Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter
The Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter - This neutral density filter gives you the capability to use fast film in bright sunlight. ND filters have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. They enable the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND 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.
The filter contains "index" points to help you mark your spot. They do not represent actual ND settings , i.e. non-calibrated - but are there to help you re-set your filter when you wish to recreate the effect.
Observação! Singh-Ray cannot predict when vignetting may occur - especially with very wide angle lenses. To avoid vignetting, adjust your focal length, position, and/or composition to remove the vignetting - use your digital camera's display for reference.
- Front ring can accept a Mor-Slo 5-stop Solid ND Filter or a Cokin holder for ND Grad Filters 1
- Front Min/Max density ring lets you adjust density from 2-2/3 to 8 f/stops
Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses
- Para permitir que velocidades lentas do obturador sejam usadas, especialmente com filmes de alta velocidade, para gravar assuntos com movimento, como cachoeiras, nuvens ou carros
- Para diminuir a profundidade de campo permitindo a utilização de aberturas maiores, o que ajuda a separar o assunto do fundo.
- 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
Neutral Density Factors
- ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop)
- ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops)
- ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops)

The Singh-Ray Vari-ND Filter is a must have for those wishing to photograph water to get that smooth-flow effect. This filter gives you a choice of 2 to 8 stops, and allows you to get those 1+ second exposures when you can't drop your ISO any lower or stop your lens down to obtain the image you are trying to create. Just dial in the amount of density to suit your shutter speed or create your effect. Easy. Leave it set at 2 to focus, and dial in more if you need it. This filter is also made with a warming filter attached, so if you like that effect as well... If you only want to buy 1 ND filter, this one covers them all. Why carry 3 or 4 ND filters when you can do it with one? Granted, buying one of the others may be less expensive, but then you are confined to that single grade of neutral density. It also works awesome on those blurred ocean effects at sunset.
The only downsides to this filter are: (1) - slight vignetting at wide angles, depending on your lens. I am using it with a 24-70 f2.8 Nikkor, and the vignetting is noticeable until about 28mm. The 17-35 would experience the same thing, even with the thin mount (the one I own). I adjust my composition to account for the vignetting, and crop it out. And (2) - your factory Nikon lens cap won't work with the thin mount. If you plan on keeping this filter on your lens, I would recommend buying the slip on lens cap they offer. There are no threads on the front either, but that is not an issue for me, as I never stack filters.
Bottom line - This is not a cheap accessory, but I would recommend it as a vital part of your gear if you like blurred water effects, or need to get longer exposures. If something bad happened to mine today, I'd get another tomorrow, no question. Like most quality pieces of gear, it may cost you, but it is worth it. If you need or use ND filters, this is the one to have in your bag! (emphasis on 1! )

I have the thin mount, the product appears built with good quality. It's easy to use. However, on a full frame sensor at 24mm, the vignetting is quite bad. Need better measurements to determine exactly what focal length I can use, 35mm initially appeared fine. But this means I still need to buy another ND filter for wide angle shots.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
A must for all video shooters. It allows for smooth lighting adjustments when filming and the lighting changes. The ND also allows you to film in daylight at slow shutter speeds for video while also allowing to open your iris for shallow depth of field. I am going to buy a second one, because I just dropped mine on set and it broke.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
Just what it was advertized to do. 2-8 stop Variable-ND filter that is easy to use and relatively thin. It still will not work at wider than 20mm without creating a vignetting but I understood that when I bought it. The lens apears very crisp and has proven to be an excellent find. It is a must for slowing shutter speeds. Best variable ND on the market IMHO

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
This filter works as advertised but even with it's thin mount you can expect some significant vignetteing on a wider lens. If you need zero vignette you'll probably want to add another ND filter or two so you have some flexability.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
Easy to use and so convenient when shooting video on a dslr. I can't comment on stills with this. I have tried the Genus and didn't like it because it colored and softened the images. I also had the Heliopan but that wasn't dark enough to use my fast lenses wide open in bright sun. Great construction and the case is a nice bonus and easy to use. I'd love to find a cap for this, however. Anyway, I say splurge on this one!

