Heliopan ND Filter (46mm, 2-Stop)
Key Features
  • 0.6 Optical Density
  • Multicoated
  • Schott Glass
  • Brass Ring
This 2-stop, 46mm Heliopan ND Filter is an ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

Heliopan Neutral Density Filter Overview

This 2-stop, 46mm Heliopan ND Filter is an ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes four layers of anti-reflection coating. Together, these eight coatings offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.

This Heliopan neutral density filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity and features a brass filter ring for enhanced durability and jamming prevention.

Heliopan Neutral Density Filter Reviews

I bought this filter to use for photographing the total solar eclipse. It worked great and I am very happy with my purchase.

Heliopan Bay 2 ND 4 stop filter

I acquired this filter for my old Rolleiflex 3.5 F. Intended uses are for longer exposure times with moving water and narrower depth of field in brilliant lighting. Given the times, I am off to a slow start. But I have used ND filters before.
