Smart FAQs

Q: What does ND2–ND400 mean and how many stops does it give?

A: ND2–ND400 indicates the variable neutral density range — roughly 1 to 9 stops of light reduction, allowing everything from slight dimming to substantial light cut for long exposures.

Q: Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?

A: The slim aluminium frame reduces vignetting risk, but very wide-angle lenses plus large thread adapters can still vignette. Choose the correct thread size and consider a wider-diameter adaptor if needed.

Q: Can I stack this with a polarizer or other filters?

A: Stacking is possible but can increase the risk of uneven darkening or the “X” effect at extreme ND settings. For best results, use high-quality filters and test combinations before critical shoots.

Q: How do I avoid the cross-polarization “X” pattern?

A: The “X” pattern can appear at extreme settings and with lower-quality variable NDs. Rotate the filter within moderate ranges, or use a fixed ND for very strong reductions. Hama’s multi-coating helps minimize artifacts.

Q: How do I clean and care for the filter?

A: Use the included cloth and a blower to remove dust, then gently wipe with a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and store the filter in its protective case when not in use.

Q: What warranty and support does Vlebazaar provide?

A: This product includes the Hama manufacturer warranty. Vlebazaar also offers customer assistance for product queries, authenticity verification, and support through the claims/returns process as per our policies.
