This 2 to 5-stop, 67mm Moment Variable ND Filter 67mm 2-5 Stopis designed to mount onto lenses with 67mm front filter threads. Its 0.6 to 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally possible. 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. For easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually demarcated with lines representing the different stop values and features side knurlings to further enable fast and precise positioning. To help ensure consistent exposures, the front ring is designed to prevent any rotation beyond the stop values etched on it.

This filter is constructed from Schott B270 glass for enhanced clarity and color fidelity. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, while further enhancing clarity and color fidelity, each glass surface includes 15 layers of antireflection coatings. The filter is also coated for resistance to oil, static, and scratches, offering greater protection to the filter and helping it stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.

Variable neutral density filter allows you to apply differing amounts of density from scene to scene.

0.6 to 1.5 neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally possible.

Providing a reduction of 2 to 5 stops, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.

This filter allows for increased flexibility to use specific ISO settings or ISO films under bright ambient light.

Filter provides increased exposure flexibility while using cinema or video cameras within a designated film frame rate.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the OEM Lens hood be used while filter is on? I can still use the lens hood with the old Hoya variable ND.

A: Hoya 77mm Variable Density II Filter gets in the way of the original lens hood and it cannot be used.

Q: 2. Will this VARIO Pro Nano help with IR pollution for the Blackmagic cameras?

A: No, it will not. The NiSi 77mm True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5 Stop Variable Neutral Density Filter does not have infrared (IR) cut capability. For cinema cameras like the Blackmagic cameras, NiSi recommends their solid ND Neutral Density filter line which has IR reduction such as the NiSi 77mm PRO Nano IRND or NiSi 77mm HUC PRO Nano IRND filter lines.

Q: 3. is the front filter thread larger than the main filter thread?

A: The front of the filter will corresponds with the thread size of the lens. The Urth 77mm ND64-1000 Variable ND Lens Filter Plus+ (6 to 10 Stop) has a front thread of 77mm.

Q: 4. Which filter should i purchase to fit my Sigma 50mm and Sirui 50mm?

A: The PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop), B&H # PO8269VNDED2, listed above would be compatible for use with the Sirui 50mm T2.9 Full Frame 1.6x Anamorphic Lens as it has 82mm front filter threads. As the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens uses smaller 67mm front filter threads, the PolarPro 67mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop), B&H # PO6769VNDED2, would instead be compatible for use with the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens. As the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens has 77mm front filter threads, the PolarPro 77mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop), B&H # PO7769VNDED2, would be the correct size filter for use on the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens.

Q: 5. so if I put this on an f4 lens does that make it an f2 lens

A: The filter does not change the aperture of the lens. It reduces the amount of light that reaches the lens by 2 to 5 stops depending on where it is set. In essence, it would change your f4 lens into an f8-22 depending on the density level you choose.

Q: 6. when the 6-9 ND comes out, can it be COMBINED with the 1-5 (=14)? with threads or friction: will i need 86mm to put with 82 1-5?

A: No, you can not combine the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1 to 5-Stop Variable ND Filter (82mm) with another variable nd filter.

Q: 7. Can the hard stop be removable?

A: According to the manufacturer, the hard stops on the NiSi 82mm True Color ND-Vario Pro Nano 1-5 Stops Variable ND Filter cannot be removed. If the variable neutral density filter had no hard stops, cross-type X-banding patterns would occur in your images.

Q: 8. What is the difference between the Peter McKinnon Signature Edition PolarPro 77-6/9 filter for 249.99 vs. the one for 299.99?

A: The Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II ($249.99) is the newer variant of the filter. It has a haptic feedback mechanism that clicks to indicate when you've reached the next or previous stop. The ring is also a bit more gold than it's predecessor and comes in a smaller environmental friendly package. The older version ($299) comes in a bigger fancier box, does not have the haptic feedback and is optically the same as the newer variant. If I were you, I would go with the Signature Edition II, it's cheaper and it's the most updated version of the filter.

Q: 9. Does it have a hard stop in each end of the scale? And does it have front filter threads?

A: Yes, the Urth 77mm ND64-1000 Variable ND Lens Filter Plus+ (6 to 10 Stop) has hard stops at the end of the scales and also has front filter threads.

Q: 10. Does this filter have click stops for each ND stop? If so, do the click stops work even when the set screw/knob is removed?

A: No, the filter has no stopping when changing the filter strength. It is smooth throughout, with no hard stop.
