Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the front thread turn when adjusting the ND level or stay static?

A: Yes, the front ring rotates when adjusting ND on the Schneider True-Match Vari-ND MKII Variable Neutral Density Filter (82mm).

Q: 2. How does it compare to B+W Vario ND 1-5? What is the front size? B+W's front size is designed at 86mm for less vignette. Even so, I did find vigenette at 24mm on my 24-105 lens. How about the color shifting? B+W is shifting green on 1-3 stops.

A: The front filter thread of this filter is 82mm. Most filters will begin to vignette to some degree at 24mm. Color shift is nearly always present when using variable ND filters, but how much varies between filters.

Q: 3. Will the lens hood of the Sony 70-200 GMII fit with this filter installed?

A: The Schneider True-Match Vari-ND MKII Variable Neutral Density Filter (77mm) front threads are 77mm. Since the filter does not expand in the front ring, you can keep the lens hood on the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens attached.

Q: 4. Is this the Mist Edition or the Signature Edition?

A: This filter is from the PolarPro Signature Edition II line. :)

Q: 5. If you use this Variable ND Filter on a Sony 200-600mm Lens, can you still put the lens hood on?

A: yes the Lens hood has a cutout that allows you to rotate the variable nd filter

Q: 6. Do I need an additional accessory to use this on my Sony 70-200 f2.8 GMII?

A: No, the PolarPro 77mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) will screw onto the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens directly.

Q: 7. Will these caps fit over the Tiffen 77mm or 82mm Variable ND?

A: Unfortunately no. The K&F Concept Soft Silicone Cap for Variable ND Filters (77mm) will only fit the K&F variable ND 77mm filters.

Q: 8. Does this filter stop at each end of the adjustment or does it rotate past the end of each adjustment?

A: There are stops at each end on the B+W True-Match Vari-ND MK II Variable ND Filter.

Q: 9. The overview for this Variable ND filter states that the effect is achieved by "...stacking highly neutral gray polarizing filters..." If so, will this filter also work as a good polarizing filter? I need a polarizer + ND filter for waterfall photography, so I was wondering whether a separate polarizing filter is needed in combination with this filter.

A: The Schneider True-Match Vari-ND MKII Variable Neutral Density Filter (82mm) does not act as a Polarizing Filter. A separate Polarizing Filter is necessary to get the Polarizing effect.

Q: 10. What material is it made out of?

A: The ring is made of brass.
