The 67mm NUANCES Variable ND Filter from Cokin is designed to mount onto lenses with 67mm front filter threads and provides an exposure reduction of 5 to 10 stops. Its density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring, helping you to predetermine the additional exposure length required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, 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 dots and includes a rotation lever to further enable fast and precise positioning of the front ring.

This filter is constructed from Schott B270 glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity, and each glass surface features 16 layers of Cokin's EVERCLEAR 5 anti-reflection coating. These coatings are resistant to oil, dust, dirt, and scratches, offering greater protection to the filter and helping it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The coatings are also hydrophobic, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

Q: 1. Does this filter have click stops for each ND stop? If so, do the click stops work even when the set screw/knob is removed?

A: No, the filter has no stopping when changing the filter strength. It is smooth throughout, with no hard stop.

Q: 2. What is the difference between the Peter McKinnon Signature Edition PolarPro 77-6/9 filter for 249.99 vs. the one for 299.99?

A: The Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II ($249.99) is the newer variant of the filter. It has a haptic feedback mechanism that clicks to indicate when you've reached the next or previous stop. The ring is also a bit more gold than it's predecessor and comes in a smaller environmental friendly package. The older version ($299) comes in a bigger fancier box, does not have the haptic feedback and is optically the same as the newer variant. If I were you, I would go with the Signature Edition II, it's cheaper and it's the most updated version of the filter.

Q: 3. What's the front filter thread size of this filter?

Q: 6. so if I put this on an f4 lens does that make it an f2 lens

A: The filter does not change the aperture of the lens. It reduces the amount of light that reaches the lens by 2 to 5 stops depending on where it is set. In essence, it would change your f4 lens into an f8-22 depending on the density level you choose.

Q: 7. Does it have a hard stop in each end of the scale? And does it have front filter threads?
