Love this ND filter, it fits perfect on the Fujifilm 23mm f/2.8 pancake lens and has great range different lighting.

a bit disappointing

Had a chance to use the filter and there was some pretty heavy color cast at darkest setting. My skills can be in part to blame but was hoping for better. The example attached is a cell phone photo of a raw file I took with the filter at full darkness. I know some color cast can be fixed in post but thought the quality of this one would have bypassed the amount I got in this example in addition to some artifacts. General take away is that I'm happy to have a ND filter now but worried that there will be images that will be ruined beyond my editing skills to bring back from this amount of color cast.

I think I have seen some VND's have a total size larger than its threading part, which ends up blocking the ability to mount a lens hood. Does the size of this filter prevent the mounting of a lens hood?
Asked by: Jonathan
Most Variable ND filters have a larger outer diameter than the thread in size. Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (58mm) has a front and mount thread of 58mm. However, the outer diameter of this filter is 62mm therefore if your lens hood is not wide enough it may not fit with this filter mounted on your lens.

Many variable neutral density filters either cause a color shift at darker settings or the dreaded "X-effect" on wide angle lenses. Does this filter suffer from those issues?
Asked by: James
Any variable ND over 6-7 stops can create the X-effect. And that is the deign and physics of a variable ND filter. And it depends on the lens you are using and the light you are shooting under. As for the color shift almost all have some color shift including the Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (77mm). These are higher models of filters, https://bhpho.to/3TSB4JH

Does it have hard stops?

Does it have hard stops?
Asked by: Kjetil
The Urth ND2-400 (1-8.6 Stop) Variable ND Lens Filter (82mm) features smooth twist adjustments rather than hard stops for each stop. This allows for seamless and precise control over the amount of light reduction. The filter can be easily adjusted to achieve the desired exposure without any abrupt changes or limitations.

What size is the outside thread for a cap?

What size is the outside thread for a cap?
Asked by: Diane
It must be different to use a 46mm snap cap/pinch type cap? I tried to use a 46mm screw in cap and it was too small to screw into the front threads on the filter. ~ Diane M
