B+W dun have variable.

if u are using canon lens, u can go to canon website to view the specification of your lens. they will state the thread size.

ayuluv.. again, i feel you should spend more time on grasping the basics first before you venture out to other specialised areas.

sure a ND filter can give you silky smooth water and dramatic clouds, but if you are unable to understand the basic exposure theory, it will be even harder for you to achieve anything from the ND filter.

most pple get underexposed pics when they first started out with ND filters and it can get very frustrating as to why you cant get a properly exposed pic even when you add 2, 5, or even 10 more minutes of exposure time to the already very long, long exposure.

anyway, if you are really out to grab a ND filter, just get the pro-standard 77mm diameter. use a step up/down ring if need be.

step down ring is just a ring to transform ur xx diameter lens to fit yy diameter filter.

rule of the thumb is, get the filter based on the biggest diameter of your lenses. then use step down rings for all the rest of the lens, should you want to use the filter on those smaller lenses.

u should buy a 77mm ND filter that will cover all your lens.

but u will need a step up ring (eg 67-77).

well, actually, it's good to have the filter but it is not a must.

just apply the exposure triangle and wait for the right moment, e.g a cloud block the sun, you can shoot in the day too.

+1 to that.

bro ayuluv

the most important is to keep shooting and explore the limitation of the current gear you have first b4 spending money, else you will find most of your lens end up in the dry cabinet.

But I also don't mind you keep buying, so that one fine day, you will sell to us cheaply. lol



lol
