Overview

The Neewer NW Series S 82mm Variable ND Filter is a versatile tool for photographers and videographers who need to control exposure without swapping between multiple fixed-density filters. By rotating the outer ring, you can dial in anywhere from ND2 (1 stop) to ND32 (5 stops) of light reduction, which is ideal for shooting long exposures of waterfalls and rivers, capturing smooth motion blur in video, or opening up your aperture for shallow depth of field in bright daylight. The filter is built around premium Japanese AGC optical glass with 30 layers of double-sided nano coating that minimize reflections to just 0.1%, effectively reducing lens flare and ghosting while repelling water, oil, and fingerprints.

Build quality is a strong point of this filter. The aircraft-grade aluminum frame is CNC-machined for precise threads that mount and dismount without binding or cross-threading. At just 7.4mm thick (excluding threads), the ultra-slim design helps avoid vignetting even on moderately wide focal lengths. Clear markings on the frame let you set your desired ND stop quickly and repeatably. The package includes a padded protective case for safe transport and a microfiber cleaning cloth, making it ready to use right out of the box.

Key Features

【Variable ND2-ND32 Camera Lens Filters】 This 82mm 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 86mm lens cap is required to fit on the 82mm 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 82mm ND filter can only fit 82mm 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

Wide 5-stop variable range (ND2–ND32) adjustable with a simple rotation
30-layer nano coating resists moisture, oil, dust, and scratches while reducing flare
Ultra-slim 7.4mm profile helps prevent vignetting on most lenses
No X-cross artifact when used on wide-angle lenses
Includes a protective carrying case and cleaning cloth

👎 Cons

Only available in 82mm thread size, so other lens sizes require step-up rings
Maximum ND32 may not be strong enough for extremely bright conditions where ND64 or higher is needed
Requires purchasing a separate 86mm lens cap to fit over the mounted filter
Variable ND filters can introduce slight color shifts at the highest density settings

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the variable ND range on this filter?

It offers ND2 through ND32, which provides 1 to 5 stops of light reduction. You rotate the outer ring to adjust the density.

Will this filter cause an X-pattern or cross artifact on wide-angle lenses?

No. Neewer designed this filter to eliminate the X cross dark spot that some variable ND filters produce on wide-angle lenses.

What size lens cap do I need when this filter is mounted?

You will need an 86mm lens cap, since the filter's front diameter is larger than the 82mm thread size.

Does the filter affect image sharpness or color accuracy?

The 30-layer nano-coated Japanese AGC optical glass is designed to maintain sharpness and minimize color shift, flare, and ghosting.

Is the filter easy to mount and remove without jamming?

Yes. The CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminum frame is finished in matte black and engineered to thread on and off smoothly without jamming.
