B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter
The B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 2 stop exposure. This 0.6 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 are able to 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.
B+W filters are constructed from high quality Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. They feature a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
I had the first opportunity to use this at a wedding when a last-minute family picture needed to happen under direct sunlight. I quickly set up my flash units for fill flash, installed this filter and was able to get the shutter speed below sync speed without closing the aperture too much (there were trees and a field in the background which I wanted to keep out of focus). The pictures turned out great! Used with a Canon 5D body & 24-70 F2.8L lens.
Excellent product.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
Buying 77mm ND filters is not for the faint of heart! I mainly shoot landscapes and waterfalls, so the ND filter is a must for me.
I was surprised to find this filter for the price. I've owned other B+W filters and never had an issue with any of them. It's sturdy, high performing glass, and I would buy it again.
Though I will probably upgrade to a more expensive slim mount piece of glass in the future, this one is perfect for the time being.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
Was useful in blocking out light. Mostly for me used in video mode on my DSLR camera. The .6 ND filter allows me to expose a scene at a lower f-stop and a lower shutter speed. It bothers me to see DSLR footage (even my own) that was shot with a fast shutter. That shallow depth of field look is so trendy. But to get truly beautiful cinematic shots, you have to show with a normal shutter AND a shallow depth of field. An ND filter does that for you.
The 0.6 ND allowed me to shoot a scene with ISO 100, shutter 60, and f2.5. Without the filter I had to bring the iris to f5.0.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
This B+W basic 2-stop ND has no fancy coating whatsoever, but works, really. My G lenses have every coating they need, so I went for the basic filters. But because it's a B+W, it has top quality glass and durable ring.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
This was my first B+W filter, and it will not be the last. It is very sturdy, well made, and fit perfectly on my lens. I appreciated it having threads on the front, to allow for stacking filters. An ND filter is a must have for every lens in your bag for anyone doing Landscape Photography. This one is a great tool for the money, which makes it a great value.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
This is a great filter for making video look less "electronic" and more film-like. I use it when shooting outdoors in bright light, and I often use it with a polarizing filter. In addition to improving the image, it acts as a kind of ND filter, allowing me to shoot at a lower shutter speed, which is great for timelapses.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
I bought this to use for midday shots when I needed to soften the look of Fall Creek Falls, and I liked being able to couple it with the 0.3 ND filter to get the desired look. Otherwise, it provides great light control without affecting the color.
Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
I use this filter for my canon standard lenses to balance my outdoor shuttertime while using a flash. I also use it to increase my shuttertime to motion blur subjects. It´s a good gadget to have. You might get a similar effect with a polarizing filter, but the light setting might change, if you are flashing from a certain angle.

Comments about B+W 77mm 0.6 ND 102 Filter:
