Exactly what I expected. It works really well on my 77mm cinema lens.

I had an issue with condensation getting between the lens when I was doing some night photography on Mt. Rainier...know what "dew point" refers to. The filter was way out of warranty but they asked me to ship it to thenm and they returned it with cleaned. It probably helps not to be demanding of much but they really went out of their way.

got this and compared to the equivalent 77mm Tiffen variable ND filter and though the images are good through the pro optic they weren't as sharp as through the Tiffen- but you pay more for the Tiffen- but worth it to me- had no problem with my camera's auto focus with both the pro optic and tiffen on my Panasonic GX8- the Tiffen was actually the 3rd variable ND filter I tested- the first was the most expensive of all Cokin variable ND filter but ironically as the most expensive Cokin variable ND filter was unusable- even in manual focus it distorted the image and could not get a sharp image at all

The filter is variable all right. When I look through it and move it there are distortions noticeable in anything with a lined pattern. Apparently not very planar. I'll be returning it.

It's sharp enough, it feels sturdy and well built, however I get a brown streak across the center of the image with this filter. I suppose it's a manufacturing defect or perhaps just bad glass? Anyways I recommend a better quality ND filter...

I use the product on my camera lense to tone down the sky in the scene.

I use this to get the milky effect in water and it perfoms fantastically. as well as ND filters that cost 4-5 times as much

This filter had been previously ordered by me and came in a case that wouldn't close. The filter itself was fine - as is the replacement. The quality of the glass seems to be very good, and the price is more than fair.

I have found the Pro Optic 72mm Variable HD ND Filter, ND2 to ND400 to be a very good investment that has added to my ability to get those really good landscape and nature shots. The price was certainly right and the Pro Optic meets all my cuurent needs and expectations. The only negative comment is that upon receipt the besel ring and thus the outer lens were very loose. I tightened it but was somewhat disappointed at the lack of QA on the item.

This is an excellent filter to use to capture those scenes that you wpuld like to show motion or soften a cascading waterfall. It is extremely easy to use and you cannot beat the price. Singh-Ray's is about $400 compared to [$] for this.

Bought this to do some long exposures in daylight. Thought I'd take a chance on a lower priced unit but was disappointed in the results. Ok at lower levels of filtering but once you move past the mid point white starts heading to blue

ProOptic 82mm Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter, 2 to 8 Stops
By ALEXIS O.
Perfect for any outdoor footage!
Enhance your photography and videography skills with the ProOptic 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, a high-quality and reliable tool designed for both analog film cameras and digital SLRs. This versatile filter offers continuous control over the light entering your lens, with a range from ND2 (ND 0.6) to ND8 (ND 2.4) stops. It's an effective solution for maintaining image integrity, even in challenging lighting conditions that might otherwise require high ISOs or wider apertures.
The ProOptic VND is a durable and lightweight accessory, perfect for on-the-go videographers and location photographers. It offers a more practical solution than bulkier accessories like matte boxes with delicate ND filter gels. As a neutral density filter, it reduces the intensity of all visible light wavelengths equally, ensuring no impact on color balance, fidelity, or sharpness.
The variable neutral density feature gives you the power to adjust the degree of ND effect by simply rotating the front glass element. This interaction between the two layers of polarized material can limit light rays by up to eight stops, or 0.39% of the full exposure, to ND 2.4. This selective light reduction lowers the exposure enough to capture the illusion of movement in subjects like rushing waters, billowing clouds, or night-time car light trails.
Additionally, this filter allows for aperture control, enabling a wider value and resulting in a narrower range of focus. This helps to separate subjects from their background, creating stunning Bokeh and a distinct soft blur aura. With the ProOptic 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, you have the power to control your image's exposure and create stunning visual effects.
