Questions & Answers

Jacob C : is there a repair center or procedure to repair this filter?. Back glass became loose and the variation is non operative.
JAMES T : Will this filter allow the use of a lens cap or hood?Hassan K : I think this specific filter increases the filter thread diameter once on the lens (i.e: the 82mm option will have 86mm thread on the front) so I'm guessing in most cases it won't hold a lens cap unless you use larger caps than the ones that came with your lenses. as for lens hoods, I don't think that will work either, and even if it did, it would be very difficult to adjust the ND once the hood is on.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?SEAN P : Allows aperture flexibility when shooting video at a fixed ISO (base ISO) and fixed shutter speed (at 180 degrees of frame rate).CHARLES C : B+W quality is simply among the best. If I'm going to own an expensive lens, I don't want to mask it with a cheap filter.ROBERT B : I've always been satisfied with the quality of B&W filters.FERGUS H : This filter gets a good review by Gerald Undone. His other recommendation is the PolarPro filter. The B+W is made in Germany, while the PolarPro is made in China.GARRET B : because someone hasn't invented a 1/500th sec leaf shutter 85mm for the d850 yet

Versatile filter for unpredictable lighting

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.

Canon lens cover does not fit the filter

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.

Best of the best

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.

Vignetting at 24mm

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.

B + W 82mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter - 0.3 to 1.5 (1 to 5 stops)

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.

Love this variable ND filter!

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!

Fine for most conditions

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.

Thanks to its adjustable density control, the B+W ND Vario filter can be adapted to your individual requirements. The XS-Pro mount offers an index setting, allowing the photographer to set the density between +1 and +5 stops. You may combine additional B+W ND filters of fixed value to achieve higher density choices. The ND Vario should be the outermost filter when combined with additional filters.

The B+W XS-Pro ND Vario filters are all MRC nano coated and are offered in sizes 40.5mm, 46mm, 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm and 95mm. The XS-Pro Vario ND mount is an EW (extra-wide) design and should avoid vignetting concerns with most 17mm lenses on a full frame body. As equipment specifications vary greatly, B + W advise shooting your own tests to confirm results using your specific equipment.

Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) with Nano Technology
The nano coating is an outer layer of protection that comes standard with all XS-Pro Digital MRC filters. The nanotechnology based characteristic (lotus effect) produces a better beading effect with water making the cleaning of this filter even simpler and faster than ever before. MRC nano has an improved outer (8th) layer over regular MRC. MRC by B+W is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass, so that it protects filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters) and it is also water and dirt repellent, thus facilitating filter maintenance.

This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.
