Before you venture out for your next photography expedition, consider the Breakthrough Photography X2 ND Traction Filter. This 52mm filter is a must-have tool for professional photographers seeking to control light entry and achieve perfect exposure in bright conditions. Constructed with superior AGC glass from Japan, this filter is designed for durability and optimal performance. The X2 ND filter features a 3-stop density, making it an ideal choice for capturing stunning images even in the brightest environments. The filter boasts an innovative weather-sealed traction frame, a feature that simplifies the process of attaching and detaching the filter from your lens. This weather-sealed design not only enhances usability but also ensures the filter's resilience against harsh weather conditions, making it a reliable companion for outdoor photography.The X2 ND filter is further enhanced with MRC-8, a state-of-the-art multi-resistant coating. This coating, applied in four layers to each side of the optical disk, results in a total of eight MRC layers. These layers are structurally harder than the glass itself, significantly increasing the scratch resistance of the optical surfaces and extending the filter's lifespan.The X2 ND filter is meticulously CNC machined with narrow tolerances and subjected to a strict quality control process. This rigorous manufacturing approach ensures each filter is built to last, promising a minimum lifespan of 25 years.The X2 ND filter also features a 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded Traction frame profile, designed to eliminate vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups. This thoughtful design allows for the use of lens caps while avoiding the risk of vignetting, providing you with an uncompromised field of view.Each X2 Traction frame is laser engraved with unique serial numbers and lettering that won't fade or peel off, even with consistent use. This unique serial number is associated with your 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee, allowing Breakthrough to track and record any issues for future product design improvements.In conclusion, the Breakthrough Photography X2 ND Traction Filter is not just a tool but an investment in your photography journey. Its superior construction, professional optical performance, and weather-sealed durability make it a versatile and effective choice for photographers aiming for perfection.

Breakthrough's filters have never given me any issues. I can't say the same for any other filter maker.

Great company, great filter

Using a NDL can achieve some wonderful effects, but like all things in life, it?s not as easy as it seems, especially getting a perfect focus.

Lots to learn about a NDL

Excellent product - no problems at all - sure am glad I bought it from Adorama - very happy with the results.

Product Review Breakthrough ND 10 stop filter.

Absolutely fantastic.  Read this entire story, please.  I was out along the North Umpqua River in Oregon making photographs of waterfalls.  I often leave my DN filter off to compose and focus.  My 60 year-old eyes need the extra brightness.  I was screwing this filter back in when it slipped out of my fingers and fell down to the rocks.  I thought as it fell, "Well, that's it.  $100 bucks gone."  But, it bounced on its metal edge and fell to the next rock down.  Again, it hit directly on its metal edge and bounced a second time.  When it hit a rock for the third time, again, it bounced on its edge and fell even further where it landed in a crevasse in the rocks covered with fresh moss which, cupped it like a pillow.  As I climbed down to retrieve it, I was sure it would be destroyed.  But to my surprise, it was pristine.  Not a scratch or dent on it.  Its been two months since this happened and I'm still using it.  I'll never buy another brand of filter.  Any filter that can take that kind of abuse and live is worth every penny.  Buy this filter and don't look back.

Durable, durable, durable

very good filter, no color change

Love this ND filter, easy to use, no color cast on the photos, made from high quality materials. Great for long-exposures. I love it so much, I will definitely buy more Breakthrough Photography filters in the future.

10-stop that I needed

Just as advertised. Well made. Would buy again

Great ND filter

No problems. Works great. No complaints. Would buy again.

two thumbs up

two thumbs up quality

Works Great

Buy the Breakthrough Photography X2 82mm 10-Stop Neutral Density Filter! You will love it!

Love it

An excellent neutral density filter that gets the job done beautifully.

Excellent quality filter.

Great filter.  No color shift.  Easy to install and remove.

Great Filter

I have only been able to try out this filter a few times, but so far I really like i

Awesome

I have used this filter several times. It fits my Tokina 11-20mm and my Tamron G2 24-70. I am pretty much covered in my extended exposure photography. No color casting, the colors on my long exposure photos of 123 seconds look amazing.

Best ND Filter out there

This is my second filter from Breakthrough Photography. The other is their new circular polarizer. The optical and build qualities of these filters are really excellent! I have been using B+W and they are great, but I've been more impressed with these two BP filters in terms of color quality, optical quality, and material use/craftsmanship. Breakthrough Photography's customer service is unbeatable too, as is their 25 year quarantee!

Excellent filter and great value!

The first time I placed it on my lens it would not come off, and I did not over tighten.  I had to resort to using pliers on my expensive lens to remove it, and of course it was scratched so I could not return it.   Now I know what they mean "aluminum tends to bind", spend the extra money and buy the ones made in brass, but despite this the performance is good so I won't disregard this brand all together.

Good performance, bad build.

Highly recommended for lessening harsh lighting conditions by darkening exposure and allows for wider apertures.
Knurled edge provides grip to attach/detach from lens more easily.  5.5mm edge prevents vignetting..

Excellent product. I have the 6 stop and 10 stop also.

Works as expected.  Fast shipping and great communication with Adorama.

Great Deal Great Filter!

Very happy with this excellent 6 stop ND. It's surprisingly slender & light weight, and screws on and off my Nikon 16-35 quite smoothly. Best of all, I can see no appreciable color shift in RAW files, it truly deserves its neutral density title. Comes in a sturdy plastic case. Everything to like, nothing to gripe about. It will cost you, but it should be tha last 6 stop ND you'll ever need!

My new best friend

I can't get over how great it felt to screw this filter on and off. The traction that it has built into it is amazing! And the filter works just as good as any of the high end filters that I have owned in the passed!

Strong and Sturdy!

My mistake was not getting the 6 stop version
