Where the ones you test previously still nano-x or where they nano-d or nano-k or whatever other line they might have had?

Thanks! But you had to check color accuracy with WB fixed ;) Flare is a disaster with ND2-400. Also, it would be interesting just to see crops from the central part of the flare images. Especially to compare the loss of sharpness with no ND filter image. Thank you anyway!

Looking at their filter line there does not appear to be much difference between lines. The No-X filters are just limited to a rotation range. Either less or more by using hard stops and thus that's how they get around the X pattern. The other filters are not limited and thus you can rotate it to display an X pattern. The range for no-X just is the amount of rotation that is limited. After that it appears that whether they start at n2 or n8 is dependent on the film they use with the latter allowing less transmission. You either buy a limited one that they limit for you because you prefer the handling and hard stops, or you buy one without hard stops knowing at some point you will hit the X pattern. After that there are just coating differences and of course manufacturing tolerances.

i bought some k&f vnds and tested these I bought one nd 2-nd 400 B serieswithout any coating filter nd 2- nd 400 , C series a blue coatinng vnd and a nano no x nd 2- nd 32 and these are cheap to costly in ascending order as i mentioned but i found no coating and nano x has less green cast while blue coating one has terrible green cast..i was thinking to keep blue coating one but i guess i have to keep either n b series or nano x do u thibk a coating helps?

No x just reached today i have to test it yet Coz nd 2-400 becomes quite dark just before that x pattern appears And have u tested jjc or nisi true color But as i have seen so many videos polar pro has done a great job on colors but out of budget one can get a used lens in that price .lol

🚨 Will that lever come off.? I’d like to have my lens hood on but can’t see that happening with that sticking out. And without hard stops and if I took that off I don’t know how I would tell what stop I’m on with the hood on. Thoughts…???

I migliori filtri ...diffidatevi di quelli molto più costosi!

So basicly the best would be rectangular or at least separated lenses? ND + CPL. Like K&F Concept Nano X-PRO Rectangular Filter Set?

It’s probably just that the wide range on this filter is a bit too ambitious. Their lower range round ones work better.

Generally the most cost effective idea is to get a larger one that fits your biggest lens (82mm often), then use step rings to attach it to smaller lenses.

Yes it seems that they only sell online as they're a value first brand that spends little to no money on store presence and advertising... which certainly has its ups and downs. There isn't really any way to try before you buy unless you know someone locally who has one.

I wouldn’t recommend it, no. They have 2 filters specifically for that. For solar photography you want something that is rated for IR and UV blocking specifically. And I doubt this one adequately blocks IR to be perfectly safe. Also, I don’t think the max filter is high enough. A typical solar filter is 16-20 stops, while this one maxes out around 8.5 I think?

@@MnMS1904 infomercials are often dramatized more than they’d like to admit, and 60p makes it all the more obvious. Works against anyone trying to conceal anything, because the microexpressions on a persons face are suddenly much easier to read. Experiments have found it’s incredibly difficult act convincingly at 120p. On theatre stage IRL it only works because there is already a culturally expected understanding of falsehood.

Which filter do you recommend under 100$?

@WesPerry

Sometimes you can find these for under $100. But spending less and less can get you some pretty terrible colour shifts and image degradation, so you definitely get what you pay for to some degree.

I though all variable ND filters were two polarizing filters.

@WesPerry

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but only insofar as they specifically polarize light to interact with one another, using “circular polarization” (like 3D glasses do in movies). These have little effect on the look of outside light coming in. This is super confusing, though, as this is not the same as a “circular polarizer”, which filters one angle of light, allowing you to rotate it to choose which angle you want to cut. The K&F VND +Polarizer has a directional circular polarizer as such.

The thing that really annoys me and undoubtedly confuses many, is the use of the 2-400 sort of thing. Put it in STOPS and state that its around 8.6 stops. That way some might know what it is all about.
