ICE 112mm Slim ND64 Filter Neutral Density ND 6 Stop - Slim Profile

Our review of the ICE 112mm Slim ND64 Filter finds it best suited to landscape and architectural photographers who need a reliable 6 stop exposure reduction without vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The single biggest reason to buy is its slim 3.6mm frame depth, which keeps the front element clear on wide lenses and reduces the risk of darkened corners while still offering a double threaded metal frame for stacking or a lens hood. It is a straightforward optical solution for long exposures and bright daylight control where solid, neutral attenuation is required.

Key Features

• 6 Stop Exposure Correction: Enables longer shutter speeds and wider apertures in bright conditions to blur motion or reduce depth of field without overexposure.
• Slim 3.6mm Frame: The thin profile minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses so users can shoot wide without dark corners.
• Optical Glass: Provides consistent light attenuation with predictable color balance for landscape and architectural work.
• Double Threaded Metal Frame: The dual threads let you add an additional filter or a screw-on hood for expanded versatility in the field.
• Superfine Matte Black Finish: The non-reflective frame reduces stray light and reflections when shooting into strong sources of illumination.

Who It's For

The ICE 112mm Slim ND64 is ideal for photographers who regularly shoot long exposures of waterfalls, seascapes, or busy city scenes in bright daylight and who use wide-angle optics where a thin filter is necessary to avoid vignetting. Studio shooters who need reliable, neutral attenuation for controlled lighting setups will also find the optical glass construction useful.

It is less suitable for casual users who rarely need multi-stop exposure reduction or for those who prefer variable ND solutions. If you need extremely deep stops beyond six or a filter tuned for video with step-free adjustment, consider other options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Genuine 6 stop reduction gives predictable exposure control for long exposures in bright light.
• Slim 3.6mm frame helps prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses while maintaining strength.
• Double threaded metal frame allows stacking an extra filter or adding a hood for more flexibility.
• Matte black finish minimizes reflections and stray light that can affect image quality.

Cons

• Fixed ND strength means carrying multiple filters if different stop values are needed.
• As a large-format 112mm filter, it requires compatible holders or lens systems that can accept that size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this filter vignette on wide-angle lenses?
Its slim 3.6mm frame is designed to minimize vignetting on wide-angle lenses, though compatibility depends on the specific lens and adapter used.

Can I stack another filter on top?
Yes, the double threaded metal frame allows a second filter or a screw-on hood to be attached.

Is the color balance affected?
The filter uses optical glass and is made to provide neutral attenuation, so color shifts should be minimal under normal use.
