LCW Variable ND Filter Mark II

ND2 to ND400 all in one.

After reading few reviews on this Vari ND Filter, I have come out with some test shots for you to compare since other websites/reviews doesn't show the details of the Vari ND Filter.

When i received this new toy, i was excited to test them. I got the 77mm Vari ND filter with two step up rings. a 52mm and 72mm. Why a 52mm ring? it's for my handy Lumix Lx3.
These photos was taken by Panasonic Lumix Lx3, a 46-52mm ring and 52-77mm ring with LCW vari ND.

The box comes with a 82mm lens cap. Yup, a 82mm lens cap, they make the filter larger to avoid vignetting in the photos, which is really great!

Maximum
With the maximum setting, you have zero visibility. And it's hard to focus your subject. This is why Vari ND filter comes to the rescue. Focus with the minimum settings, rotate and shoot.

Tthe markings on the filter doesn't emphasizes on how many stops, it is just a marker. You have to play around on how much light you want to capture.
