Overview

The Neewer NW Series S 82mm Variable ND & CPL Filter addresses a common frustration for photographers and videographers: the need to carry, stack, and swap between neutral density and circular polarizer filters in the field. This 2-in-1 design lets you control exposure reduction from 1.5 to 6 stops by loosening the hand knob and rotating the filter, then lock the knob and rotate separately to dial in the CPL effect for reducing reflections and enhancing contrast. The hand knob is a practical design choice that makes one-handed adjustments possible, though it does prevent the use of a lens hood.

Optically, the filter uses multi-coated HD glass in a CNC-machined aluminum alloy frame that keeps the profile slim despite the dual-function construction. Neewer's True Colors coating is designed to maintain accurate color reproduction across the ND range, which can be a significant time saver in post-processing compared to filters that introduce warm or cool color shifts. The filter is well suited for controlling exposure during outdoor video work, smoothing water motion in landscape photography, or cutting glare from non-metallic surfaces. Users should be aware that the variable ND component can produce cross-pattern artifacts at maximum aperture with certain lenses, a limitation inherent to variable ND filter design rather than specific to this unit.

Key Features

【2 in 1 Variable ND & CPL Filter】 NEEWER 82mm True Colors Variable ND3-ND64 & 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 82mm 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 1.5 to 6 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 Colors 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 againstdust, 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

Combines variable ND and CPL into a single 82mm filter, eliminating the need to carry and swap between two separate filters
Hand knob mechanism allows one-handed ND adjustment with a tactile lock for the CPL mode
True Colors coating minimizes the color cast that many variable ND filters introduce
Multi-coated HD optical glass resists dust, oil, fingerprints, and scratches

👎 Cons

Not compatible with lens hoods due to the integrated hand knob, leaving the front element more exposed
May produce a visible X-shaped dark cross at maximum aperture depending on the lens and focal length
Limited to 6 stops maximum which may be insufficient for long exposure work in bright daylight
Only available in 82mm so smaller lens threads require a step-up ring which adds bulk

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this filter with my existing lens hood?

No, this filter is not compatible with lens hoods due to the integrated hand knob used for adjusting the ND and CPL functions.

How do I switch between the ND and CPL functions on this filter?

Loosen the hand knob and rotate the filter to adjust the ND level. Lock the hand knob, then rotate the outer ring to control the CPL polarization effect.

Does this filter produce an X-shaped dark cross in images?

It can at maximum aperture with certain lens and focal length combinations. This is a characteristic of variable ND filters and is most noticeable at wide-open apertures.

What is the ND range of this filter in stops?

The filter provides 1.5 to 6 stops of neutral density adjustment, corresponding to an ND3-ND64 range.

Will this filter cause a color cast on my images?

Neewer's True Colors coating is designed to minimize color shifts, aiming for accurate color reproduction without extensive post-processing correction.
