Experience unparalleled color fidelity and peerless image quality with the 72mm 6-Stop X4 Neutral Density (ND) Filter, a premium choice for the discerning landscape photographer seeking to master light and exposure. Our relentless pursuit of perfection has culminated in the X4 ND's exceptional color neutrality, setting a new benchmark in the industry for color accuracy and optical precision.Crafted with SCHOTT Superwhite B270 optical glass, renowned for its ultra-clear properties and superior light transmission across the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrums, this ND filter ensures your images retain the highest fidelity. The continuous draw glass manufacturing process yields a pristine surface that is perfectly receptive to our advanced MRC and nanotec coatings.Our state-of-the-art multi-resistant coating (MRC16) is applied to both sides of the glass, enhancing durability and reducing reflections to a minimum. This innovative 16-layer coating process ensures that less light is lost, boosting contrast and color vibrancy in your photographs. The result is a noticeable improvement in image clarity, free from the common issues of low light transmission and unwanted flaring.Designed to endure the rigors of fieldwork, the X4 ND filter boasts a weather-sealed construction that stands up to extreme conditions, including wind, saltwater, dust, and other abrasive elements. The nanotec Nano Coatings Technology further fortifies the filter by repelling water and resisting smearing, ensuring your filter remains clean and functional in any environment.The X4 ND's breakthrough design extends to its robust filter frame, meticulously engineered from high-quality brass and featuring our signature traction frame. This thoughtful design allows for effortless attachment and secure operation, even when wearing gloves in challenging weather conditions.Unlike many neutral density filters that suffer from a pronounced blue or magenta color cast, especially at higher ND factors, the X4 ND filter achieves the most color-neutral performance through an innovative manufacturing process that deviates from conventional methods. Our rigorous testing with transmission curve spectrometers confirms the X4 ND's superior color neutrality, with a transmission curve that remains flat and consistent through the visible spectrum and into infrared wavelengths.Embrace the world's most color-neutral ND filter, guaranteed to deliver the professional results you demand. The 72mm 6-Stop X4 Neutral Density Filter by Breakthrough Photography is the reliable, high-quality, and durable choice for photographers who refuse to compromise on image quality.

This ND filter is perfectly neutral with no discernible color cast, just as advertised. Image quality is not impacted. It is well built and screws onto and off of the lens easily. When stacked on top of the Breakthrough UV/protection filter there is no vignette at 24mm on my Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L lens. The lens cap and lens hood fit without interference. This 6-stop filter is just a tad more than six stops requiring a +1/3-stop adjustment to exactly match the exposure without the filter. Overall, a very impressive piece of gear.

Almost Perfect

Breakthrough Photography filters have been reliably high-quality products for me and this one is no different.

Great filter with nearly zero color shift

So far it?s worked great. No color casting.

Breakthrough Photography?s X4 series ND filters are excellent. Minimal tint and no vignette. I can?t recommend them enough. I have them for all my lenses. Great product!

Excellent Filters!

Breakthrough makes the best Optical filter glass on the planet.  As a professional photographer, I need edge to edge sharpness that doesnt fall off or distort, or refract in odd ways that cheaper filters do.  For long exposures - this is my go to filter of Choice,
Like:  Highest quality in a thin filter.  
Dislike: High price for quality - but worth it, for excellent results everytime.

Pro photographer filter of choice for long exp!

Love this filter. Excellent filter that's sharp and doesn't have any color gradient.

Great filter

Top quality ND filter.  Brass threads.  Highest quality glass. Happy with purchase.

When only the best quality will do!

Breakthrough Filter

It's a filter.  It does what it is supposed to do.  What else do you need to know?

Excellent Filter

Great filter. No Color shifting.

Great quality. This filter doesn?t seem to impact the color or sharpness of photos.

Awesome filter

Great filter. Well built and with brass threads very easy to install and remove. No color fringing or distortion as far as I can tell. Packaging and case is pretty basic, but that?s my only minor complaint.

Solid performance

I have not had a chance to use this but I can say build quality I give it 5 stars the grooves are really nice for gripping and I'm sure the glass will be vary good I have a feeling I will be picking up more. packing and shipping no complaints Adorama custmer service THE BEST

AWESOME

Excellent filter. Expensive but so is the lens I use it with. Very clear no distortion accurate color

Best ND ever

I didn't even know these existed, but it turned out to be perfect for the application!

Just the ticket!

Excellent quality filter with almost no vignetting

Excellent Quality!

Once you have the best, it’s hard to consider anything else. I have a 10 stop and a 6 stop. Can’t recommend this filter enough.

Top quality, build and clarity.

Have only used this bad boy once so far, but it was AWESOME. Also, incredibly easy to thread on and off. No perceptible color shift really at all. Definitely worth the price tag.

Excellent ND filter

Easy to use, with serrated edge. No color cast. I have a 6 stop ND and can stack if needed. Would recommend.

Excellent choice

This is my first breakthrough filter I have purchased. I purchased it because of the good reviews. I have only used it a couple of times and it did not disappoint. My favorite feature of this filter is the wide band that has a very deep rib around it that makes it ever so easy to take off the camera. I will continue to purchase these filters for their quality and ease of removal. Thank you Breakthrough.

Quality lens and easy to remove

Best and most color neutral filters on the market. Easy to grip to install and remove too. The Schott glass of the X4s compliment the finest glass of our lenses with zero degradation

Best I've ever used!

Can't recommend this enough! Great product with little to no effect on color and nice brass finish! Definitely worth every bit of its pricetag!

Best filters in the game!

Appears to be well built and the "traction frame" really does make it easier to grip when threading on or off of a lens. I have only used it a couple of times so far, but have not noticed any color cast or had any other performance issues. As I can see no faults at this point I would give it a full five stars.

Quality addition to my kit

Fantastic filters, well worth the price.The results are very rewarding.I find the filters also quite resilient to all sorts of weather such as rain, salt water etc.

Fantastic filters!

I haven't had chance to use it yet, but build quality is solid.

Well built filter

I’m a hybrid shooter (pictures/video) and considered these filters for a while. I started with cheap filters as I learned which was ok w/proper WB but some of that color shift always seemed to linger.

I have tried medium priced options as well, and variable ND’s. They are ok, but honestly not a huge jump from just the cheap $30 solid ND set I had started with. 

People say VND is the way to go for video shooters, but it just doesn't make sense as most of the quality VND’s are 2-5 stops, and then 6-9 stops so you wind up switching filters anyways. 

So I opted for top quality solid ND’s in 3/6 stop. This covers most uses, and just bump up ISO a bit at worst. Very happy with color. Saves so much time in post, time is money! On Sony A7iii with 16-35GM no vignette at 16mm. 

Glad I went with this over variable ND’s (which may have their place), but quality wins over trying to avoid a 5 second filter change in my opinion.

An awesome filter, little to no color cast, great build quality!

Fit and finish are exceptional, true colors and the brass ring/threads are top quality!
