Great company, great filter

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

Lots to learn about a NDL

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.

Durable, durable, durable

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.

10-stop that I needed

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.

Best ND Filter out there

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.

Excellent filter and great value!

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!

Good performance, bad build.

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.

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

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..

My new best friend

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!

Strong and Sturdy!

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!

Great company, great filter

By Davis D.

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

The 72mm X2 ND Traction Filter, with a 6 Stop capacity, is a premium product designed for professional photographers who demand the highest quality in their equipment. Crafted with superior AGC glass from Japan, this filter is the epitome of optical excellence. The X2 ND filter is equipped with MRC-8, along with water and dust repelling nano coating layers, ensuring your images are always clear and vibrant, regardless of the environment.

Available in either 3-stop or 6-stop, the X2 ND filter is versatile and adaptable to various lighting conditions. Its weather-sealed traction frame is not just robust but also user-friendly, simplifying the process of attaching and detaching filters.

The X2 ND filter boasts a state-of-the-art multi-resistant coating, with four layers applied to each side of the optical disk. This results in a total of eight MRC layers, providing a shield that is structurally harder than the glass itself. This increases the durability of the optical surfaces by enhancing scratch resistance, making the X2 ND filter incredibly resilient and long-lasting.

Each X2 ND filter is meticulously CNC machined with narrow tolerances and undergoes a strict quality control process. This ensures an incredibly low threshold for defects, making each filter a testament to precision and quality.

The X2 ND filter features a 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded Traction frame profile, designed to eliminate vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups. This frame is laser engraved with lettering that will not fade or come off, even with consistent use. Each X2 Traction frame also carries a unique serial number, allowing for efficient tracking and issue recording, contributing to future product design.

The X2 ND filter offers weather-sealed durability, providing an essential layer of protection for your lens. As recommended by Canon, Nikon, and Sony, protective filters are crucial for maintaining the out-of-box optical performance of your lens. Without a filter, your lens is vulnerable to dust and water damage. With the X2 ND filter, you can ensure your lens remains as pristine as the day you bought it.

Breakthrough Photography X2 ND Filter Features

  • Premium AGC glass from Japan with MRC-8 for unparalleled image clarity
  • 6-stop ND filter with water and dust repelling nano coating layers
  • Weather-sealed traction frame for easy attachment and enhanced durability
  • 3.5mm ultra-slim double-threaded frame to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses
  • Laser engraved lettering with unique serial number for product tracking and quality assurance
  • Designed for longevity with a robust construction to withstand professional use
