Performance & Use:
The ND 1.8 filter is considered an extreme ND filter, enabling very long shutter speeds in bright conditions. Ideal for smoothing water movement, eliminating moving people in architectural shots, creating motion blur in daylight video, and controlling exposure for cinematic drone footage.
Build Quality:
Manufactured in Munich, Heliopan ND filters use carefully polished SCHOTT glass for maximum sharpness and neutral color balance. The precision slim brass frame minimizes reflections, resists temperature stress, and prevents thread binding. Its low-profile design avoids vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
