ICE 77mm Slim CPL ND Filter Stack Set - 4 Filters for Wide Angle

Our review of the ICE 77mm Slim CPL ND 4 Filter Stack Cap Set finds it tailored for landscape and long exposure photographers using wide angle glass. The kit combines a 10 stop ND1000, a 6 stop ND64, a 3 stop ND8 and a rotating CPL in slim, double-threaded metal frames that stack cleanly for strong exposure control without heavy vignetting. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of high attenuation options plus a rotating CPL in a stackable, slim form that preserves wide angle coverage and adds flexibility for creative exposure control.

Key Features

• Slim Optical Glass ND1000: Provides a full 10 stop exposure reduction for multi-second to minute-long exposures to smooth water and cloud motion.
• Slim Optical Glass ND64: Offers a 6 stop reduction ideal for twilight or brighter scenes where moderate long exposures are needed.
• Slim Optical Glass ND8: Gives a 3 stop reduction for subtle motion blur or for balancing bright highlights without heavy color shifts.
• Slim Optical Glass CPL: The rotating polarizer reduces reflections and increases sky contrast while maintaining a slim profile for wide angle use.
• Double-threaded metal frames: Each filter has threads on both sides so additional filters or a hood can be stacked securely with minimal cross-talk.
• Included storage and caps: Male and female metal stack caps plus a drawstring leatherette pouch keep the set protected and ready for field use.

Who It's For

The set is best for photographers shooting landscapes, seascapes and architecture on wide angle lenses who need strong neutral density stops and polarization without vignetting from thick filter rings. The slim metal frames and double-threading make this package suited to those who want to stack filters for creative combinations or use a hood while keeping a low profile.

Enthusiasts who prioritize compact field kits and want a range of exposure controls from 3 to 10 stops will find this set valuable. Those who require very specific optical coatings, larger format filter systems, or square-holder convenience should consider alternate filter systems designed for those workflows.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Slim optical glass design reduces the risk of vignetting on wide angle lenses while allowing stacking.
• Wide range of stops (3, 6, 10) plus a variable CPL gives versatile control of exposure and reflections.
• Durable double-threaded metal frames and metal stack caps improve durability and stacking stability.

Cons

• Stacking multiple filters can still introduce slight light falloff on extreme ultra-wide lenses despite slim frames.
• The set is offered only in the 77mm size here, so other thread sizes require separate purchases or step rings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these filters be stacked together?
Yes, each filter uses a double-threaded metal frame so you can stack multiple filters or attach a hood when needed.

Will these cause vignetting on my wide angle lens?
The slim frames are designed to minimize vignetting on wide angle lenses, though stacking many filters may still cause slight falloff on the most extreme ultra-wide optics.

What is included for storage and protection?
The set includes male and female metal stack caps and a drawstring leatherette pouch for transport and protection.
