Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Offers a variable density range of 2-8 stops, providing significant exposure control.
- Effectively reduces brightness without negatively impacting color rendition or depth of field.
- Helps optimize shutter speed, making it easier to maintain the double FPS rate rule for video.
- Enables the use of wider apertures in bright conditions, creating a shallower depth of field.
- Constructed from high-quality German optical glass for clear and sharp image capture.
👎 Cons
- Specifically designed for 62mm lenses, requiring step-up or step-down rings for other filter sizes.
- The variable nature means there's a possibility of "X" pattern vignetting at maximum density with some wide lenses.
- The filter requires manual adjustment to change the density, which can be slower than using fixed ND filters.
- While it helps with shutter speed, it cannot completely eliminate motion blur from very fast-moving subjects.
- The 2-8 stop range, while versatile, might not be enough for extremely long exposures in very bright sunlight.
