This 2-stop, 67mm Heliopan 67mm ND Filter 2-Stopis an ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes four layers of anti-reflection coating. Together, these eight coatings offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.

This Heliopan neutral density filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity and features a brass filter ring for enhanced durability and jamming prevention.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this fit on a Rokinon 35mm F1.4 AF Series II Full Frame Wide Angle (Sony E) Lens?

A: No, the Heliopan 35.5mm ND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) is not compatible with the 67mm filter thread of the Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 AF II Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras.

Q: 2. Will this work properly on a Leica 50mm Noctilux f/0.95?

A: Yes, the 60mm Heliopan variable ND filter attaches directly to the Leica 50mm Noctilux f/0.95. It is a great quality filter and easy to use. It is good not to need a step up ring and you can extend the built in Noctilux lens hood over the filter. However, same as BW filter, you can't use the Leica noctilux lens cap directly on it.

Q: 3. What is the weight of this filter?

A: The manufacturer does not provide the exact weight of the filter, but the shipping weight (which includes the package) is 1.6 oz. The filter itself (without the packaging) would be approximately half of that -- 0.8 oz. (23 g).

Q: 4. What if live view is used?

A: To my original answer, I should add that on a Leica M, the EXIF data will probably show a different aperture to the one on the lens.The Ms have no electrical connection between camera body and lens, so the camera infers aperture for EXIF by comparing light intensity metered at the shutter compared to the ambient light on the body. (That's what the small light meter hole on the front top of the body is for.)

Q: 5. Does this filter have hard stops? Will it be OK for video use?

A: This filter does not have hard stops but turns smoothly. I have not tried it for video but believe it would apply appropriately.

Q: 6. I've got a few questions about this heliopan ND filter i was hoping i can get help on.1. Is this a multi-coated filter?2. Will it vignette with wide angle lenses (i.e. 16-35mm Canon f4L lens)?3. does it have front filter threads?

A: Not sure on the multi coating, but I believe they are at least single coated. This filter is relatively thin, so vignetting should not be a problem on that lens. Yes, they have front filter threads. With that said, I would recommend checking out the Firecrest ND filters. They are very thin, have front threads and they have great multi coating.

Q: 7. I was hoping to use this for solar photography but I want to be safe. Is it safe to look at the sun through a Nikon d750's viewfinder with this filter? If it's not safe for me is it safe for the camera? - (eg could I use live view instead of looking through the viewfinder)

A: You can look at the sun with this filter, but taking precautions is always good. Start out by using sunglasses at first, look through as see, then without and compare, if it is comfortable you know its ok.Ive shot images of the sun looking directly though the viewfinder without issues using this filter

Q: 8. Dear All,I'm about to purchase a ND filter for Zeiss 15 f2.8Before purchase I wanna be sure 95mm filters do not produce any vignetting. Are Heliopan good for these purpose? Slim enough?I would by different ND and leverage on only one shipping cost! But for this purpose I have to be sure in advance that a single filter (multiple filters of course will produce vignetting) is okThx a lotM

A: The Heliopan 95mm Neutral Density 3.0 filter will be a great choice for the Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 lens. You should not experience vignette using this ND filter on that lens.

Q: 9. What are the meaning of the numbers from 1 to 12 on the filter? Can I use it to adjust an exact ND stop like ND8 or ND16?

A: The 1-12 scale is a half-stop scale that allows you to more precisely set the filter to 0.3 (1-stop) through 1.8 (6 stop) increments, as well as halfway in between any of those stops. It is not exactly related to ND8 or ND16 stops as those would be 0.9 (3-stops) and 1.2 (4-stops), though you could use this 1-12 scale to set those at numbers 6 and 8.

Q: 10. does this affect colors in any way? does it desaturate colors as those cheaper ND filters?

A: No, this filter does not affect coloration of the image.
