BEST ND FILTER

THE BEST! I loveeeee this filter. It makes it easier not having to constantly reset the camera settings for different environments. One thing I would do differently is just buy all the stops in one because I have both this filter and the 2-5 stop. Would 100% recommend

Worth the extra cost

This Variable ND filter to so high quality and I love it! Good at not changing color at high stops and the cover this filter comes with is so great to use. I leave this on my camera 95% of the time and never take it off.

Not perfect, but still good

Solid piece of equipment, though I wish it was smooth movement all the way through instead of "click" stops.

The hype is real

This thing is the real deal. Super clean image with no vignetting that I've seen yet, hard stops, awesome case, will never leave my bag going forward.

Amazing variable ND filter. I use it all the time and use the native ISO in the camera. Can't get better image quality than that.

Excellent

Been a long time from (you know what outfit I?m talking about) customer, but recently gave Adorama a shot and ordered my Sony A7 V with 24-70mm 2.8 couldn?t be happier, order process and items were delivered sooner than estimate delivery date. Adorama has earned my business..

Good sharpness! no flaring!

Best vnd filter ever!!! Better than my old freewell, the freewell has good sharpness but it has flaring when you face to the sun, but the polar pro doesn?t that?s the reason why I spend double price to purchase it. When you use vnd filter you mostly use your camera outside in the day, that?s why the anti-flaring is so important. Strong recommended!

Bring on the Bokeh

I absolutely love being able to pop this on to any of my lenses with an adapter ring set. Finally I'm able to shoot with those dreamy shallow depth of field videos in the mid-day sun.

Disappointing

I am very disappointed considering the price. I specifically purchased this filter for my RF 24-70mm F2.8 lens (which is very sharp) so I wouldn?t have to shoot using high-speed sync. When I need 3 stops or more, I get vignetting and my images lose sharpness. I would not use this filter on a paid shoot.

This is VERY good BUT beware... vignetting on ultra wide lenses

This is most certainly top of the line and the perfect addition to anyone's kit but I have one issue with it.. maybe it could have been avoided but I experience pretty bad vignetting on ultra wide lenses. Most of my lens are 67mm filter thread and I step up using a ring so that I can use this 77mm PMVND but from 14-19 you will most definitely see it. At 20mm it will disappear. If you have mostly 67s in your kit, go for the biggest and step up to that. Overall, amazing quality though and I wouldn't leave home without it.

Good Quality ND's

So far I have really liked these ND filters. The dedicated stops make it easy to adjust. They come with a cover that goes on easy and protects the filter while still mounted to the lens. A few years ago I purchased another brand ND at around $120 and I noticed some extreme banding in the blues when using the it at higher stops, I do not notice this with the polar pro's! I would it if Polar Pro made these into one filter but that probably has something to do with the banding. Spend the extra money and get the Polar Pro's.

Peter McKinnon Filter

It's a cool filter. Gave it 4 stars cause the price is high just to have a youtubers name behind it. You can definitely buy one cheaper with the same quality.

This Variable ND filter to so high quality and I love it! Good at not changing color at high stops and the cover this filter comes with is so great to use. I leave this on my camera 95% of the time and never take it off.

Why settle for less when you can have the best with the Peter McKinnon VND Signature Edition II 82mm 6-9 Stop Filter This is not just any filter; it's the gold standard of Variable Neutral Density (VND) filters, designed with the needs of professional photographers and videographers in mind.

This second edition of the Signature Series has been reimagined and enhanced with a unique haptic feedback mechanism. This innovative feature allows you to effortlessly adjust the stop value, ensuring precise control over the amount of light entering your lens without ever needing to take your eye off your subject.

The preset stop range of this high-quality VND filter eliminates the common issues of cross-polarization and vignetting, even when used with wide-angle lenses down to a 16mm focal length. This ensures that your images and videos maintain their quality and integrity, regardless of the shooting conditions.

The Peter McKinnon VND Signature Edition II filter also boasts the Defender360 feature, providing 360 degrees of filter protection. This includes a waterproof and dustproof seal, safeguarding your investment from the elements and ensuring its longevity.

Offering multiple storage configurations, this filter can be stored both on-camera and off-camera, providing flexibility and convenience for photographers on the go.

But what truly sets this filter apart is its ability to deliver two effects with just one filter, without the need for stacking. This industry-first feature allows you to shoot with diffusion and VND simultaneously, without the risk of cross-polarization or vignetting.

Ideal for working in bright conditions with wide apertures ranging from f1.4 to f2.8, and for recording in LOG formats with an ISO exceeding 400, the Peter McKinnon VND Signature Edition II 82mm 6-9 Stop Filter is the versatile, effective, and professional choice for those seeking to elevate their photography and videography to new heights.
