At a glance: Urth's 82mm ND2-400 variable ND filter adjusts by turning the ring, and the manufacturer advises against very wide or telephoto lenses.
About this accessory
The Urth 82mm Variable ND Filter changes density as you turn its ring, from about 1 stop (ND2) to 8.6 stops (ND400). It uses Japanese AGC optical glass with a multi-layer nano-coating in an ultra-slim aluminium frame, and screws onto a 82mm lens thread.
One filter gives you repeatable control: turn the ring to set the strength, then read the result on screen. Urth does not recommend it for wide-angle or telephoto lenses, which is worth knowing before you buy.

Suited to long exposures of water and skies, and portraits at wide apertures in strong sun, using lenses of normal focal length. 82mm is a large thread, so confirm the ø mark on your lens before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 82mm Variable ND Filter fit my lens?
It fits any lens with a 82mm filter thread, whatever the make or mount. Look for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number on the front of the lens barrel or inside the lens cap. If it reads 82, this filter screws straight on.
How strong is the Urth ND2-400 filter?
Each stop halves the light. At its lightest setting (ND2) it cuts one stop, and at its darkest (ND400) about 8.6 stops, so you can lengthen a shutter speed several hundred times over.
Does this ND work on any lens?
Urth advises against using this filter on very wide-angle or telephoto lenses. It is best used on lenses of standard focal lengths.
Is a variable ND better than fixed ND filters?
A variable ND is quicker to adjust and covers a range of strengths in one filter. Fixed filters, like Urth's ND kits, give set strengths of 3, 6 or 10 stops and are a choice if you prefer no adjustment.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
