REVIEW: Freewell Variable ND Filters

In this video, I review and demo the new variable ND filters from Freewell.

In the video, I mentioned that you can download my test images, the images I took with the filters, for free. Unfortunately, it was very bright out when I had time to test out the filters so I didn't achieve any long shutter speeds but the download should give you enough info to determine how good these filters are. For reference, for each image, I focused on a point directly between the two park benches. Engraved on the cement sidewalk near that point are some dedications so, if you zoom in, you should be able to determine how much the filters degraded the image, if at all. Download the images here:



The three files are:

_DSC2491.nef - No filter used

_DSC2492.nef - 2-5 stop filter used, dialed all the way up to 5.

_DSC2493.nef - 6-9 stop filter used, dialed all the way up to 9.
