The 77mm Mark II Variable Neutral Density Filter from Fader Filters is a remarkable tool to have on hand. With one filter, you can dial in the degree of neutral density that suits your need. No more having to buy multiple ND filters and lugging them around in your gear bag. The cost-effectiveness of this filter is self-evident. The glass is multi-coated to help prevent flare and ghosting on the camera's sensor. The frame is made from ionized steel for additional durability. As an added feature, the Mark II filter is indexed with lines on the filter ring to help you select the desired degree of neutral density. This filter provides neutral density from ND2 to ND400.
Neutral density filters offer you some exciting possibilities for creating images that would ordinarily not be possible. For those who enjoy blurred or motion images, this is the filter of choice since it allows you to slow down your exposure and "capture" the motion of flowing water or speeding cars, birds or athletes.
Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light reaching the film. When used with a digital camera, you can effectively see how this filter works. After the initial exposure, you can check your LCD image and then make whatever change in exposure you feel you need to enhance your image. By rotating the ring, you can either increase or decrease the ND effect. This will be especially useful when trying to achieve "blurred" or "panned" shots.
- Operates on the same principle as a Circular Polarizing Filter - rotate to the desired degree and shoot
- Filter ring is indexed (lines) to mark the degree of neutral density you choose
Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure

Comments about Fader Filters 77mm Mark II Variable Neutral Density Filter:
Works well with the Canon 50mm and 85mm Lenses. It will never work at 100% on a 24mm, or a 11-16mm, but it stills works great for what this was expected. i bought this bigger so i use different step up rings to save money.

Comments about Fader Filters 77mm Mark II Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I recieved the filter in the post about a week ago, so far it has been great.
There is a color shift when using the filter but a little color correction will sort it out if you have the time. Also, it seems like the image is a little less sharp but with the price difference in the nicer variable ND filters it is suitable for the job.

Comments about Fader Filters 77mm Mark II Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I bought this filter for use on some of my canon lenses. This filter is so well built. The glass is beautiful and allows you to still get great images when it is stopped down. Great for video. Not quite as necessary for photography.
Something to remember is that the filter fits a 77mm lens but it is actually larger than 77mm. Once this is on you can no longer put the lens cap on it. It is also difficult to use with the Canon lens hoods.
