The Schneider 77mm True-Match Vari-ND MKII is a robust variable ND filter that provides adjustable light reduction from 0.45 to 3.45, equivalent to 1.5 to 11.5 stops. With this filter, you can use larger apertures or longer shutter speeds even in bright light - perfect for creative effects and exposure control in photo and video.
By rotating the filter ring, you can fine-tune how much light is let through. This allows you to create motion blur with slower shutter speeds or dim the light to achieve shallower depths of field with wider apertures. In bright environments, the filter allows you to maintain the desired exposure without overexposure.
The filter is based on two carefully color-matched neutral polarization filters in a compact cell. Despite the dual-frame design, the True-Match Vari-ND MKII has a thin profile of only 5.9 mm, reducing the risk of vignetting even with wide-angle lenses. The filter provides neutral color reproduction and has a clear scale to show adjustment.
