Description
Heliopan Neutral Density Filter. From 1 to 10 stops.
The most comprehensive range of filter densities and sizes available. An enticing range of densities from 1 stop all the way up to 10 stops.
ND filters are important tools for controlling light reduction. They allow reduced depth of field under bright lighting since the aperture can be faster and, in addition, they permit longer time exposures with stronger ND filters in sunlight.
With the modern trend for increasing fast aperture lenses, a ND filter becomes even more useful. One of the benefits of a fast lens is being able to photograph with minimal depth of field. But bright light can make that a frustrating experience. A suitable set of ND filters allow for the controlled reduction in light levels. Better control over the dynamic range of the image.
Higher density filters are very useful for dramatically reducing the shutter speed. A highly effective technique is it’s use in landscape and seascape photography, where it can create a ghostly, mist like look. Water, clouds, riverscapes take on a otherworldly scene.
Using glass from The Schott Group, Heliopan’s ND Filters are highly renowned for their colour neutrality. Even the higher density filter like the 10 stop are neutral meaning less fuss for post processing of colour casts. One of the great things about a Heliopan ND filter is that it’s screw thread or bayonet, so no concern over light leakage or bothersome foam seals.
Video users will appreciate the range of densities and colour neutrality.

Established in 1949, Heliopan was founded by Mr.Martin Summer.ย Made in Germany, Heliopan manufacture their filters using the highest level of precision. Filter blanks are cut and then ground to be absolutely parallel. Essential when you don’t want focus shift. The glass filter are mountedย in high quality anodised brass mounts which virtually eliminate binding. Available in either single coated or SH-PMC Multi-Coated versions.
Heliopan offer the ND0.3 and ND0.6 filters as SH-PMC types. Higher densities are not made as the multi-coating affects the colour balance of the filter. Wisely Heliopan, rather than disappoint users with a compromised product, only offer these two densities.
Heliopan also offer a Variable ND filter of an equally uncompromising quality.
