This 2 to 5-stop, 77mm Moment Variable ND Filter is designed to mount onto lenses with 77mm front filter threads. Its 0.6 to 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally possible. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring, helping you to predetermine the additional exposure length required. 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 lines 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 Schott B270 glass for enhanced clarity and color fidelity. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, while further enhancing clarity and color fidelity, each glass surface includes 15 layers of antireflection coatings. The filter is also coated for resistance to oil, static, and scratches, offering greater protection to the filter and helping it stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.

A: No, the following workflow ND 4x6 or 100mm ND filters would make a more suitable workflow. Here are the 4x6 filters that we have to offer https://bhpho.to/3I4VM76 Be mindful of the following wide angle lens look into soft transitions filters mid-range lens look into hard transitions filters

Q: 6. Does the camera have a hard time auto focusing through the filter i.e is it to dark for auto focus?

A: It is best to pre-focus manually before adjusting the filter to the desired setting.

Q: 7. Does this produce an X-Pattern at max ND?

A: It does at just beyond max, I just back it off a tiny bit and it's fine. The ND range is large enough that if you need to go beyond max, it's a sign that adjusting the ISO a touch might be a good idea.

Q: 8. What is the outside diameter? I need it to fit inside of a SmallRig mini matte box. My 82mm tiffin is too wide at 98mm. I believe it has to be less than 95mm to be compatible.

A: We measured this at the store and it measured 89.5mm on across the front element.

Q: 9. Can i use this nd filter with ir cut filters? Any negative?

A: Yes, one can use them together. One may have a slight barely noticeable color shift.

Q: 10. The photos show the filter has a very green tint. Is the filter green or is it neutral?

A: The SmallRig 77mm MRC Variable ND Filter is not a green filter. It is a varible ND filter.
