Good glass and works fine. However, it is not exact size and therefore the Canon lens cover does not fit it. I do not like having to leave the lens uncovered as I walk.

This variable ND filter is the best I have ever used by far. No distortion X mark at the highest setting and crystal clear image. No vignette just a beautifully made ND filter. You have to pay to get good quality there is no way around it. If you have sharp lenses this is a must.

I bought the 77mm. Nice building quality, easy to use, no cross polarization but vignetting below 35mm on a full frame. I should have bought the 82mm or polar pro.

I was hoping it fits on my newly purchased Canon 24-70 mm ultrasonic version2, this filter fits but then my Canon EW -88 lens hood wont fit .This filter makes your pic more darker and is only good on bright light.I used it only after purchasing it after a month after purchasing from adorama and is unable to return.

A variable ND filter is needed if your going to shoot in log outdoors at a native ISO or if you are doing pics with the clouds moving in the sky. This B +W delivers great quality glass with out shifting your color! It's well worth the money!

I shoot outdoors in bright sunlight a lot of the time, so ND is a necessity and I love variable ND filters. The B&W is a good product for most conditions. A better product would be less dark in the first setting but then I didn't pay more so I can't complain. With this filter you will be taking off the filter when you shoot from a shaded spot on a bright day.

Versatile filter for unpredictable lighting
By Lyndon L.
This is a versatile and practical solution for outdoor photography when you can?t predict the lighting. I use it for landscape photography, especially waterfalls and snow.
Because precision and adaptability are key in photography, the 49mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter offers an unparalleled level of control over your images. This high-quality filter features an adjustable density control, enabling photographers to fine-tune the amount of light that passes through the lens with a variable range of 0.3 to 1.5 (1 to 5 stops). The XS-Pro mount is designed with an index setting, allowing for precise adjustments to the desired level of density, ensuring each shot is captured with the correct exposure.
Crafted for durability and effectiveness, the filter's versatile design means it can be combined with additional B+W ND filters of fixed value, providing even greater density options for those challenging lighting scenarios. When stacking filters, the ND Vario should be positioned as the outermost filter to maintain optimal image quality.
The B+W XS-Pro ND Vario filters boast a multi-resistant coating (MRC) with nano technology, which adds an extra layer of protection against the elements. This advanced coating technology enhances image clarity by reducing lens flare and ghosting, and the nano coating's lotus effect increases water repellency, making the filter easier to clean and maintain.
Designed with an EW (extra-wide) mount, the filter minimizes the risk of vignetting, making it suitable for use with most 17mm lenses on a full-frame body. However, due to the vast array of equipment specifications, B+W recommends conducting personal tests to confirm the filter's performance with your specific gear.
The 49mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter is an essential tool for photographers seeking to achieve creative effects such as motion blur in bright daylight or a shallow depth of field without overexposure. Its easy-to-use functionality and robust construction make it a reliable choice for both amateur and professional photographers aiming to elevate their craft.
