Hama Vario ND2-400 Neutral-Density Lens Filter – 55mm
The Hama Vario ND2-400 Neutral-Density Filter (55mm) allows photographers and videographers to reduce the amount of light entering the lens, giving greater creative control when shooting in bright conditions.
By lowering light transmission, the filter enables you to use wider apertures or longer shutter speeds, helping create artistic effects such as soft background blur in portraits or smooth motion in water and clouds. The variable ND design lets you adjust the level of light reduction simply by rotating the filter, making it a versatile tool for both photography and video.
Built from high-quality lens glass with a coated surface, the filter helps maintain image clarity while reducing glare and reflections. Its 55 mm thread ensures compatibility with lenses that support this filter size.
