Explore the creative possibilities in photography with the B+W Neutral Density Filter, featuring a 6 f-stop reduction. Crafted to provide exceptional control over exposure and depth of field, B+W ND filter enhances image quality while preserving color fidelity. Ideal for landscapes and motion blur effects, the B+W ND filter is the professional's choice for capturing stunning imagery
This B+W ND filter, which reduces light entering the camera by six f-stops, already qualifies as an extreme filter. With this filter, and without changing the aperture (and DOF), an exposure time of 1/60 s becomes a full second. Running water is rendered hazy and soft. A tripod is necessary in any case.
With the thin-film technology developed here, not only the pure ND filter effect comes into play, but a coating combination optimizes the ND filter. In addition to the filter effect, the coating combination contains a multi-layer anti-reflective component with 7 layers per filter side to prevent annoying reflections. An outer layer with the usual dirt- and water-repellent properties is applied as the final layer. This not only provides all-around protection for the filter, but also makes it easy to clean and maintain the filter pane. The light attenuation itself is very uniform over the entire visible range and produces optimally color-neutral image results.
For beginners it can be a challenge to achieve optimal results with ND Filters at first. There are a few things to consider and often it is necessary to maintain perfect conditions over a longer period. With these tips, you’ll have everything you need to get fantastic shots right from the very beginning!
For more than 90 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.
