What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The filter range is described as ND2–400 and 1–8.66 stops, while the listed filter factor is 4 x. These specifications are inconsistent, so confirm the intended range and meaning of the factor before buying. The listing also gives both 8.66 and 8.6 stops in separate descriptions. It claims a 28-layer coating that reduces reflections and resists water, dust and fingerprints, while the specifications state Not Water Resistant. The filter is not recommended for wide-angle or telephoto lenses, and a larger lens cap or hood is advised. Variable ND filters are recommended for use alone because stacking can increase vignetting and unwanted artefacts.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Photographers seeking adjustable light reduction for landscapes or long exposures, using a compatible 82mm-thread lens.
Video makers who want to adjust light reduction while keeping exposure settings more consistent.

Less suited to

Users of wide-angle or telephoto lenses, which the listing says are not recommended for this filter.
Anyone needing a filter with confirmed water resistance.

These concerns matter when judging image-critical use and handling, while the listing’s optical-glass and coating claims are product claims rather than proof of customer outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Which lenses does this filter fit?

It is listed for cameras and lenses with an 82mm filter thread. Check the thread marking on the lens before ordering.

How much light does it reduce?

The listing describes an ND2–400 range and gives light reduction as 1 to 8.66 stops, but also lists a filter factor of 4 x. These details are inconsistent, so confirm the intended specification before relying on a particular reduction.

Can I use it with a wide-angle or telephoto lens?

The listing says this variable ND filter is not recommended for wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

Can it be stacked with another filter?

The listing says variable ND filters work best alone because stacking can increase vignetting and unwanted artefacts.

Is it water resistant?

The specifications state Not Water Resistant, despite a separate coating description claiming resistance to water. The actual protection is therefore unclear.
