I use this filter for portrait photography almost exclusively. From 50mm on up to 200mm is the focal range I work in and this filter performs 100% as advertised. No color shift or image degradation noticeable whatsoever. Being able to shoot wide open (f/1.4) on a sunny day with a low enough shutter speed to use flash is no problem when using this kit. I wouldn't hesitate buying this or any Schneider product in the future after using this kit.

The Schneider 68-884405 True-Match Variable Neutral Density Filter is a perfect choice for DSLR cameras with high ISO settings. It allows the user to select the lens f/stop and camera speed independent of ambient light conditions. This requires the Schneider 4" Filter Holder which is included in the kit. This carefully matched set of filters work in combination to produce a density range from 1-1/3 stop loss to 11 stops of light loss. By selecting the best quality materials, Schneider variable ND offer 11stops (ND3.3) attenuation with no blue color shift at maximum density which is a common problem with inferior and unmatched materials common in lesser variable ND filters.
The kit is comprised of a screw-on 77mm True-Match Circular Polarizer (Non-Rotating) that mounts to the front of the camera lens, a Schneider 4" rotating Filter Holder and a 4x4 True-Match Linear Polarizer.
