B + W 49mm XS-Pro Vario ND MRC Nano Filter - 0.3 to 1.5 66 (1 to 5 stops)

Because precision and adaptability are key in photography, the 49mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter offers an unparalleled level of control over your images. This high-quality filter features an adjustable density control, enabling photographers to fine-tune the amount of light that passes through the lens with a variable range of 0.3 to 1.5 (1 to 5 stops). The XS-Pro mount is designed with an index setting, allowing for precise adjustments to the desired level of density, ensuring each shot is captured with the correct exposure.Crafted for durability and effectiveness, the filter's versatile design means it can be combined with additional B+W ND filters of fixed value, providing even greater density options for those challenging lighting scenarios. When stacking filters, the ND Vario should be positioned as the outermost filter to maintain optimal image quality.The B+W XS-Pro ND Vario filters boast a multi-resistant coating (MRC) with nano technology, which adds an extra layer of protection against the elements. This advanced coating technology enhances image clarity by reducing lens flare and ghosting, and the nano coating's lotus effect increases water repellency, making the filter easier to clean and maintain.Designed with an EW (extra-wide) mount, the filter minimizes the risk of vignetting, making it suitable for use with most 17mm lenses on a full-frame body. However, due to the vast array of equipment specifications, B+W recommends conducting personal tests to confirm the filter's performance with your specific gear.The 49mm XS-Pro Vario Neutral Density MRC Nano Filter is an essential tool for photographers seeking to achieve creative effects such as motion blur in bright daylight or a shallow depth of field without overexposure. Its easy-to-use functionality and robust construction make it a reliable choice for both amateur and professional photographers aiming to elevate their craft.
