KANI Variable ND 2-64 (62mm)

Variable ND is Worth to Invest!

Variable ND filters are useful when shooting in movie mode in an environment where light levels change from moment to moment. These filters are useful in environments where it is not possible to carry a large number of filters, or for movie shooting. The range of use is from standard to telephoto shooting, and is intended for use when shooting video and when high quality is not required. Depending on the ND effect, X-shaped unevenness or bluish phenomenon may occur from wide-angle to standard side. Also, during slow shutter speeds, back-illumination from the viewfinder may affect the ND effect. It is necessary to close the eyepiece shutter before shooting. For serious photographers, a rectangular ND single-effect filter is recommended.

Uses of Variable ND

1. The main purpose of this product is to be used for video shooting, especially with digital SLR cameras. The following situations are intended to be shot without a variable filter: 1. shooting a movie in which the ND filter effect is increased and the image gradually darkens at the end of the cut, fading to black at the end.

2. Shooting movies at sunset or sunrise, or shooting in situations where the ND effect must be changed instantly, such as during typelapse photography.

3. Shooting models outdoors during the daytime with a minimum f-stop and a minimum shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. in the camera, etc., when the background will be blown out and the shooting time is limited.

☆ ND2-400 allows you to adjust the amount of light steplessly for daytime portrait photography, and allows you to shoot with a wide open f-number for strong bokeh. This is useful when shooting portraits because the picture will change if the f-number is stopped down. It also allows for smooth shooting without changing filters when shooting portraits.

Why KANI! 

KANI ND filters have the most significant feature of low color coverage. The constant color balance is also easy to use. This is a high quality variable filter with a low bluish tint, which is generally the case when the light-reducing effect is made stronger. It is usually said that it is difficult to achieve a well-balanced light-reducing effect on the entire image, but this product achieves it at a high level. Ultra-precision polishing on both sides maintains high filter flatness accuracy.
