This 2 to 5-stop, 77mm Moment Variable ND Filter 77mm 2-5 Stopis designed to mount onto lenses with 77mm 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.

Filter is constructed from Schott B270 glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this block IR as well for Blackmagic cameras?

A: It does not

Q: 2. Does the camera have a hard time auto focusing through the filter i.e is it to dark for auto focus?

A: It is best to pre-focus manually before adjusting the filter to the desired setting.

Q: 3. What can I use as a front cap for this item (dont tell me Schneider 86mm Push-On Cap because it does NOT fit)?

A: This Sigma LCF-86 III 86mm Lens Cap is compatible with the Genustech 82mm Variable Neutral Density and Circular Polarizer Filter. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1168370-REG

Q: 4. What can I use for a front cap for this? I've tried 86mm lens caps and they do not work.

A: You could use an 86mm push-on lens cap that doesn't have threads for the Genustech 82mm Variable Neutral Density and Circular Polarizer Filter: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/157564-REG/Schneider_91_030386_86mm_Push_On_Lens_Cap.html

Q: 5. Will this filter allow the hood to be used with the Canon RF 85mm F1.2L lens? Is their any colour shift, image loss of detail, or vignetting when using this filter with that lens?

A: The lens hood for the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L Lens can still be used along with this filter. However, it is best to adjust the filter to the desired setting prior to attaching the hood.

Q: 6. What is the outside diameter? I need it to fit inside of a SmallRig mini matte box. My 82mm tiffin is too wide at 98mm. I believe it has to be less than 95mm to be compatible.

A: We measured this at the store and it measured 89.5mm on across the front element.

Q: 7. Does it have hard stops?

A: It is smooth. Most variable ND filters are smooth so make the transition smoother in video.

Q: 8. Is this the Mist Edition or the Signature Edition?

A: This filter is from the PolarPro Signature Edition II line. :)

Q: 9. Can the adjustment knobs be removed?

A: The knobs on the Neewer 2-in-1 Variable ND2-ND32 & CPL Filter (77mm, 1 to 5-Stop) are non-removable.

Q: 10. Does this filter show IR pollution color shift on BMPCC4K?

A: We have not been able to test this filter. But it is a high quality filter that should not shift in color.
