 5 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 filed. Recommended for filming on sunny days

【1/4 Black Diffusion Effect Filter】The black diffusion 1/4 filter for mist cinematic effect can reduce highlights, lower glare, and smooth skin tones for portrait photography

【Multi NANO Coated with No Color Shift】The 2 in 1 variable ND2-ND32 & 1/4 Black diffusion filter is slim and lightweight while delivering sharp images without casting X cross shadows. The 30 layers of nano coatings on both sides of the filter make it water repellent, scratch resistant, oil proof and anti fingerprint. No color shift

【67mm Camera Lens Filters】This 67mm effect lens filter can only fit 67mm camera lens. Please confirm the filter thread size marked on your camera lens barrel with the "Ф67" (diameter) symbol first. A filter case and a lens cleaning cloth are also included for filter care and safekeeping.Compatible with Neewer iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max cage,also compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 cage

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Combines variable ND and 1/4 diffusion in one ring — eliminates stacking filters for soft, exposure-controlled outdoor portraits.
  • No X-cross shadow artifact through the full 1–5 stop range, keeping the image clean even at ND32.
  • 30-layer nano coating sheds water and oil, making it genuinely practical for outdoor and event shoots.
  • Slim profile reduces vignetting risk on wide-to-standard focal lengths.
  • Ships with a filter case and cleaning cloth — small touches that matter when you're working fast in the field.

👎 Cons

  • Limited to 1–5 stops of light reduction — in harsh midday sun, you may still need to wait for better light or add a second ND for very long exposures.
  • The diffusion effect is fixed at 1/4 strength — shooters who want stronger or lighter diffusion have no adjustment option on this filter.
  • 67mm-only sizing means if you own multiple lenses with different thread sizes, you'll need additional filters or step-up rings.
  • At full ND32, some subtle color warmth shift has been noted in mixed lighting conditions — a minor concern but worth monitoring when shooting for critical color.

Frequently Asked Questions

It softens highlight edges and adds a subtle haze that makes skin tones glow without destroying sharpness. In portrait work, this translates to a more flattering, film-like quality — especially visible on backlit subjects or in direct sun.
No — Neewer specifically engineered this to avoid the X-cross shadow that plagues many variable ND filters at higher densities. The 30-layer nano coating keeps the image clean through the full 1–5 stop range.
Yes, and it's arguably better suited to video. The combined diffusion and ND lets you hold a cinematic shutter speed (1/50 at 24fps, for example) in bright daylight while adding that sought-after filmic softness in a single step.
Look at the front of your lens barrel for the ⌀67 symbol — that's the filter thread diameter. If it reads 67, this filter threads on directly. A mismatch will prevent it from fitting, so confirm before purchasing.
The coating itself doesn't control color neutrality — that's handled by the filter glass formulation. Neewer rates this as color-shift-free through the ND2–ND32 range, which has been consistent with what users report in natural light conditions.
