This 82mm Syrp Super Dark Variable ND Filter 82mm Kitfrom Syrp Super Dark Variable ND Filter 82mm Kitincludes a solid variable neutral density filter that can be directly attached to a lens with 82mm front filter threads and provides an exposure reduction of 5 to 10 stops. The 1.5 to 3.0 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring, helping you to predetermine the additional exposure length required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes multiple layers of anti-reflection coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) also offers greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. A Nano coating provides an additional eighth layer over the MRC, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

The included solid variable neutral density filter is constructed from Asahi glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity. The filter rings are made from aluminum alloy for durability while remaining lightweight, and for easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually demarcated with index numbers that indicate different exposure-reduction values.

Also provided is a microfiber cleaning cloth, a zippered, leather storage pouch and two, aluminum-alloy step-up rings that allow the filter to be used on lenses with 77mm or 72mm front filter threads.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does these have 82mm threads on the front to attach a lens hood?

A: I'm sorry, no.

Q: 2. Will this filter ever come in grade 1/8 black mist?

A: PolarPro 1/4 Black Mist blooms highlights by a similar amount as a PolarPro 1/8 Gold Mist. The difference is the gold mist has a warmer tone to the bloomed highlights. PolarPro does not make the PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter (82mm, 2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/4) in 1/8 grade. They say that if they made Black Mist in 1/8 grade it may not show any effect in certain situations.

Q: 3. What size Push-On lens cap do I need for this filter? The frame of the filter seems to be larger than 82mm

A: If you are planning on keeping the step ring on while you shooting yes you will have to buy an 82mm cap

Q: 4. Can these filters be stacked on each other?

A: Yes, the filters on the NiSi Swift FS ND Filter Kit (82mm) can be stacked on each other.

Q: 5. Would these work on Lenses that have a 58mm Filter thread?

A: Unfortunately, PolarPro does not have a 58mm adapter ring for the PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter for Helix Maglock (2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/4).

Q: 6. Can anyone confirmed which version this is? B&H photos show the stop indicators on the side as being lines, but reviews show the indicators being actual numbers.

A: that is an older photo, yes it has numbers.

Q: 7. Will the Haida magnetic vnd filters vignette on a 15mm lens? I have the Laowa 15mm f/4 macro.

A: The Haida 77mm NanoPro Magnetic Interchangeable Variable ND 2-Filter Kit could possibly cause slight vignetting using the 15mm lens.

Q: 8. Does this have a front thread?

A: Yes this filter has a front thread.

Q: 9. What is the difference between Helix and Helix Maglock?

A: There is no difference between PolarPro Helix and PolarPro Helix Maglock. They are the same. They just added the name MagLock so customers know you can lock the filter after it is attached.

Q: 10. How is focusing done with this filter?

A: Prefocus with the filter on, then switch your auto focus to manual focus so that your focus doesn't shift as the ND is too dark for your camera to find focus. Then screw on the ND and your image should be in focus
