67mm Variable ND Filter ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stops) - No X Cross Variable ND

Our review of the 67mm Variable ND Filter ND2-ND32 finds it best suited to photographers and videographers who want a compact, reliable way to control exposure without changing lenses. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: this filter delivers smooth 1-5 stop light reduction with premium optical glass and a design that eliminates the distracting black X artifact, so users can extend shutter speed or widen aperture for creative blur and shallow depth of field while keeping color balance and sharpness intact.

Key Features

• 1-5 Stops Light Reduction: Lets you reduce exposure by one to five stops so you can create motion blur or use wider apertures in bright conditions.
• Premium Optical Glass: Made from imported AGC glass to preserve color balance and reduce reflections for cleaner images.
• No X Cross Design: The frame self-lock and hard stops at each end of the rotation range prevent the black X artifact common to variable ND filters.
• 28 Multi-Layer Coatings: Nano-X multi-layer coatings provide waterproof, oil-repellent, and scratch-resistant protection for the filter surface.
• Universal 67mm Fit: Threads to any camera lens with a 67mm mount so it fits common mid-size lenses used by enthusiasts and pros.

Who It's For

This filter is aimed at run-and-gun videographers and landscape photographers who need flexible control over exposure without swapping solid ND filters. The variable density range suits those who want smoother transitions between stops for time-lapse, slow-shutter waterfalls, or video aperture control.

Photographers who require the absolute last word in color neutrality under every condition or who use lenses with unusual filter thread sizes should look elsewhere; also check compatibility if you depend on attaching a specific hood or cap since some users report fit differences with accessories.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well engineered with clear glass and strong build quality for regular field use.
• Eliminates the black X cross, so the usable exposure range is larger than many variable NDs.
• Multi-layer Nano coatings add water and oil resistance and improve long-term durability.
• Good value for money given the optical glass and coating features included.

Cons

• Some users report fit issues with lens hoods or a slight color cast on certain cameras, so test for color neutrality on your setup.
