ICE Magco 95mm ND100000 16.5 Stop Magnetic MC Optical Glass Filter

In this review the ICE Magco 95mm ND100000 16.5 Stop filter is evaluated for photographers who need extreme light reduction for long exposures and motion blur in bright conditions. The bottom line: it is aimed at landscape, seascape and architectural shooters who want a compact, magnetic solution that stacks with other magnetic filters and accepts conventional 95mm lens caps; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an extremely strong 16.5 stop neutral density with a lightweight magnetic adapter that stays on the lens for fast swapping.

Key Features

• 95mm Magnetic Adapter: accepts standard 95mm lens caps and can be left on the lens to keep a protective mounting in place between sessions.
• 16.5 Stop ND Filter: offers very large exposure reduction for long exposures and smooth motion effects even in bright daylight.
• Optical Glass Construction: uses optical glass to preserve image quality with minimal distortion and no color cast.
• Hardened Top Coat: a water, oil, dust, fingerprint and scratch resistant coating makes the glass easier to clean and more durable in the field.
• Magnetic Compatibility: fully compatible and interchangeable with other major magnetic systems so multiple brands can be mixed and stacked.
• Lightweight Kit: the adapter and filter together weigh about 1.5oz and include a small plastic storage case for transport.

Who It's For

The ICE Magco 95mm ND100000 suits landscape and seascape photographers who routinely shoot long exposures in bright daylight and need a compact, fast-to-change filter solution. Its strong light reduction and optical glass make it useful for creative motion blur, cloud streaking and smoothing water with minimal color shift.

It is less relevant to casual shooters who rarely use neutral density filters or to photographers using lens sizes other than 95mm unless they already own step-up rings or adapters. Also, shooters who need subtle density increments rather than an extreme 16.5 stop reduction should consider milder ND options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extremely strong 16.5 stop reduction enables long exposures in bright conditions without complex exposure stacking.
• Magnetic adapter accepts conventional 95mm lens caps and stays on the lens for quick filter swaps.
• Hard-coated optical glass resists water, oil, dust and fingerprints and shows no obvious color cast.
• Lightweight and stackable with up to four magnetic filters for creative flexibility.

Cons

• Specialized extreme density may be overkill for photographers who only need small reductions or variable ND control.
• Only available in the 95mm magnetic format, so other lens sizes require additional adapters or rings.

Our Verdict

The ICE Magco 95mm ND100000 is a strong-value tool for photographers who need dramatic long-exposure effects without bulky holders.
