Variable Neutral Density Filter offering 2 - 8 stops of light reduction, fits in 6.6x6.6" matte boxes

LINDSEY OPTICS Brilliant² 6.6x6.6" / 161mm Variable ND Filter


The Brilliant² Variable ND provides between 2 stops and 8 stops of Variable Neutral Density light control, with ND values between ND 0.6 (2 Stops) and ND 2.4 (8 Stops) with excellent neutral color.

The desired ND value is obtained by rotating either of the geared thumb wheels by hand or with a motor. Visible light is attenuated and near infrared light from 700nm to 850nm is also reduced, giving good control of "IR Pollution" with camera sensors sensitive to infrared. Our Broadband Multi-Layer Anti-Reflection coating prevents internal filter-to-filter reflections within the Variable Neutral Density Filter and with any other filter in the matte box. Contrast is maintained and ghost images are prevented.

Our coating is water repellent and oil repellent which results in a filter that is easy to clean and easy to keep clean.
