LEE Filters ELVND6-967 Variable Neutral Density Filter 77mm 6-9 Stops

With an optical density range of 1.8 to 2.7, this variable neutral density filter delivers 6 to 9 stops of light reduction, enabling dramatic long exposures and wide apertures even in bright sunlight. The 77mm screw-in design fits directly onto lenses with matching threads, and the multi-coated optical glass ensures minimal color shift and flare for clean, accurate results.

Overview

The LEE Filters ELVND6-967 is a premium variable neutral density filter that combines two polarizing elements to provide continuous light control from ND64 to ND512. Its smooth, indexed rotation mechanism allows precise adjustments, with hard stops at both minimum and maximum density to prevent over-rotation. The low-profile aluminum frame reduces vignetting on wide-angle lenses, while the front thread accepts additional 77mm filters or lens caps.

What stands out

• Variable density from 6 to 9 stops for flexible exposure control
• High-quality optical glass with multi-coating for color neutrality
• Smooth rotation with hard stops at min and max positions
• Low-profile design minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses
• Dual 77mm threads allow stacking filters or attaching lens caps