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I bought this mainly to photograph waterfalls and other moving objects. It's thin, and easy to mount. It's a little expensive but seems like a great product... and it's what all the pro's use... so it must be great!

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
If you are reading the reviews and considering this purchase -do it. Seriously. I put it off for years and really wish I made this investment sooner. Knowing what I know now... all those missed shots I could have made over the last few years if only I had this filter!
If you want to blur motion or have a shallow depth of field in bright daylight -you need this filter. I'm using it on a Nikon D300s + 70-200mm f/2.8G and this filter allows me to shoot fast and wide in bright daylight. Variable 2-8 stops of control at your fingertips is like magic! The first day out with this filter I captured shots that would have been impossible otherwise.
It really would be nice if the Thin-Mount version included a cap since you can't use your regular lens cover. It doesn't so make sure you also purchase the Kaiser 80mm PUSH-ON LENS CAP - KALC80.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I've been using this ND filter for portrait work using speedlites and my 50mm F/1.2L and it works like a charm thus far! I get no vignetting from my 50L, nor on my 24-70L and it widest angle(ON CROP SENSOR! - 60D). I've also used it on a couple landscape shots just to play around and it works great :) I've seen little no no loss of sharpness or quality! Only reason I give it 4 stars is due to the fact that there are no markings on how many stops you are losing on the filter itself, you kinda just have to "guess". Other than that, flawless, can't wait to use it on full frame!

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
Great filter to have as you don't need to switch out filters and potentially miss shots when doing outdoor action photography.
Price point is higher than other variable NDs but you do get what you pay for in terms of quality and build. This is a definite must have for my camera kit and I never leave without it.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I'm using this filter on my canon 7D with the 24-70 2.8 lens. I mainly shoot video. I'm loving it! I had the light craft workshop variable nd filter but it seemed to make the focus very soft. So I decided to upgrade to this Singh-Ray, and it's perfect!

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I love how I can change the amount of light coming in on the fly. i dont need to be carrying a bunch of nd filters. Really awesome for video if you want that cinematic look. For that cinematic look, set your camera to shoot 24fps and your shutter to 1/48 or 1/50.....from there its just a matter of how wide you want the aperture to be and you can control the exposure with this product. Also quality is great......it doesn't soften the pics or video. I have a cropped sensor and it stops vinetting on my 10-22mm at around 13mm. If you got the money, I do recommend this awesome product

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I tried cheaper ND filters that seem great until you actually use them. The biggest problem that I had using a similar product was that I could not get an in-focus image no matter what. Since purchasing the Singh-Ray, I have used it on Canon 24mm, 50, 85, and 70-200, and everything works perfectly with no perceptible loss in image quality.
I use the filter exclusively for allowing me to shoot in bright sunlight at a shutter speed that is within the max sync speed of my camera and flash. I haven't tried it for landscape work so can not comment on colour shifts, etc...

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I use this product to facilitate motion effects on bright days. Using a nikon full frame camera (D700), I found vignetting somewhere below 35mm, and it seems I was able to get to close to 24mm.
The product is incredibly convenient, allowing you to achieve the shutter speed you want at a given aperture. To get the high end of the range of f-stops this product offers you would have to stack filters, which would inevitably lead to vignetting, so I don't view vignetting at wide angles a giant negative, just something to be aware of.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
Great filter. I use this filter for seascapes when I don't want to use a circular polarizer. Being able to control the stops really let's me get the type of motion blur I'm after. If you're planning to shoot streams or waterfalls consider the vari-duo, which has a built in circ polarizer to control glare.
I marked it as pricey, but the quality and ease of use makes it well worth it.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
DSLR gave the power of Depth of field to video enthusiasts. To get the Depth of field, you must shoot with aperture wide open.
In day light, that implies that too much light comes to the camera. So you would increase the shutter speed to reduce the light. But it produces a jerky effect in videos. That's why this filter is needed.
Keep the aperture wide open and the low shutter speed, and reduce the light income with this filter.

Comments about Singh-Ray 77mm (Thin Mount) Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter:
I have used the filter several times so far and after a little getting use to it, am very pleased with the results. The only negative is that max ND, the light meter stops working (not enough light) so I switched to manual exposure and everything was OK.
