The 18-layer multi-resistant green coating on the filter serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it repels water and dust, protecting your lens. Secondly, it reduces reflections and maximizes light transmission for sharper, clearer images. Lastly, it helps to control the amount of light that reaches your camera sensor, opening up creative possibilities for your photography.
The variable ND8-ND2000 filter allows you to adjust the amount of light entering your camera lens without affecting the color balance. This enables you to use slower shutter speeds, which can create beautiful motion blur effects in subjects like waterfalls or clouds. It also helps to control exposure in bright lighting conditions.
The 'ultra-slim' design of this filter, at just 7.5mm, means it's lightweight and compact. This minimizes the chance of vignetting, a common issue with some filters where the edges of an image can darken. The slim design also ensures that the filter does not adversely affect your lens performance.
Yes, the 40.5mm Super Slim Multi-Coating Variable ND8-ND2000 Filter is versatile and can be used in various types of photography. However, it's particularly useful in situations where you want to control the amount of light entering the lens, such as in bright daylight, or when you want to create motion blur effects using slow shutter speeds.
The CNC machined ring in the 40.5mm Super Slim Multi-Coating Variable ND8-ND2000 Filter contributes to the overall durability of the filter. It's lightweight and precisely made to ensure a snug fit on your lens, preventing any adverse effects on your lens performance.

So if it does not fit inside the existing hood, as it does not on a Sigma 45mm contemporary, you will go without a hood, (because screw-ons are not supported). I could not find a slip-on for it either. Otherwise it seems OK.

Got a chance to use this for my portrait sessions. I was able to save battery life on my monolights because I didn't have to use high-speed sync. The ridged stops on the filter feel great on the fingertips. My only problem is that I can't lock in my lens hood with it on.
