NEEWER NW SERIES S 43mm Variable ND2–ND32 and CPL Filter

Variable: The NEEWER NW SERIES S is a 43mm camera-lens filter combining adjustable neutral density and circular polarising functions. Its ND range is listed as ND2 to ND32, while the CPL function is selected by rotating the filter, so it can reduce incoming light and glare without swapping between separate filters.

Pros and cons

Pros

Combines two filter functions, reducing the need to carry and switch between separate ND and CPL filters.
The hand-knob adjustment is described as allowing exposure and polarisation changes while the filter remains mounted.
The stated 1-to-5-stop range offers variable light reduction for compatible camera setups.

Cons

The manufacturer warns that maximum-aperture use can produce an X-shaped black cross with some lens and focal-length combinations.
The integrated hand knob makes the filter incompatible with a lens hood, according to the listing.

What to know before buying

Confirm that the lens has a 43mm filter thread. The manufacturer warns that maximum aperture may produce an X-shaped black cross with some lenses and focal lengths. The integrated hand knob is stated to prevent use with a lens hood. The listing also includes camera-style fields describing a 43mm screen, LCD display and MP4 video format, which do not fit the described lens filter and should not be treated as verified filter capabilities.

Customer feedback reports sharp, clear images, natural-looking colour, ease of adjustment and usefulness across different lenses. This aligns with the intended combination of adjustable ND and CPL functions, but experiences may differ, and the manufacturer separately warns of a possible X-shaped cross at maximum aperture with some lens and focal-length combinations. The overall rating distribution is mostly five- and four-star, with a smaller spread of lower ratings, but those ratings do not establish the cause of any concerns.

Positive themes
