Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular ND64 and CPL with Adaptor - 77mm
The Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular ND64 and CPL with Adaptor 77mm is a combined 6 stop neutral ...The Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular ND64 and CPL with Adaptor 77mm is a combined 6 stop neutral density and polariser in one filter for use on its own or with other Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular Filters. The ND64 solid neutral density 1.8 filter is an ND filter with a 64x filter factor that provides a 6-stop exposure reduction. An included Kase magnetic lens adapter ring allows the filter to be used on a lens with 77mm front filter threads. The filter's 1.8 density creates a darkening of an entire image without affecting the image's coloration, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily.
This guide is for photographers looking to achieve creative effects with neutral density and polarizing filters. The Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular ND64 and CPL with Adaptor offers a 6-stop exposure reduction and polarization in a single, easy-to-use unit for lenses with 77mm threads. A potential consideration is the magnetic system's reliance on the included adapter ring.

FAQs
What is the filter factor of the ND64?
The ND64 filter has a 64x filter factor, which equates to a 6-stop exposure reduction (1.8 density).
Can I use this filter on lenses with different thread sizes?
This specific model requires a 77mm lens thread and comes with a 77mm adapter. For other lens sizes, you would need a compatible Kase magnetic adapter ring for that specific thread size.
How do I adjust the polarization?
The circular polarizer is adjusted by rotating the outer ring of the filter after it has been magnetically attached to the lens adapter.
Can I stack multiple Kase Revolution Magnetic filters?
Yes, the magnetic system is designed to allow stacking of multiple Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular filters for advanced creative effects.
Will the magnetic mount hold securely?
The magnetic mount is designed for a secure and quick attachment. However, in very demanding conditions, it's always wise to have a backup method or be mindful of potential dislodging.
What is the main benefit of combining ND and CPL filters?
Combining them saves time and complexity by allowing you to simultaneously control light intensity (ND) and manage reflections/enhance colors (CPL) with a single filter unit.
Troubleshooting
Filter is difficult to attach/detach
Ensure the magnetic adapter ring is screwed on straight and is clean. Check for any debris on the magnetic surfaces.
Visible reflections or glare not reduced
Rotate the outer ring of the CPL filter to adjust the polarization effect. Ensure the filter is aligned correctly with the light source.
Image appears too dark or too bright
Verify that the ND64 setting is engaged correctly. Adjust your camera's exposure settings as needed to compensate for the 6-stop reduction.
Color cast noticed in images
Ensure the filter is clean. If the cast persists, try removing the filter to see if the issue is with the camera or lens settings. Contact support if the problem continues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your lens has 77mm front filter threads.
Screw the included Kase magnetic lens adapter ring onto your lens.
Align the Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular ND64 and CPL filter with the adapter ring and it will snap into place magnetically.
Rotate the outer ring of the CPL portion to adjust polarization effects.
Compatibility:
Designed for lenses with 77mm front filter threads.
The magnetic system is compatible with other Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular filters.
Care:
Clean the filter gently using a soft lens brush to remove dust.
For smudges, use a lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber cloth, then wipe the filter surface. Avoid applying solution directly to the filter.
Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
