B+W B + W 62 mm F-PRO Mount 106 Single Coated +6 Stop Neutral Density Filter

This B+W grey filter reduces light by six stops. With this filter and without changing the F-stop, a shutter speed of 1/60s is changed to a full second, so the use of a tripod is required. Flowing water is shown as flowing in the photo and people in streets move into blur or become invisible. Due to its higher transmission in red over 660nm, this filter brings a slightly warm tone to color photos. If this effect is undesirable, a B+W UV/IR blocking filter 480 in front of the neutral density filter (not behind) fixes this situation. The filter factor is 64x. Manufacturer's Description Neutral density filters, or grey filters, are used if too much light restricts creative possibilities. They reduce the light in accordance with their density; they therefore allow longer exposure times or more widely opened apertures.These filters are excellent for enabling movement to be captured in an image – by allowing longer exposure times. For example water can appear soft and smoky, rather than frozen in time.Grey filters can create ingenious effects in architecture or urban photography too, with long exposures times of several hours, people walking through the shot are blurred or can even ‘disappear’ completely.With this filter and without changing the f-stop, a shutter speed of 1/60 s is changed to a full second, thus requiring the use of a tripod. Flowing water is rendered as flowing in the photo, and people moving in streets are dissolved in unsharpness or become invisible. Because of its higher transmission in the red beyond 660 nm, this filter brings a slightly warm tone to color photographs. If this effect is undesirable, a B+W UV-/IR-Blocking Filter 486 in front of the neutral density filter (not behind it!) remedies that situation. The filter factor is 64x.
