Product Description About ND filters neutral density (ND) filters are the most demanded and essential type of photographic filters because of several reasons. For photographers ND filter means precise control of the amount of light passing through the lens for greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators ND filters helps much to set shutter speeds to match the frame-rate while maintaining the depth-of field of the footage. Among the varieties of ND filters from ND2 to ND1000 even ND10000, we can generally categorise ND filters into 3 basic groups: Light density filters (ND2 - ND8) middle density filters (ND16 - ND200) deep density filters (ND500 - ND1000 / ND10000) light density filters will lower the shutter speed in the bright sunny day to allow you to reduce depth of field in very bright light or to use a wider aperture to stay below the diffraction limit. For example, these filters are necessary to shoot with your fast lenses like F1.4 or F1.2 with aperture wide open for softer and more beautiful bokeh. Middle density filters will help you to add motion blur to the object in the conditions that generally will not allow camera shutter speed to do so. If you are for more creative shots that are based on extremely slow shutter speeds - deep density filters are suggested. ND filters like ND500 or ND1000 will help to capture dramatic unreal fantasy world that cannot be seen by the human eye.
