Kase VND-CPL-Black Mist Variabel 1.5-8 Stop Screw-In 77 mm

The Kase 72mm variable neutral density filter with circular polarizer and black mist effect offers precise light control with a variable density range of 1.5 to 8 stops. This professional-grade filter combines three essential photographic functions in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple filters and reducing potential image degradation from stacked glass elements. The variable ND component allows continuous adjustment of light transmission from 1.5 stops (approximately 67% light reduction) to 8 stops (approximately 99.6% light reduction), providing exceptional flexibility for exposure control in various lighting conditions. The integrated circular polarizer reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces while enhancing color saturation and contrast in landscapes and outdoor scenes. The black mist element adds subtle diffusion that softens highlights and creates a gentle glow effect without compromising overall image sharpness. Constructed from high-quality B270 optical glass with multi-layer nano-coating technology, this filter maintains excellent color accuracy and minimizes flare and ghosting. The slim aluminum frame measures approximately 72mm in diameter with a thickness of 6mm, ensuring compatibility with most lens hoods without causing vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The filter features smooth rotation for precise polarization adjustment and easy operation of the variable density control ring. This combination filter is particularly useful for videographers and photographers working in challenging lighting conditions, enabling creative control over depth of field and motion blur while maintaining optimal image quality. The durable construction and precision engineering ensure reliable performance in professional shooting environments.
