This 82mm Haida NanoPro MC ND Filter 82mm 12-Stopfrom Haida NanoPro MC ND Filter 82mm 12-Stopprovides a 12-stop exposure reduction. Its 3.6 optical 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.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings, which also offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help keep it clean for a longer period of time. The Nano coating associated with the Haida 82mm NanoPro MC Solid Neutral Density 3.6 Filter provides an additional layer that results in an improved beading effect when the surface comes in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

A thin, aluminum-alloy filter ring minimizes the potential for vignetting, while remaining durable and lightweight.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. does this filter include a gasket?

A: No, this ND filter does not have a gasket.

Q: 2. How does this type of filter compare to NISI Solid ND filter with the same f-stop? Thank you.

A: The NiSi 100 x 100mm Nano IRND 3.0 Filter (10-Stop) offers a nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light over the Haida 100 x 100mm Red Diamond ND 3.0 Filter. Otherwise, they reduce the light by the same amount of stops, are of the same thickness, and offer a hydrophobic coating.

Q: 3. Is this filter multi-coated?

A: Yes, the Haida 58mm NanoPro Magnetic Interchangeable Variable ND 2-Filter Kit would be multi-coated.

Q: 4. Does the 95mm version of a fine thread (old/standard) or a coarse thread (Canon 28-70 F/2, Sony Super Telephoto, etc)?

A: Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (95mm) like most filters that size is course. Most lenses 95mm and larger filter threads are all course.

Q: 5. is the level detachable? If so, can I still use the lens hood on my rf 24-105mm without the level?

A: The lever is detachable but the filter ring is too large to be used inside the Canon hood. A screw on hood could be used instead such as this: https://bhpho.to/35j7SrF

Q: 6. Are these compatible with the freewell magnetic filter system so I can stack or use with other filters or the freewell adapter ring?

A: No, the Haida NanoPro Magnetic Clear Night Filter without Adapter Ring (82mm) only works with the Haida system.

Q: 7. Can a Haida M10 drop in circular polarizer be used at the same time as an M10 Drop in ND filter in the M10 filter holder?

A: They can't. These drop in NDs go in the same spot where the drop in polarizer goes so if you want to use the drop in polarizer and the ND at the same time you need to get 100mm x 100mm 2mm thick NDs. Those square NDs you will go in a different slot than the drop in polarizer will go.

Q: 8. How does this compare to regular Haida nano pro nd filters?

A: The Red Diamond version has shock resistant K9 optical glass construction and 10 additional scratch-resistant hydrophobic coatings on each glass surface to further protect the filter substrate and result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil for greater cleaning efficiency.

Q: 9. Does this filter work with any other metal UV filter placed on the lens?

A: Unfortunately, the Haida NanoPro Magnetic Clear Night Filter (82mm) does not work with any other metal UV filter placed on the lens. It requires the Haida 82mm Magnetic Adapter Ring screwed onto the lens or the front of your UV filter if it has 82mm diameter filter threads and then you can use the Haida NanoPro Magnetic Clear Night Filter (82mm) over the adapter ring. https://bhpho.to/3xTA7FZ

Q: 10. is there any baffling at the filter edges?

A: Yes the Haida 150 x 150mm ND 3.6 Filter (12-Stop) comes with a gasket to prevent light leaks on the edges.
