B+W filters are expensive but I find they are worth it compared to cheaper brands. They're glass filters and have brass filter rings.

I really enjoy using this filter. The build feels solid and I really like the quality of the images I get.

I've only used it once so far. I was taking morning photos of the cherry blossoms in DC. Allowed me to get some cloud blur in the sky and smooth the water - and it enhanced the reflections of trees and monuments in the water. It definitely did give my images a slight color cast although it was easily removed in Lightroom

Only captured less than 10 images with the filter so far, but what I see is great.

Wonderful filter. Came in perfect condition while some filters I have bought from other brands came slightly scratched. This filter does what it claims and does not product any additional glare for me. I enjoy mine.

I purchased the 1.8 and the 3.0. In the case of the 1.8, the color cast is mild. For the 3.0 it's stronger. In both cases, I can correct them in post. Would I buy them again? Possibly. If I knew of cheap filters without color cast I would go for those, but usually the expensive filters has no color cast. In fact, my camera can adjust WB and give you the option to reduce magenta. I will someday do the exercise to determine the right settings in camera (for each filter) to get the colors right when shooting, but for know, I'm correcting it in post.

Fits as expected, changes the exposure as advertised, does not distort the image or interfere with auto focus. All-around quality filter.

I purchased the B+W ND filter primarily to slow down the shutter speed while shooting moving water in bright sunlight. It achieves the desired effect without having to remove the filter to focus, unlike denser ND filters require. This helps capture images quickly when you want to selectively focus on multiple points in your composition if you plan on blending images in post. B+W filters are my preferred choice because not only because of the price point, but also because of the precise manufacturing process used in all their glass. I have found no denigration of the captured image by putting their filters in front of an expensive lens, as is the case with many less expensive filters. I highly recommend this filter if you need to decrease your exposure speed in order to get a milky, ethereal effect on landscapes that have moving water or combine it with the polarizing filter to decrease your shutter speed even more.

There is sometimes a slight color cast depending on the scene and camera settings. Easy to work around. Great filter for the price.

I have been using a variable ND filter in an effort to carry fewer accessories and use a one-size-fits all solution, but I hated the quality, reflections, thread issues, and "x" images. There is no substitute for a quality piece of equipment like this 8X multicoated ND filter. It threads smoothly onto both my 52mm lenses, and onto a Breakthrough Photography 46mm to 52mm adapter. Great image/color quality. While I didn't want to spend the money for this filter, I don't regret the purchase. What I regret is spending the money on the variable ND filter, which I should have put toward this purchase in the first place.

Can't beat the quality of a B+W filter. Feels solid, performs great. Would recommend.

Does the job of a ND filter. However, it came in a container meant for a larger filter so it does not store well in the container.

No color cast with this one. It's perfect.

Excellent quality, color and durability. Great for images, but important if you’re doing video. Variable NDs lack the quality that these static ND filters have. If image quality is important to you, you will not be disappointed.

B+W filters all the way. If you care about durability and the color of your images, this is the brand for you. I absolutely love their filters.

I love this ND filter. The build is very durable and robust. Does not drastically change color to your image like a number of yours they filters on the market. This is very important to me and why I choose to use B+W products.

@ almost 1/2 price, i couldn't go wrong. i have used this filter several times; w/ a little practice, it has not failed to produce the desired results. i would order again for my bigger lenses.

This has opened up an entirely new sharp level of creative photography. I have experimented with other ND lenses but B+W makes the best. Put it on and experience an entirely new world of photography.

Excellent filter. Great darkness for taking long exposure day photos. Clean glass, fits 77mm perfectly.

I've gone 100% B+W for all of my filter needs. They generally cost a little extra but the consistency and durability of the products is worth it. Cross threading is not an issue with these products when attaching to your lens; the rings are metal housing is as high quality as the glass.

Adorama is a company built on great products and a great reputation. This time I made a mistake when ordering filters for a Phantom drone. As their return policy states, "30 day return policy, no questions asked." Adorama has excellent customer service and that is why I bought a Panasonic GH5 kit from them last year. I will be back!

3 stop reduction in light w/ no color cast
Awesome product as always! B+W rocks!
By LEROY H.
I purchased this 6 stop ND to start working with long exposures. I have the 1, 2, & 3 stop NDs already. Most are B+W but one is a heliopan but I forget which ND. I also use the Kaismen version of B+W CPL and it is world class. I will eventually purchase the 10 stop ND for a complete collection. Since I use all 77mm FX lenses with my DX D7000 APS-C sensor camera I can stack a few filters on rare occasion if I want and not worry about lens vinette. Some of you are wondering why I dont just get...

Neutral Density filters evenly reduce the amount of light passing thru the lens without effecting color.
Ideal for reducing bright light in large aperture situations when a narrow depth is field is needed.
Allows for slower shutter speeds when blurring or showing of movement is desired.
Allows balancing of exposure to highlight a key subject.
Lets you use higher speed films in bright light.
B&W Neutral Density filters are available in most sizes and in the following strengths:
.3 (2x) Reduces the light one f-stop.
.6 (4x) Reduces the light two f-stops.
.9 (8x) Reduces the light three f-stops.
1.8 (64x) Reduces the light six f-stops
3.0 (ten f-stops) & 4.0 (seventeen f-stops) are for astronomical and sun studies.
