The Urth 95mm Variable ND2 400 + ¼ Black Mist Filter Plus is a professional-grade optical filter designed for photographers and videographers seeking precise exposure control and creative diffusion effects. This dual-function filter combines a variable neutral density filter with a subtle black mist effect in a single unit, eliminating the need for stacking multiple filters. The variable ND component offers adjustable light reduction from ND2 (1 stop) to ND400 (8.6 stops), allowing for flexible shutter speed and aperture adjustments in bright conditions while maintaining optimal image quality. The integrated ¼ black mist element creates a gentle diffusion effect that softens highlights, reduces contrast, and produces subtle halation around bright areas, ideal for achieving a cinematic look with reduced digital sharpness.

Constructed with premium optical glass, this filter features multi-layer nano-coating technology that minimizes reflections, ghosting, and flare while ensuring accurate color reproduction and maximum light transmission. The 95mm filter thread size makes it compatible with a wide range of professional lenses, and the slim aluminum frame prevents vignetting even on wide-angle optics. The variable ND mechanism operates smoothly with precise click-free adjustment, enabling seamless transitions between density settings during video recording.

This filter is particularly valuable for landscape photography requiring long exposures in daylight, portrait work with wide apertures in bright environments, and videography where maintaining specific frame rates and shutter angles is essential. The combination of technical exposure control and artistic diffusion makes this filter a versatile tool for creative professionals who demand both functionality and optical excellence in their workflow.
