LEE Filters ELVND2-572 variabel neutraaldichtheidsfilter (72mm, 2-5 stops)

Bright conditions often force photographers to compromise on aperture or shutter speed, limiting creative control. The LEE Filters ELVND2-572 Variable Neutral Density Filter solves this by providing continuously adjustable light reduction from 2 to 5 stops, enabling wide apertures for shallow depth of field or long exposures for motion blur even in full sunlight.
