The 6 to 9-stop, 62mm Freewell Mist Edition Variable ND Filter 62mm 6-9 Stopfrom Freewell Mist Edition Variable ND Filter 62mm 6-9 Stopis a 62mm, variable 6 to 9-stop neutral density filter that incorporates a 1/8 VND layer of mist diffusion. The filter darkens the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than is usually possible to reduce the depth of field or extend shutter speeds to increase image blur. When shooting video content, it allows for finer control of frame rate, exposure, and depth of field. The degree of density is controlled by rotating the front filter ring, which offers numbers representing the different stop values and haptic feedback clicks when reaching a number. The integrated 1/8 VND reduces the look of digital sharpness and enhances light bloom without sacrificing overall sharpness. Made of multicoated optical glass, this filter features a slim design to prevent vignetting in lenses down to 16mm.
