This 77mm Ice Solid ND Filter Kit 77mm 2-10 Stopincludes 2-, 3-, 4-, -5, -6, and 10-stop filters that can be used individually or in various combinations to darken 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.

Each filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. They are each mounted within a slim, aluminum alloy filter ring which helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight. A nylon filter pouch with six padded, nonabrasive pockets and a touch-tab fastening closure is included for storage and transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the combo ND/PL also help w/ saturation/contrast as well or just glare reduction?

A: When using the variable circular polarizing section of the PolarPro 82mm ND64 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 1.8 and Circular Polarizer Filter, one can increase saturation and contrast in a photo, as well as glare reduction.

Q: 2. Since there is no extra attenuation of UV and IR wave lengths do I need to be concerned about degradation of my sensor (D850)?

A: The Ice 62mm ND100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Filter (16.5-Stop) (B&H# ICND10000062) is designed to reduce the amount of visible light able to enter the lens of the camera. However, it will also slightly attenuate UV and IR light. As with all photography-grade solar filters, it is designed to minimize any reduction in sharpness sometimes associated with adding a filter to a lens. The amount of IR and UV light hitting the sensor during a typical exposure (or even many thousands of such exposures) while taking solar photos from Earth is not sufficient to damage it. The fact that such exposures are usually performed at f/8, f/11, or at an even higher F-number also works in favor of reducing the amount of total solar radiation hitting the sensor as UV and IR light hitting aperture blades are blocked completely. In fact, the sensors of most cameras (including that of the D850) already have an IR cut filter on them. As for the warning that appears on all product pages for photography-grade solar filters, that is in relation to using optical viewing methods with a human eye. With a Nikon D850 (or other SLR/DSLR), that would mean one should not use the optical viewfinder when pointing the camera at the sun.

Q: 3. can I use this [Ice 95mm ND100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Filter (16.5-Stop) BH #ICND10000095 MFR #ICE-100K-95] filter for solar eclipse photography?

A: Yes. This can be used as a Solar Filter to photograph a Solar Eclipse.

Q: 4. Would this filter give me rich and colorful results when doing street photography, and if so, how many stops should I go for so that I dont have to change the filter too often even if it gets dark, 3, 4 stops?... or should I go for a polarizer one? Thanks

A: Yes, it will clean up your images by saturating colors and increasing contrast. I would just go with a polarizer that would cut out about 1-2 stops.

Q: 5. Will the Ice 100 x 100 mm fit the Haida M10-11 filter holder?

A: Yes, the Ice 100 x 100mm ND100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Filter (BH #ICND10000044) will fit into a Haida M10-II Filter Holder (BH #HAHD4677).

Q: 6. can i use this 95mm 16.5 STOP filter as a SOLAR filter for ECLIPSE photography?

A: Yes. This can be used as a Solar Filter to photograph a Solar Eclipse.

Q: 7. im deciding between this and the hoya pro nd 1000. which should i choose? i notice theres a pretty big price difference- $50. -thanks

A: I have been pleased with this one. I have not used the Hoya but have not found a need.

Q: 8. What is the actual coating that distinguishes the "coated" from the "non-coated" version of this filter? Is "coated" better?

A: The coating on the Ice 95mm Coated ND100000 Solid Neutral Density 5.0 Filter (16.5-Stop) helps to reduce reflections and ghosting. Having a coated filter is better so you can get better image quality.

Q: 9. Where are these made? Thanks.

A: These are manufactured in China.

Q: 10. Does this kit includes the magnetic ring?

A: SLR Magic 82mm Solid Neutral Density Filter Kit is not magnetic. The filters are attached by screwing them onto the filter ring of your lens.
