Fixed ND Filters

A Fixed ND (Neutral Density) lens filter is designed to cut down the light entering your camera without altering colours. It's great for managing exposure in bright conditions and helps achieve creative photographic effects.

Your choice of ND filter strength should be based on the lighting conditions and the effect you're after. Common options are ND2 for overcast days, ND4 for partially sunny conditions, and ND8 for fully sunny days. It's a good idea to experiment to find what works best for your photography.

Yes, you can layer fixed ND filters to further reduce light. But be careful, as too much stacking might negatively affect image quality.

Start by using a blower to get rid of loose particles on your fixed ND filter. Then, for a more thorough clean, gently wipe it with a microfiber cloth. If you encounter tough dirt, apply a lens cleaning solution, but sparingly. Remember to avoid causing any scratches.

While technically possible, stacking Fixed ND Filters may introduce unwanted colour shifts, vignetting, and optical issues. It's generally recommended to use a single high-quality filter with the desired density rather than stacking multiple filters for optimal image quality.
