Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

If you're looking for an affordable variable nd filter this is probably your best high quality, entry level filter out there. Build quality is good and the bag it comes with is high quality. Physical glass is very strong and feels well made.

Mm variable neutral density filter. The rear part that screws into the camera lens is 58mm. Make sure to buy a larger size and buy adaptor rings to step it down to your lens.

The body is nice durable metal. The ring turns smoothly, making it easy as pie to dial in the exact amount of nd i need.

You have no control over where the white dot ends up on the circumference of the lens. This range covers about 60 degrees of the circumference. All variable nd filters have this proble.

This filter is a waste of 90 bucks. Every time you take it out it tends to be full of static and lint. Almost unusable on the strongest end.

The transition from min to max is not consistent. When using the filter at its darkest setting, which is about 8 stops, i get horrible banding and vignetting.

    I shoot with sony a7siiis and they dont have built in nd filters

    I have the 58mm variable neutral density filter because the lens i want this to screw into is 58mm


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The rear part that screws into the camera lens is 58mm


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Then the front part of the filter is larger


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have read that it is larger to reduce the amount this lens blocks light at the corners of wide angle lenses


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For mine i can verify that this front diameter thread is 67mm

    When i use the jjc hood there is light blocking in the corners up to about 18mm
