Product Information

Full details

The LEE Filters Elements VND 2-5 Stop Circular Filter is designed for landscape photographers and videographers needing precise exposure control in bright conditions. Its primary benefit is offering a smooth, adjustable 2-5 stop light reduction without affecting color, minimizing the need for multiple ND filters. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific stop range, which might not cover extreme lighting scenarios requiring more than 5 stops of reduction.

FAQs

What is the exact range of light reduction provided by this filter?

The filter provides adjustable light reduction from 2 stops up to 5 stops.

Will this filter affect the color of my photos or videos?

No, the LEE Elements VND filter is designed to maintain color neutrality with advanced multi-layer optical coatings.

What does 'positive end stops' mean?

Positive end stops are physical markers that indicate the filter's minimum and maximum density settings, preventing over-rotation and accidental demounting during use.

Can I use this filter with an ultra-wide-angle lens?

Yes, the filter is designed to be slim and minimize the risk of vignetting, even with ultra-wide-angle lenses.

What is included with the filter?

Each filter comes with a travel-friendly, impact-proof protective case and a LEE Filters cleaning cloth.

What is the warranty on this filter?

The LEE Elements Variable ND filter comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

How do I clean the filter effectively?

Use the provided microfiber cloth for light dust. For smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth and wipe gently from the center outwards.

Troubleshooting

Filter produces an 'X' pattern or dark cross at certain settings.

This is known as cross-polarization and can occur with variable ND filters, especially at higher densities. Rotate the filter rings to find a position where the 'X' disappears. Ensure the filter is not being used with a polarizing filter already on the lens.

Image has a color cast (e.g., blue or green tint).

While designed for color neutrality, extreme settings or certain lighting might cause a slight shift. Ensure the filter is clean and the coatings are intact. If the issue persists, try adjusting white balance in post-processing or re-evaluate if the filter is fully engaging.

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Check for any debris or damage on the lens threads or filter threads. Ensure you are using the correct filter size (67mm). Do not force the filter; try re-aligning and screwing gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your lens is clean.
  2. Screw the LEE Filters Elements VND 2-5 Stop Circular Filter onto the front of your 67mm lens until it is secure.
  3. Rotate the outer ring of the filter to adjust the amount of light reduction. Observe the stop markers for precise adjustments.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is designed for lenses with a 67mm filter thread. Please check your lens's specifications for compatibility.

Care:

  • To clean the filter, use the included LEE Filters cleaning cloth to gently wipe away dust or fingerprints. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with lens cleaning solution or water. Always wipe from the center outwards in a circular motion.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the coatings.
