Hama ND2-400 Φίλτρο ουδέτερης πυκνότητας 49 mm

The Variable ND Filter 49 mm from Hama is a must have for avid photographers

Although primarily developed to reduce light when it is too bright, this is not the only feature of this fantastic filter from Hama. As well as having the ability to control the light going into the picture by lengthening the exposure time between +1 and +8 aperture stops, it also allows the photographer to use large apertures while taking pictures outside backround gets hazy. This will create an overall clearer, sharper image, with a higher quality more professional appearance. Furthermore, by covering the lens it gives added protection against grime, dust, fingerprints and scratches that can cause the quality of images to otherwise significantly deteriorate. The protection of your camera lens can also help to increase the resale price of your camera when the time comes for an upgrade, because your lens is still in mint condition.

The Variable ND Filter 49 mm has rotatable front lens so you really can get that perfect precision picture everytime and in case of exposure times longer than 1/30 seconds, water ""flows"" (if they are shorter, it freezes to ice).

At such good value for money and with such a huge improvement in image quality, whether you are an amateur or a professional, you will wonder what you ever did without it. Protect your lens with Hama today!

How to use

Screw the filter onto a lens with a 49 mm filter thread. Rotate the front element to change the density until the exposure or aperture reaches the desired value; use a light meter or camera exposure preview to confirm settings. For long exposures, use a tripod and, if available, a cable release or camera timer to minimise camera shake. When shooting moving water, exposure times longer than about 1/30 s will produce a smooth, flowing effect.

Recommendations

Store the filter in its case when not in use and clean with a soft microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution to preserve coatings. Avoid excessive tightening on the lens thread to prevent damage. For consistent colour and image quality, check exposure and white balance when changing density settings.
