Haida 82mm Pro II Multi-Coating Circular Polarizer + Variable Neutral Density SLR Camera Lens Filter Waterproof Scratch Resistant Nano-Coating CPL + VND (2 in 1)

Got this from a video recommendation and I'm glad I did. Worked pretty well for my applications, mostly reducing brightness from reflexes for a more balanced photo. I'm new to photography and so I can't really attest to its color accuracy, but in my experience it did keep the colors unaltered. Also, the possibility to adjust the circular polarization without messing with the neutral density part is really good.

This Haida 82mm filter is awesome because it combines a variable ND and a circular polarizer in one. You can control light with the ND ring and cut glare or boost color with the separate CPL ring. The glass is clear, the build is solid, and it’s perfect for both photo and video. Great to have one filter that does both jobs so well.

I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this ND/CPL 2 in 1 filter other than there is a bit of vignetting that comes with it. No ND filter is perfect and you will always get some kind of vignetting even with the “high quality” lens filters that are well known. Haida did an amazing job with this one. While other filters may introduce a temperature change in your photos, this one excels in keeping your photos true to color. This Haida filter is amazing in price, build and quality. I absolutely love it and I’m glad I did not spend $250 on some over priced endorsed product.

Good filter, high quality and keeps colors intact, I appreciate the dual filter for outdoor lighting on faces to cut shine. Unfortunately the screwknob for the filter fell out somewhere in the outdoors and it's a $5 replacement piece. Not sure why it can come out to begin with.

Great product

Almost no X effect and no vignette, worth the price for sure

I recently purchased a high-end camera for videography and research I found on line indicated the Haida Variable ND Filter (VND) was a good product at it's price point. I'm so glad I made the decision to purchase this product. After using the VND a few times, and understanding how to use it, I immediately noticed an improvement in image quality and color accuracy in post. I got the 77mm Haida Variable ND Filter and it works well with my camera (Sony FX3A).

EDIT: this is far worse than I previously reviewed. I couldn’t resist testing this further before returning. I’ve never edited a review. Buyer Beware DO NOT ATTACH TO ANY OTHER FILTERS. Ruined my B + W UV Pro whatever that arrived the same day. Amazon please remove this product as many people don’t understand how and why this item will damage their expensive camera equipment. PS have you ever had a $100 filter leave permanent marks after screwing it in a total of two total times on a Sony GM lens? I’m fine with receiving total Amazon junk when it’s a $10 price point and meant for a phone. LOOK AT THE ACTUAL REVIEWS WHEN YOU GO TO THW ACTUAL LISTING ON B&H (2.5 stars vs 4.5 stars on google and Amazon?). B&H is still somewhat the industry standard. If you need further evidence, just watch the countless “unbiased” reviews on YouTube, which all look like someone received a kit lens for Christmas and filmed it in their basement. The only reason B&H carries this brand is because it leads to upselling customers to the higher margin quality filters. I WOUMD HAVE PAID THE MONEY FOR THEM TO NOT SHIP ME THIS. —— I received the 82mm CPL and VND today, opened it and the filter had some sort of partially dried glue that got all over the side of a my 16-35 GM 1. THIS IS A CHEAP FILTER; DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF TTHE SPONSORED YOUTUBE VIDEOS THAT CLAIM. I’m going back to purchasing actual glass. Worst purchase ever. SCAM

I’ve been using the Haida Pro II Multi-Coating Circular Polarizer + Variable Neutral Density filter on my Sony lenses for outdoor video and landscape photos. It has been outstanding. This is the closest thing you will get to professional high end Variable Nd's and Polarizers! Pros Combines ND and CPL in one filter, so I don’t have to stack filters. Variable ND range is smooth and makes it easy to keep shutter speed perfect for cinematic video. Polarizer cuts glare on water and boosts color in skies and foliage. Glass is very clear and the multi-coating resists smudges and water drops. Build quality feels solid with easy-to-turn rings and a sturdy metal frame. Cons Like most variable NDs, at the darkest settings you can see a faint cross pattern if you push it too far. Slightly thicker than a single filter, so check for vignetting on very wide lenses. An excellent filter if you shoot outdoors and want strong color, controlled reflections, and flexible exposure without swapping filters. It quickly became one of my favorite pieces of gear and it definitely deserves 5 Stars!

Good one

Solo lo he podido usar una vez, pero me llevé una grata sorpresa al ver mis fotografías. La combinación del polarizador más flitro de densidad neutra variable es perfecta. No hay viñeteo ni tampoco hay predominantes de color. Solamente hay que tener un poco de cuidado al girar el CPL de no variar la palanca del ND con los pasos de densidad que hemos puesto previamente. Más que recomendable para quienes nos gusta la fotografía de larga exposición.

Una opción formidable para fotografía de naturaleza. Haida es garantía!

i use this filter to any kinds of shootings even for my photo work ,its easy to install soft movement and for my work absolute perfect !
