New release of Kenko Variable ND-W filter
We are glad to announce a new Kenko Variable ND-W filter.
Sales will commence on December 27, 2024.
Overview
The Kenko Variable ND-W filter allows you to adjust the amount of light reduction by rotating the front frame. This filter is essential for controlling exposure when filming videos with a single-lens reflex camera, and can also be used for slow shutter photography of still images. The Kenko Variable ND-W was designed using a unique manufacturing method to minimize X-shape pattern, and it expands the usable range on the wide-angle side, which was previously an issue with variable ND filters. With a wide angle lens of 24mm*, it can be practically used from ND2.5 to ND128**.
The frame is marked with indicators of the amount of light reduction, so you can quickly set it to the required density.
* Equivalent to full-size.
** It is recommended to use only up to ND128. While the filter allows to reduce the amount of light to around ND1000, this increases to likelihood of X-shape pattern and color shift. The usable range of the ND is provided as a guideline only. There may be slight differences depending on compatibility with the lens actually used.
