This 6-stop, 77mm QuartzLine Solid ND Filter from PolarPro is an ND filter with a 64x filter factor that provides a 6-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.8 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

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 77mm ND64 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 1.8 Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

The quartz glass is set within a brass filter ring with side knurlings. Together, the brass material and knurlings prevent jamming and provide additional strength, as well as a textured grip when mounting or removing this filter from a lens.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this filter give me rich and colorful results when doing street photography, and if so, how many stops should I go for so that I dont have to change the filter too often even if it gets dark, 3, 4 stops?... or should I go for a polarizer one? Thanks

A: Yes, it will clean up your images by saturating colors and increasing contrast. I would just go with a polarizer that would cut out about 1-2 stops.

Q: 2. Does this work with a Canon R5 24-105 lens (77mm) - and if so, can I screw it into the UV-Haze filer that I keep on this lens for protection?

A: Yes, the PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter will work with a Canon 24-105mm lens; any 77mm filter will adapt to a Canon 24-105mm lens. We highly suggest using slim-profile filters to avoid vignetting issues.

Q: 3. would this work with the tilta mini matte box if I added an extension ring in there?

A: Yes, It comes with an 82mm adapter ring.

Q: 4. Does the rear ring ever bind or cross-thread?

A: PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter is made of Brass and well built. It will not bend / cross thread under normal circumstances.

Q: 5. Quartzline is also 99. What's the difference between this and that? Wouldn't a combo be better?

A: The PolarPro 82mm ND64 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 1.8 and Circular Polarizer Filter (6-Stop) is a combination of neutral density and polarization in one filter. This provides 6-stops of exposure reduction, while the PolarPro 82mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter (B&H # POCP82Q) just provides polarization with 1.3 stops of exposure reduction. The ND and Circular Polarizer filter may makes sense for those that need an all-in-one solution. There are some that will only require a polarizer filter if they're working with a matte box or built-in ND filters.

Q: 6. Is this a variable filter? Can I move trough to 1 to 10 steps?

A: PolarPro 82mm ND1000 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 3.0 and Circular Polarizer Filter (10-Stop) is not a variable filter. It is always at 10 stop light reduction.

Q: 7. Can I stack this filter with PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) and have a great result?

A: The PolarPro 82mm ND1000 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 3.0 and Circular Polarizer Filter (10-Stop) has front 82mm filter threads so you coudl stack filters. It is never a good idea to stack a variable ND filter with another ND filter. This will reduce image quality.

Q: 8. will PolarPro 82mm ND1000 QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter (10-Stop) cause vignetting at 15mm of Canon RF 15-35 F/2.8 lens?

A: The PolarPro 82mm ND1000 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 3.0 and Circular Polarizer Filter (10-Stop) will not vignette at 15mm on the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens (Canon RF).

Q: 9. Will this filter fit with the Sony 70-200 GM Hood?

A: Yes, you will be able to attach a filter with the lens hood on.

Q: 10. Is it water resistant? Does it have water repellent coating?

A: The coatings associated with the PolarPro 82mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.
