Haida 82mm Pro II Multi-Coating Circular Polarizer + Variable Neutral Density SLR Camera Lens Filter Waterproof Scratch Resistant Nano-Coating CPL + VND (2 in 1)

Got this from a video recommendation and I'm glad I did. Worked pretty well for my applications, mostly reducing brightness from reflexes for a more balanced photo. I'm new to photography and so I can't really attest to its color accuracy, but in my experience it did keep the colors unaltered. Also, the possibility to adjust the circular polarization without messing with the neutral density part is really good.

Just tested it out. I can confirm no X Pattern or vignetting on my Nikon 24-70 2.8G at 24mm f/2.8. I even was able to put a thin 1/8 mist filter behind it still with no vignetting, and at full ND (7 stops) its dark enough to shoot at f/2.8 1/50. Polarizer ring does take some effort to move but its good to know it wont go drifting on you. Solid build quality. I'm a fan.

This is awesome

Pros: - Nice build quality - ND adjustment lever feels smooth - Easy to remove and install - Good value for price - No vignette even at a wide 24mm focal length Cons: - Cannot attach lens cap of same thread size - Slight blue color cast in shadows depending on light conditions I've tried many CPL filters that were slightly more expensive than this one and were always disappointed by lackluster build quality and performance. I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this combo filter at first but Haida has earned my trust with future filter purchases after using this filter during two photoshoots. The build quality is fantastic, feels nice to hold and the ND adjustment lever moves smoothly along the groove. The case is a clamshell made from sturdy plastic and has a foam insert to keep the filter secure. The actual glass is bigger than the thread size which I believe is to reduce vignetting in photos, there are threads on the inside of the filter that could probably fit a bigger lens cap. The only issue I noticed is when using the CPL filter there is sometimes a blue color cast in the shadows, this can be corrected with some grading in post but it is worth nothing. Overall this is a fantastic filter that I would recommend purchasing instead of the ones that are $10-$30 more expensive. it's a great value that has exceeded my expectations.

Almost no X effect and no vignette, worth the price for sure

No dark X, no vignetting, accurate ND values from 3 to 7 stops. Easy to use, and the CPL feature works well to reduce glare and reflections. Does exactly what it should! I tested it on a 12mm to 60mm zoom lens on a Micro Four Thirds camera, so full-frame equivalent of 24mm to 120mm. No problems even on the 12mm end. The only downside of a filter like this is that you won't want to leave it on the lens all the time. With a minimum setting of 3 stops you'll need to remove it for low light situations. I tried to purchase one of the VND-only filters (no CPL), with a wider range, but found that those advertising such a filter were pretty much lying. Testing the actual range, it was far less than the advertised stops. And if you try to add a CPL to a variable ND, you start running into interactions where rotating the CPL causes increased ND values depending on its orientation relative to the VND filter. This one works like a champ with both the CPL and VND features easy to use and keep straight while operating. So I just bought a separate CPL-only filter for low light situations.

This Haida 82mm filter is awesome because it combines a variable ND and a circular polarizer in one. You can control light with the ND ring and cut glare or boost color with the separate CPL ring. The glass is clear, the build is solid, and it’s perfect for both photo and video. Great to have one filter that does both jobs so well.

For the price and the looks it’s pretty solid. It seems to get the job done most of the time and is pretty durable.

I’ve been using the Haida Pro II Multi-Coating Circular Polarizer + Variable Neutral Density filter on my Sony lenses for outdoor video and landscape photos. It has been outstanding. This is the closest thing you will get to professional high end Variable Nd's and Polarizers! Pros Combines ND and CPL in one filter, so I don’t have to stack filters. Variable ND range is smooth and makes it easy to keep shutter speed perfect for cinematic video. Polarizer cuts glare on water and boosts color in skies and foliage. Glass is very clear and the multi-coating resists smudges and water drops. Build quality feels solid with easy-to-turn rings and a sturdy metal frame. Cons Like most variable NDs, at the darkest settings you can see a faint cross pattern if you push it too far. Slightly thicker than a single filter, so check for vignetting on very wide lenses. An excellent filter if you shoot outdoors and want strong color, controlled reflections, and flexible exposure without swapping filters. It quickly became one of my favorite pieces of gear and it definitely deserves 5 Stars!

Good one

Solo lo he podido usar una vez, pero me llevé una grata sorpresa al ver mis fotografías. La combinación del polarizador más flitro de densidad neutra variable es perfecta. No hay viñeteo ni tampoco hay predominantes de color. Solamente hay que tener un poco de cuidado al girar el CPL de no variar la palanca del ND con los pasos de densidad que hemos puesto previamente. Más que recomendable para quienes nos gusta la fotografía de larga exposición.

Una opción formidable para fotografía de naturaleza. Haida es garantía!

i use this filter to any kinds of shootings even for my photo work ,its easy to install soft movement and for my work absolute perfect !
