Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What's the difference between this filter and the seemingly identical Edition I version, which is $50 cheaper right here at B&H?

A: The version II has haptic feedback, so each stop has a click to notify you when you've reached the desired stop without really looking. It comes in a much smaller, eco-friendly package, a newly designed defender case and the trim is a little bit more gold. Optically there really isn't a difference. I have the original 2-5 and the newer 6-9 and the image is identical. Different color shifts but it's almost non-existant. Hopefully this helps!

Q: 2. Does the V1 have issues with filming windows and dark color too?

A: This filter would not exhibit issues with filming windows or dark colors.

Q: 3. What is the difference between the Peter McKinnon Signature Edition PolarPro 77-6/9 filter for 249.99 vs. the one for 299.99?

A: The Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II ($249.99) is the newer variant of the filter. It has a haptic feedback mechanism that clicks to indicate when you've reached the next or previous stop. The ring is also a bit more gold than it's predecessor and comes in a smaller environmental friendly package. The older version ($299) comes in a bigger fancier box, does not have the haptic feedback and is optically the same as the newer variant. If I were you, I would go with the Signature Edition II, it's cheaper and it's the most updated version of the filter.

A: The PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop), B&H # PO8269VNDED2, listed above would be compatible for use with the Sirui 50mm T2.9 Full Frame 1.6x Anamorphic Lens as it has 82mm front filter threads. As the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens uses smaller 67mm front filter threads, the PolarPro 67mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop), B&H # PO6769VNDED2, would instead be compatible for use with the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens.
