FAQs

What exposure control does the ND8x filter provide?

The ND8x strength reduces incoming light by 3EV, extending shutter speeds up to 8 times. This is useful for smoothing motion in water or crowds. It also allows wider apertures in intense light. Exposure remains easier to manage without overexposure.

Will the ND8x filter affect colours or sharpness?

The filter uses Japanese AGC glass to maintain neutral colour rendering. Multilayer coatings help reduce glare and contrast loss. This supports consistent sharpness across the image and minimises colour shifts.

Can the filter be stacked with other accessories?

Yes, the slim 3.3mm frame includes front threading for stacking filters. The low-profile design helps reduce the risk of vignetting. Tabs on the frame improve grip when mounting or removing. This allows flexible use in changing conditions.
