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.

This is my third filter from B+W and they are definitely worth the money. They have a weight to them and very durable

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.
A high-quality, professional-grade tool for photographers, the 55mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter offers unparalleled control over your image exposure. This versatile filter features adjustable density control, allowing you to tailor its performance to your specific needs. With an index setting on the XS-Pro mount, you can effortlessly set the density between +1 and +5 stops, providing flexibility in a wide range of lighting conditions.
For those seeking even higher density options, this filter can be combined with additional B+W ND filters of fixed value, with the ND Vario ideally positioned as the outermost filter. This durable, effective filter is designed to reduce unwanted reflections or glare, ensuring your final image is as clear and crisp as possible.
The XS-Pro Vario ND mount boasts an EW (extra-wide) design, minimizing vignetting concerns with most 17mm lenses on a full frame body. However, as equipment specifications can vary, B+W recommends conducting your own tests to confirm results with your specific equipment.
One of the standout features of this filter is its Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) with Nano Technology. This advanced coating not only provides an extra layer of protection, but its nanotechnology-based characteristic (lotus effect) also enhances water beading, making the cleaning process simpler and faster. The MRC nano coating is harder than glass, protecting the filter from scratches during cleaning, and is also water and dirt repellent, making filter maintenance a breeze.
Available in a range of sizes from 40.5mm to 95mm, the 55mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter is a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit, offering enhanced control over exposure and image quality.
