PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Edition Variable Neutral Density 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop)

The PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Edition Variable Neutral Density 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop), designed to be mounted onto lenses with a 82mm filter thread, provides 2 to 5 stops of exposure reduction. This filter aids in darkening your image and allowing usage of a wider aperture or slower shutter speed. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. For easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually demarcated with numbers representing the different stop values and features side knurlings to further enable fast and precise positioning. To help ensure consistent exposures, the front ring is designed to prevent any rotation beyond the stop values etched on it.

This filter is constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, 16 layers of anti-reflection coatings offer scratch protection to the filter substrate while promoting clarity and color fidelity. The coatings associated with the PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Edition Variable ND 0.6 to 1.5 Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

The quartz optics are set within an aluminum-alloy filter ring assembly for durability while remaining lightweight. Both a filter case and pouch are included for storage and transport, as well as a slim cover. When used to grip the filter during installation, the cover helps to prevent fingerprints from being left on the filter's glass surfaces.

• Variable neutral density filter allows you to apply differing amounts of density from scene to scene.
• 0.6 to 1.5 neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally possible.
• Providing a reduction of 2 to 5 stops, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.
• Offers increased flexibility to use specific ISO settings or ISO films under bright ambient light.
• Provides increased exposure flexibility while using cinema or video cameras within a designated film frame rate.
• Constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability.
• Multi-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections while promoting clarity as well as color fidelity.
• Side knurlings allows the filter glass to be easily rotated.
• Front filter ring is constructed to help ensure that its rotation corresponds to the filter's exposure reduction range.
• 89mm front diameter helps to reduce the likelihood of vignetting with wide-angle lenses.
• Slim cover for enhanced grip during filter installation and prevention of fingerprints from being left on the filter's glass surfaces.
• Microfiber cloth for cleaning and maintenance.
• Plastic filter case and padded pouch for storage and transport.
