B+W Vario ND Filter XS-Pro MRC Nano 67 mm. Flexible light control without changing filters: Because of its effect the B+W Vario ND filter can be adapted to a wide range of shooting situations and photographic requirements. Portrait photographers need for example even in bright ambient light, large apertures in order to optically separate the subject from the background. Using extremely long exposure times, architectural photographers can make people passing through the subject “invisible”. In landscape photography flowing water or the sea surface in broad daylight appears fluffy and soft when using long exposure times. Due to the long time exposure the adventurous photographer achieves a more dynamic image composition by motion blur. Working always with a fixed exposure time on a shootthe film technique often uses variable ND filters. For lenses with insufficient stopping down possibilities, especially in bright light, a variable ND filter allows matched exposure values.
Adjustable density
Thanks to its steplessly adjustable density control, the B+W Vario ND filter can be exactly adapted to individual requirements. For this purpose it comes with an index setting, allowing the photographer to set the density between +1 and +5 f-stops. The filter is optimally colour-neutral and guarantees a professional image performance without abberations. The Vario ND filter can be combined with further ND filters of fixed ND values, leading to considerably higher density values.

For more than 70 years, B+W filters have been synonymous with quality and innovation. B+W has succeeded in establishing itself as one of the world‘s leading filter manufacturers. It has, for example, made decisive progress in surface coating. B+W is the first filter manufacturer in the world to offer MRC (Multi Resistant Coating). MRC nano coating is the most innovative development in thin-layer technology. The world-famous Käsemann type polarizing filter with its outstanding quality has been produced by B+W since 1989.
