The Freewell Mist Edition Threaded Bright Day Variable ND Filter is an 82mm filter with adjustable 2 to 5 f-stop neutral density capabilities, complemented by a 1/8 VMD layer for mist diffusion. This filter effectively darkens the entire image, enabling you to capture photos with wider apertures or slower shutter speeds than typically possible. This versatility allows for a shallower depth of field or extended shutter speeds, perfect for achieving creative image blurring effects.
For video shooting, the filter provides precise control over frame rates, exposure, and depth of field, enhancing the quality of your video content. You can easily adjust the density by rotating the front filter ring, which is marked with numeric stop values and provides tactile feedback clicks at each setting.
The additional 1/8 VND layer reduces digital sharpness while enhancing the presence of light bloom, all without compromising overall image sharpness.
Crafted from multi-coated optical glass, this filter maintains excellent optical clarity. Its slim design ensures compatibility with lenses as wide as 16mm without causing vignetting, making it a versatile tool for photographers and videographers alike.
