Calumet Filter Variable ND2-400 SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers – Precision Exposure Control at Your Fingertips!

The Calumet Variable ND2-400 Filter is an excellent solution for both professionals and photography/video enthusiasts. With its adjustable ND density range from ND2 to ND400 (1 to 9 stops of light reduction), it provides precise control over exposure in varying lighting conditions. The smooth density adjustment eliminates the need for multiple filters, making it an essential tool for any photographer or videographer working creatively.

Calumet Variable filters are available in sizes from 49mm to 82mm.

Key Advantages of the NDV Filter:

• Flexible Exposure Control: Precisely adjust the amount of light entering the lens without the need to change ISO, shutter speed, or aperture.
• Smooth Density Adjustment: No need for multiple ND filters. The filter offers seamless transitions from low to high density, giving you complete control over your camera settings.
• Ideal for Filming: Enables wide aperture settings while maintaining proper exposure even in intense lighting conditions. This allows you to achieve natural motion blur and a clear separation of the subject from the background.
• Perfect for Landscape Photography: Extended exposure times enable smooth water surfaces and blurred clouds, as well as better control over depth of field.
• Outstanding for Architectural Photography: Long exposures allow you to capture disappearing people or vehicles, highlighting the beauty of the architecture in the background.

Correct Colour Technology

Equipped with Correct Colour technology, this filter has no effect on white balance or color temperature throughout the ND2-400 range, ensuring natural color reproduction without distortion.

Japanese AGC Glass – Unmatched Image Quality

The use of Japanese AGC glass guarantees a neutral impact on color temperature, preventing color shifts. Additionally, the 6H hardness of the glass ensures high resistance to mechanical damage, translating to long-lasting durability.

Ultra-Slim Design

The Calumet filter features a sleek frame made from high-quality aerospace-grade aluminum, measuring just 7.4mm in thickness. This not only provides a stylish solution but also effectively protects the lens from damage. The raised edges on the frame make it easy to attach and remove the filter, a convenient feature for fieldwork.

Protective Coatings

The Calumet Variable ND2-400 filter is equipped with 28 multi-layer coatings that ensure top-tier image quality without negatively affecting optics. Additionally, these coatings make the filter easy to clean and ensure long-term durability:

• Hydrophobic Coating: Prevents water droplets from sticking, allowing water to slide off without leaving streaks.
• Oleophobic Coating: Resists oily smudges, making them easier to remove.
• Scratch-Resistant Coating: Protects the filter from mechanical damage, ensuring prolonged use.
• Anti-Reflective Coating: Eliminates unwanted reflections and glares, enhancing image quality.

Intuitive Operation

The raised edges on the filter’s frame significantly ease installation and removal. The filter screws onto the lens – simply check the lens thread diameter (usually marked with the symbol Φ, e.g., Φ52mm) to select the appropriate size.

Additional Protection

The Calumet filter comes with a protective case, ensuring safe storage and transport, safeguarding it from accidental damage.

Versatile Usage

With its dual-thread design, the Calumet filter allows the simultaneous use of two filters or other accessories. This is an ideal solution for creative photographers and videographers who value flexibility in their gear selection for various working conditions.

The Calumet Filter Variable ND2-400 SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers is a reliable tool that enables the execution of even the most ambitious photography and filmmaking projects.
