Super Dark Variable ND

£135 (around $170) www.syrp.co.nz

Syrp’s variable neutral density filter will reduce light transmission by 5-10 stops (ND32-ND1024) and, unlike on many variable NDs, the stops are marked on the filter ring. There are also hard limits at each end of the rotation to prevent any uneven exposure at maximum density. The filter is available in 82mm or 67mm versions, and each comes with two step-up rings, to enable compatibility with lenses of other thread diameters. First impressions_

With its wide light transmission range and user-friendly design, this variable ND filter is well worth a look.
