Tiago Pimentel Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Though I never tried it, the Heliopan variND seems to be the champ with almost no color shift and tack sharp. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/765517-REG/Heliopan_707790_77mm_Vario_Neutral_Density.html Tiago Pimentel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lacey Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I've been using the Tiffen Vari ND for the last year or so and have been quite happy with it. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821125-REG/Tiffen_62VND_62mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html I haven't done any heavy testing with it, but the bits I've shot with it have been grand.

Matias Nicolas Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It depends on what is your quality standard.. Obvoisuly it's better to choose a set of 4 filters instead of one: 1 for nd.3, another for n.d6 , 1n.9, 1nd1.2, 1.5 ..etc ... With variable's nd you loose some quality: image turns a little green, and you'll have problems with sunlight coming on to your lense... But, if you only want a variable nd filter, choose allways the best brand.... Tiffen is not on your list?... yo should try that one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
