The B+W 55mm SC 101 ND 0.3 Filter (1-Stop)is a neutral density filter with a 2x filter factor that provides a 1-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.3 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. 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 one layer of anti-reflection coating. B+W filters are constructed from SCHOTT glass for increased optical clarity. This filter features a brass filter ring for durability as well as to prevent jamming.

Q: 1. I current have 55mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarize MRC Filter, can I stack this ND filter on top of the current Polarize filer ?

A: yes you can stack , I would not recommend it

Q: 2. Is this filter adaptable to a Nikon f/2.8 24-70mm VR ED and if so, how do I adapt a 40.5mm filter to the lens?

A: You can use step down rings but it would present too many problems. It will be much better for you to get the 82mm filter instead. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/871605-REG/B_W_65_1073163_82mm_3_0_ND_110.html If that is too much here's a cheaper alternative https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1109457-REG/tiffen_82nd30_82mm_axent_neutral_density.html

Q: 3. I would assume that when placing an order for these filters, the same sizing rules apply as with the UV Filters... is that correct? Do you also look at the inside/reverse side of your lens caps? Both lens caps for my Canon 18-55 mm and my Canon Zoom (75-300mm) lens Cap say they are 58mm... so I need to order 2 x 58mm UV Filters, correct?

A: That would be correct. The sizing for the ND filters (filter thread) would be the same as that for UV filters. If the reverse side of your lens caps say 58mm, then you would need to order the 58mm ND filter.

Q: 4. Why does the stock photo, depicting 'Without Filter' and'With Filter', show quite a corruption of the color with filter?
