Description

PolarPro VND Diffusion filter 2/5 stops Mist Edition 82mm PolarPro's combined VND diffusion filter corrects 2 to 5 stops of light, with the diffusion portion of the filter softening the digital focus for a smooth, ethereal look. This high-quality Mist filter is for camera lenses with an 82mm thread. The filter was created in collaboration with renowned videographer Peter McKinnon. VND Diffusion filter - Mist Edition With a variable ND filter, you have full control over the shutter speed in all lighting conditions. It also gives you better control, for example, over a smooth looking frame rate in slow motion during video recording. The four possible settings correct the light by 2 to 5 stops. This is equivalent to a ND4 to ND32 grey filter. This VND filter is ideal if you are shooting during sunrise or sunset, when the amount of light is diminishing. The diffusion part of the filter adds a dreamy and smooth look to the footage. It also gives a polished look to subjects without sacrificing contrast and colour accuracy. This soft look adds an extra layer of production value. Ideal for creative shots in documentaries, short films, music videos and other commercial projects. The golden perfection The filter is made of two pieces of PolarPro CinemaSeries glass that you can rotate over each other to let the desired amount of light fall onto your lens. The high-quality glass provides great optical quality and is completely colour-neutral. The gold- coloured aluminium mount has a laser-engraved stop indicator, so you can read exactly how many f-stops of light are stopped by the filter. When adjusting the ring to one of four settings, you feel a soft click at each stop. This haptic perception allows you to feel with your fingers that the filter has reached a different stop. This allows you to adjust the filter without taking your eyes off the camera's view finder. It also eliminates cross-polarization and vignetting, even at 16mm focal lengths. Defender360 - no fingerprints on your glass PolarPro's fog filter comes in a Defender360 case which can also serve as a lens cap. Because of the special lens cap you won't get fingerprints on the filter when you turn it on your lens. With the protective case you never have to touch the glass of the filter. The eco-friendly packaging of the Mist Edition II also includes a microfibre cleaning cloth in case you accidentally touch the glass.

  • Worth EVERY PENNY and more!
Size: 67mm Style: 2/5 stops Pattern: single
WAY better than I was expecting. I truly truly didn’t realize what I was missing until I got this. From the ease of use (taking on and off using the lens cap system), to the AWESOME lens cap (I know it’s a weird thing to point out, but I just love the rigidity and ease of use that thing offers compared to what I had been using for so long as a person who does solo gym content, always taking on and off a cheap lens cover that fell off half the time was so annoying), to the AWESOME quality and look it has. Worth every penny. So much so that I bought the 6-9 immediately after I received the 2-5. I am super happy I didn’t go cheap ... show more

  • Best ND Filter Out There
Size: 82mm Style: 2/5 stops Pattern: single
GAME CHANGER. This is an amazing product and I really can't say enough great things about it. The application process of getting it on the camera is so easy and it protests the ND filter with its built in cap design. Handles bright daylight no problem and creates images with easy transition when switching between stops. Worth the price for sure!! ... show more

  • My favorite filter!
Size: 82mm Style: 2/5 stops Pattern: single
This is an incredible filter. The build quality is amazing, you can put it on and take it off very easily, and the variability is very functional.

  • After all, got it! Very, very happy!
Size: 77mm Style: 6/9 stops Mist Pattern: single
Arrived!!!!!After2 weeks with Amazon AU-Export my package has arrived. At first I thought that it has been sent from Australia to US and then to Argentina. But I find out that wasn’t the case. It’s coming from US bus very slow. Anyway the product from PolarPro came with pristine packaging and the filters(PMVND2-5stops and 6-9stops, Mist II EDITION) itself from PolarPro are the state of art and I’am replacing all mine for Polar Pro ones. That is it!!!! Thanks Amazon and Thanks Polar Pro. ... show more

  • Expensive -- but really a nice product
Size: 82mm Style: 2/5 stops Pattern: single
I've only used these a couple of times (I bought the 2-5 stops and the 6-9 stops). No complaints so far and the hard stops are very convenient. I've learned you cant do video in full daylight using a prime lens with the aperature wide open without an ND filter.

  • Not Sure If Polar Pro is Actually Selling These
Size: 82mm Style: 6/9 stops Pattern: single
Open the box - box says 6-9 stop. The filter I got was a 2-5 stop. And it was damaged. Like what? Needed this for a shoot in a couple days.
