Product Information
Full details
The Marumi DHG ND16 58mm filter is a high-grade neutral density tool designed for photographers and videographers who need to manage exposure in bright conditions. By reducing incoming light by 4 stops, this filter allows for creative control over shutter speeds and aperture settings without sacrificing color accuracy; however, users should note that it requires specific lens thread compatibility and is not variable, meaning it offers a fixed light reduction level.

FAQs
What does ND16 mean?
ND16 indicates that the filter reduces the light entering the lens to 1/16th of the original intensity, which equates to 4 stops of light reduction.
Can I use this with my 58mm lens?
Yes, as long as your lens has a 58mm filter thread diameter, this filter will screw on perfectly.
Does this filter affect autofocus?
Generally, no. Modern camera sensors are sensitive enough to autofocus accurately through the ND16 filter in most daylight conditions.
Is this filter compatible with wide-angle lenses?
The thin frame design is specifically intended to minimize vignetting on wide-angle lenses, though extreme ultra-wide lenses may still see some darkening.
Does this create a color cast?
The Marumi DHG series is designed for high color neutrality, meaning it should not introduce any significant color tint to your images.
Troubleshooting
Filter is stuck on the lens
Use a dedicated filter wrench to gently loosen the grip. Do not force it with your bare hands as this can dent the ring.
Vignetting in the corners
Ensure no other filters or thick lens hoods are stacked on top of the ND filter, as these can add thickness and cause vignetting.
Images look slightly soft
Verify that the autofocus system is still locking on correctly with the filter attached, and ensure the front element of the lens is clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces overexposure in bright sunlight

- Thin frame prevents vignetting on most lens setups
- Maintains excellent color reproduction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, gently screw the filter onto the 58mm filter thread of your lens. Ensure it is threaded correctly to avoid cross-threading. When not in use, store the filter in a protective case away from dust and direct sunlight. To clean the glass, use a professional lens cleaning pen or a microfiber cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the delicate anti-reflective coating.
