B+W ND Vario 1-5 XS-PRO MRC Nano 82mm

Thanks to its variable density, the B+W Vario ND filter can be adjusted exactly to meet individual requirements. To this end, it comes with a continuous setting function with which the photographer can determine the required density reduction between +1 and +5 f-stops.

To prevent aberrations, the light reduction cannot be set beyond a critical level. The XS-Pro Digital ND Vario MRC nano thus guarantees professional image results, even with high filter factors. The newly developed Vario ND filter can be adapted to a wide range of subject situations and photographic requirements. Sometimes large apertures are needed in bright ambient light in order to separate a model optically from the background.

Using several minutes of exposure time, architectural photographers can make people passing through the work space “invisible”. In landscape photography, flowing water or the surface of the sea can be made to appear fluffy and soft like cotton candy.

With long exposure times, DSLR photographers should cover or close the optical viewfinder in order to avoid exposure measuring errors. At very high densities, slight color shifts in the image may occur.

These can subsequently be eliminated by using white balance or by working in RAW format in the image-processing program.

Features:
• High quality optical glass
• MRC - Multi Resistant Coating offers both protection to the glass and helps to improve light transmission and image quality
• Nano Coating promotes an improved beading effect with water for more efficient cleaning
• Oversized and slim mount helps to reduce the likelihood of vignetting with wide-angle lenses

Technical parameters:
Density: ND2 to ND32 (1 to 5 stops)
Filter (lens) diameter: 82mm
Front thread diameter: 86mm
Frame thickness: 10mm

In order to obtain even image results the focal length should not be less than 28mm.

The filter is manufactured in Germany by Schneider-Kreuznach to the highest standards with minimal tolerances.
It is packed in a soft pouch.
