Optical Glass Multi-Coated
This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity.Each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings.technology, waterproof, scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating, effectively prevent from oil, fingerprint, scratch, protecting the valued lens.
Adjustable Neutral Density
It can provide five gear rotation adjustment neutral density filter, which can be applied to different environments. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily.
ND Filter Effects
Neutral density filter for camera Its density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required.

This filter has a horrible coprological green tint and also the number of stops is ridiculous (only 3 stops, when it was supposed to be 8 stops). It's a waste of money.

I mistakenly ordered the wrong size filter (I needed 52mm and somehow managed to order 72mm), but I've been doing photography long enough to know my away around a good quality filter when I come across one, even if I don't have a lens to attach it to (though I could pick up some step-down rings and still use it).As noted in the product description, this filter is multi-coated (very important for filters) and offers a convenient 1.5-5X continuous neutral density adjustment by rotating the filter's front ring. The glass seems optically perfect, and the action is smooth and damped just enough to ensure it stays where you set it. The inner ring is knurled to aid in removal (though from experience with polarizers, I suggest being careful not to over-tighten when installing it) and the ring has a nice soft texture to it.As an added touch, the company includes a small reference card with exposure times calculation with various ND filters (from 1 stop all the way up to 20 stops). At the low end, this is not terribly useful to me for this filter (I should usually be able to meter through the filter even at 5X), but in some situations this could be quite useful, especially with stronger filters.I didn't know this brand of filter previously, but next time I'm looking for a specific filter, I'll definitely consider it alongside my go-to brands.EDIT: One additional note. The "variable density" function of this filter appears to be accomplished by stacking two polarizing filters and allowing one to rotate. I suspected this to be the case, but was unsure until I had time to play with the filter a bit. A normal static neutral density filter does not have the same effect as a polarizing filter, though both will reduce the total amount of light entering the lens. A polarizer accepts only light polarized in one direction, which you choose by rotating the filter. If you stack two polarizers on top of one another with one rotated 90 degrees from the other, the back element will block much of the light accepted through the front element (technically not all, since polarizers are never 100 percent effective). Rotate it so that they're aligned, and the back element accepts nearly all the light from the front element. Anything in between gives a percentage of the light. This seems to be how this filter works.The filter works just fine, but be aware that polarizers have other affects on naturally polarized light (such as a blue sky, especially if you face 90 degrees from the direction of the sunlight). These effects are often quite desirable, but not always. If you need a true variable neutral density filter, you'll probably just want to get normal ND filters in various strengths and stack them.

This Haida adjustable ND filter in the 82mm filter size pairs perfectly with my Nikon 24-70mm 2.8E VR lens. An adjustable ND filter is a super useful tool that lets you dial in the perfect amount of ND to get the exposure time you want for a specific shot.I notice that this Amazon product listing doesn't specifically state the strength of this filter. At its weakest setting it is a 1.5 stop filter (halfway between ND0.3 and ND0.6), and at its max setting it's a 5 stop filter (ND 1.5). The markings on the metal ring show 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5, referencing the number of stops of light reduction. So, if a given scene meters at f/16, if you put on this filter and set it at the max setting (5 stops), you could shoot at an aperture of f/2 without adjusting shutter speed or ISO. Or let's say you're metering for shutter speed and a given scene meters at 1/30s, then using this filter at the max setting would let you use a 1 second shutter.The filter has a rotating outer ring with hard stops at either end of its range. Even at the widest end of my 24-70mm lens I don't really see any cross polarization (the "X" effect). The filter is very even throughout its range. The knurled metal rings are solidly built, easy to grip, and the outer ring turns smoothly.My experience with this filter is that it gives a strong reddish pink OR green tint depending on its orientation; the tint varies as you turn the entire filter unit, not the variable ring. Since you can't really control exactly where the filter lands when it's screwed on tightly to your particular lens, you may get a color cast and you might want to rotate (unscrew) the entire filter slightly to find the sweet spot with the least color cast. The color cast at either end of the spectrum is fixable in editing software, but it's definitely something to be aware of. If you're shooting something that demands absolute color accuracy then this filter is not your friend, but that's true of pretty much every variable ND filter (and even fixed strength ND filters to a degree).The truth is that variable ND filters can never be as good optically as fixed strength ND filters, so if you care about getting the very best image quality with the least possible color cast or unwanted polarization effects, you'll want a fixed strength filter. But, if the convenience of a variable ND filter outweighs the need for perfect image quality in your shooting setup then this Haida filter is a decent budget option.I'm glad to have this in my kit for those times when the convenience of easy ND adjustment outweighs the need for perfect image quality (mostly when I'm shooting video B-roll). It's a decent value for money as long as you're aware of the limitations of variable ND filters.

I ordered this lens filter for the Nikkor lenses that came in a Nikon DSLR camera kit designed for beginners. I also have another kit that is for a little more advanced users, but I'm just getting started with that one. I used a few lens filters years ago when I was taking a B&W film photography class, but haven't used any since receiving my digital cameras (the kits were gifts from my Dad). I'm only now beginning to invest in a set of lens filters so I can explore what they can do (and maybe take better pictures!) I was not familiar with an ND filter before finding this one through the Vine program, but after reading through product description and existing reviews, I wanted to try it. I ordered this filter in the 52 mm size that fits both the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 G AF-S and the 55-200 f/4-5.6 G AF-S zoom lenses in my kit. Although I'm new to the use of filters in DSLR photography, I am familiar with quality optics as I use them in my work This is a very well made, high quality filter lens. It is thin, light and arrived very well packaged in a case that can be used for storage. The filter mounts and dismounts easily and it rotates easily through the various stops (1.5/2/3/4/5). The thin anti-reflective coatings help protect from any environmental damage that might incur. So far, I have only tried using this on my smaller lens and it really does create some interesting effects on some of my outdoor pictures. I am happy to have found this filter and I can't wait to find out what kind of images I can create. This quality lens filter it is well worth the current cost of $39.00.
