DESCRIPTION

By blocking 1 to 8.66 f-stops, you can use wider apertures in variable light for shallower depth of field effects, and slower shutter speeds for long exposure effects without overexposing your images.

Cinematographers can use our ND2–400 Variable ND Filter to create more cinematic effects in low and bright light.

For wide-angle and telephoto lenses, we recommend our Variable ND2-32, ND8-128, ND64-1000 or fixed ND filters.

How to Use

Variable ND2-400 (1-8.65 Stop) Filter

1/5

Find your filter size
Inquisitively search lens for diameter symbol. Ø often marks the spot. The diameter you seek may be accompanied by a number – Ø58 or Ø58mm. Look to the side and the front – this precious number is your filter size. Be warned: your lens focal length (e.g. 18-55mm) is not your filter size.

2/5

Place flat and screw clockwise
Excitedly behold lens in one hand and place flat on lens. Gently screw clockwise until just firm. Do not over-tighten that which goes on must one day come off.

Slow your shutter

4/5

Open your aperture
Or, you can adjust for the darkening by opening up your aperture, which creates a shallower depth of field. You can also combine both exposure setting adjustments.

I love Urth filters.

I have gone down the Urth filters road, and love it. I have no interest in changing brands, or filter systems. The fact that Urth plant trees is an important fact also.

everyday tool

Make everyday production easy - both for video and photos - you'll easily get the correct exposure, and with the built quality this high you will keep using it.

I own both the old and new versions, and every version just gets better.
