B+W 77mm Neutral Density ND 0.9 (8x) 103 Glass Filter

By using this filter, it is possible to use the relatively longer shutter speeds while retaining a wide aperture even in bright illumination. This allows for the emphasis of the subject by controlling depth of field or creating motion effect with subject blur. Filter factor is 8. B+W neutral density filters are made out of neutral gray Schott NG-glass. They block the entire visible spectrum evenly and allow light reduction without influencing color rendition or contrast. Sometimes it is necessary to cut down the amount of light with neutral density filters when working with high-speed films.A neutral density filter comes in handy if you would like to increase the aperture more than the light situation and camera capabilities permit. They are also good for the long exposures which are necessary for a blur-effect or zooming during the shot.

They have no effect on color balance. They have four main uses: 1) To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars. 2) To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background. 3) To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations. 4) To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure. These filters are available in increments from one stop to twenty stops exposure reduction.
