Neutral density filter Freewell FW-L1-ND32 voor Real Locking VND, ND32

Freewell ND32 filter for Real Locking VND is a neutral density glass filter that reduces incoming light by 5 stops. It is created for the Real Locking VND/CPL mounting system and is intended for very bright shooting conditions, for example midday sun. True Color optics preserve natural color rendition without noticeable color cast.

Advantages

The ND32 filter gives full control over exposure and motion effects while keeping color fidelity. It enables use of wider apertures and longer shutter speeds to achieve motion blur, silky water, or softened clouds. The locking design provides quick, tool-free mounting and secure retention with no unintended rotation. The filter is supplied with a protective shockproof case and cleaning cloth for safe transport and maintenance.
