Tiffen 82VND 82mm Variable Neutral Density Camera Lens Filter-Gray

Product Information

Instead of the usual range of multiple filter sizes, there are only two core versions of the Syrp filter: a 67mm and an 82mm. The former comes in the Small kit option, which includes adapter rings to mount the filter to 58mm and 52mm lenses, while the 82mm Large kit contains 77mm and 72mm adapters. Variable density filters can also increase the amount of boke when shooting in the over-lit conditions, thus, preventing the image from overexposure. The difference with the previous HOYA Variable Density filter is the newly designed rotatable frame with convenient knob, allowing for better operation. Why variable density filters are important Does not give you common image issues that many other filters can give, including the “X” cross on images.

The filter rotating ring goes between ND2 and ND400 to give you enough versatility to change light.On the other hand, a variable ND filter has markings on its frame that bear its minimum and maximum light adjustment levels, i.e., density ranges. It allows you to adjust from ND2 (the lowest level) to ND400 (the highest level). Finally the graduated neutral density filter is available solely in rectangular form, for smaller rangefinder systems or mirrorless and DSLR systems. A graduated ND is clear on one half and gradually fades to darker on the other. These are used to balance high dynamic scenes typically found in landscape photography where the sky is brighter than the ground below. Graduated versions come in different strengths or stops of light. Many people believe that an extra layer of glass causes issues with your pictures and video, where quality is concerned. We’ve taken the test and found that lens filters do not adversely affect image quality. As its name suggests, a polarizer filter removes the polarizing light from a scene, such as glare and reflections. And by doing this you’ll get stronger, more saturated colours. The most common result is a deeper blue sky.

So the Syrp offers a lot of flexibility. It also provides near flawless quality in both build and performance. And like the B+W, front coating on the filter makes it water and dust resistant. There are some subtle differences in image quality between variable ND filters and traditional fixed ND filters. Stills shooters looking for big-resolution, high-quality images (think landscape photographers) will typically opt for a fixed ND filter. Videographers or photojournalists and street and travel photographers might opt for a variable ND filter. In most instances, a variable ND filter will deliver the image quality you want. But in a few conditions it can struggle. With reflective surfaces, for instance, a variable ND filter may produce odd tones as you change the strength. There’s also the issue that with a variable ND filter you are shooting through more layers of glass than you are with a fixed ND filter. This means you can sometimes get softer images. Then again, with a variable ND filter you might find that you get shots you wouldn’t ordinarily be able to achieve because you don’t have a full set of filter or the time to keep changing them one-by-one.

Also, Variable ND Filter does not pose any threat to polarization which means color balance is always going to be great, unlike other ND Filters. Also, this filter is highly flexible and convenient to use – one of the reasons why it is an ideal choice for pro photography work. What are the advantages of using a Variable ND Filter? And the coatings here are really something to highlight. People often ask, and the key difference between Lee’s Stopper range and the ProGlass IRND filters is that the ProGlass filters have a surface coating and there’s no dye mixed through the glass. This is a more expensive process but it means that the filter doesn’t cause vignetting with wide-angle lenses. A slight textured edge to the front element makes adjustment easy, and there are clear markings between the minimum and maximum points. This best variable ND filter is the K&F concept 82mm fader ND filter. This professional quality variable ND is sure to impress. Features & Specifications
