You Get What You Pay For
Didn't notice any color shifting or the lines that other VND filters have. Love it.

Solid Variable ND Filter
I mainly use this filter on my Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 when shooting video. If it affects image quality, it's certainly hard to tell. It feels like a premium filter, and it should for the price. It's easy to switch between stops by rotating the adjustment ring, and the adjustment ring has a nice, smooth feel to it.

A Clear View with Just a Hint of Haze
Iโve been using the NiSi 67mm Swift True Color ND-Vari filter for a few weeks now. Itโs a reliable piece of my landscape kit. The build quality is excellentโsolid, smooth-turning, and I think it will prove to be durable over the long haul. The โTrue Colorโ claim holds up impressively well, delivering neutral tones without that unwanted color cast common in cheaper ND filters. Variable density adjustment is precise and smooth, allowing quick exposure control in shifting light. I particularly appreciate that it plays nicely with wide-angle lensesโminimal vignetting, even around 16โ20mm, which is rare. Why not five stars? Just a slight softness can creep in at the extreme ND end, and itโs not the most budget-friendly option. But for photographers who value color accuracy and pro-level consistency, this filter earns its keep.

Very pleased
*Initial reaction to this ND filter* The quality of it is great. Doesnโt feel cheaply made. If youโre wondering if it comes with a lands cap it does. It also comes with an extra handle to help rotate the ND filter. Just remember to turn off your auto ISO. For the price I paid. Iโm very happy with this product. I have a YouTube channel(BIG ST3W) and I do a lot of outdoor content and indoor content while working on cars and this helps control my lighting. *I will give a six month update*

โญโญโญโญโญ Qualitร ottica eccellente e colori davvero naturali
Il NiSi True Color ND variabile 1โ5 stop da 82 mm รจ uno dei filtri piรน affidabili che abbia utilizzato per la fotografia e video in esterni. La qualitร costruttiva รจ molto alta: lโanello di rotazione รจ fluido e preciso, senza scatti o giochi, e permette di regolare la densitร in modo graduale e controllato. Il formato da 82 mm รจ ideale per obiettivi luminosi e si integra bene nel mio set di filtri. Il punto forte รจ la resa cromatica: rispetto ad altri ND variabili, questo mantiene davvero una dominante colore minima. Le immagini restano naturali, con una buona fedeltร dei toni anche alle densitร piรน alte. Anche la nitidezza dellโimmagine non risulta compromessa in modo evidente. Si nota una buona gestione del controllo della luce fino a circa 5 stop, rendendolo molto versatile sia per fotografia paesaggistica che per video con tempi di esposizione controllati. Nel complesso รจ un filtro professionale, affidabile e molto ben calibrato. Il prezzo รจ alto, ma giustificato dalla qualitร ottica e dalla precisione meccanica. Consigliato per chi cerca risultati seri senza compromessi.

Nisi ND filter 82mm
I did a lot of research on line before buying this NISI ND filter. I have used it in my Canon 70-200 and 24-70 2.8 lens on a Canon R5C. As the 24-70 has an 82mm thread I bought an 82mm adapter to fit the 77mm thread on the 70-200. The filter maintains the true colors of the subject and the 1-5 stops are perfect for the videos that I shoot. It's expensive but worth it.
