The easy way to do long exposure
Top notch quality
The Nisi Vario ND filter consists of two polarizers that rotate one on top of another. You can rotate the filter at a selected position in order to reduce the light of a certain amount and slow down the shutterspeed. The NiSi Vario filter offers between 1.5 stops and 5 stop of density variation. Very suitable for moderate long exposures. The ND effect is adjusted with a practical handle that turns the filter. Really ease to use. This high quality filter does not produce the dreaded X-effect other variable filters produce. Optical performance is as usual from Nisi top notch, and there is no color cast or loss of finer details. The nano coating makes it really easy to wipe off water droplets. The filter also comes in a neat padded box for safe storage.
Easy to use
This filter is really easy to use. Just turn the knob. Thats it. I have tested this filter using one basic setting in aperture mode. In the example images below I have used an aperture of f 11, iso 200 and shutterspeed on auto. I have taken all the shots with this setting, only turned the nd filter to get different shutterspeeds. Thats it. Super easy. This way you can easily experiment to get exactly the shutterspeed the scene need. When it comes to moving water a shutter speed between 1/8 of a sec to 1 sec is usually what you want to get the right motion blurred water, but with enough texture. The Nisi Vario is the perfect tool to achieve that. Its the easiest way to do long exposure.
