ProMaster 52mm Variable ND - Digital HGX ProMaster SKU: 9308 | Helix SKU: PR9308 Overview The ProMaster Digital HGX Variable Neutral Density Filter provides light reduction of about 1.3 to 8.6 stops.

REPELLAMAX™ Element Resistant Coating – This exclusive ProMaster coating repels moisture, fingerprints, dust, dirt, and grime to ensure the sharpest images possible. Hardened Optical Glass – Ultra hardened optical glass resists surface scratching and stands up to the most intensive use. Low Profile Anti-Reflective Frame – Ultra thin low profile frame helps prevent vignetting on super wide digital format lenses. The satin-like smooth finish helps to minimize reflected light. Black Rimmed Glass – The outer rim of the filter glass is treated with a special black-ink.
