Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Darkens the image by providing a 6-stop exposure reduction, enabling creative use of longer shutter speeds in bright conditions.
- Allows photographers to use a wider aperture than normally required, which is excellent for controlling depth of field and achieving selective focus.
- Does not affect the coloration of the image, ensuring accurate color reproduction without unwanted color shifts.
- Constructed from Water White glass, ensuring increased optical clarity and minimizing distortion for high-quality images.
- Non-coated design helps maintain image purity and avoids potential issues associated with certain multi-coating types, especially for minimal reflections.
👎 Cons
- The 6-stop (ND 1.8) density might be too strong for certain lighting conditions or scenarios where only a minor exposure reduction is desired.
- Being non-coated, it may be more susceptible to reflections or flare in extremely harsh lighting situations compared to multi-coated filters.
- The 82mm filter size means it is only compatible with lenses that have an 82mm front filter thread, requiring step-up or step-down rings for other sizes.
- While it helps control depth of field, it doesn't offer variable density, limiting on-the-fly adjustments without swapping filters.
- Requires careful handling due to its optical glass construction, as it can be prone to fingerprints and smudges which affect image quality.
