Overview
In conditions of extreme light intensity, such as sunshine on snowy mountains or on the beach, or when using a camcorder, Neutral Density filters are essential. Neutral Density filters are often ignored by photographers, but they have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise un-achievable results. Neutral Density filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film or imaging sensor, they have no affect on color balance.
The ND8X reduces light transmission by 3 stops. Digital Anti-Reflection Multi Coating - Specially formulated to pass light reflected off of a digital camera's anti aliasing filter and silicon based CCD or CMOS sensor. Black Almite Frame and Black Rimmed Glass - The black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame and black rimmed glass aid in reducing stray light and unwanted reflections. Low Profile Frame - Ultra thin low profile frames prevent vignetting on super wide digital format lenses. Knurled Frame Edges - Frames feature a knurled edge frame for easy attachment and removal.

OVERVIEW
The ProMaster 55mm Basis VND filter reduces the amount of light entering your lens between 2 and 8 stops to help you control exposure.
Reducing light to control exposure is the job of a neutral density (ND) filter. A variable neutral density filter (VND) replaces numerous ND filters by allowing you to change the amount of light it holds back with a simple twist of its ring. A ProMaster Basis VND filter can reduce light by as little as 2 f-stops or as much as 8. And it can be adjusted to any amount in between these values.
There are good reasons to hold back light in still photography as well as videography. Some examples include:
- In still photography, a VND filter can allow your camera to use a slower shutter speed. The slower shutter speed creates blur with moving objects as a creative effect. One example is blurring water to give the impression of movement.
- In videography the camera’s shutter speed (frame rate) is often fixed, leaving the lens aperture to control exposure. But what if a large aperture is desired to achieve a shallow depth-of-field in bright conditions? A VND is used to reduce the light and thereby achieve proper exposure even with a large aperture setting.
All ProMaster Basis filters have the same size filter thread on the front and back. So, they are compatible with your lens cap, and they can be stacked with other, same-size filters.
Basis filters represent a terrific value. They are optically excellent and affordable and deliver great results!

ProMaster SKU: 9545 | Helix SKU: PR9545
OVERVIEW
The ProMaster Standard Variable Neutral Density Filter provides light reduction of about 1.3 to 8.6 stops. The ND3 to ND400 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. Features high quality glass and precision metal frames.
