FAQs

What does ND64 mean?

ND64 indicates the filter's strength. It reduces the light entering the lens by 6 stops, meaning it allows only 1/64th of the light to pass through compared to no filter.

Can I stack this filter with other filters?

Yes, you can stack this filter with other filters like polarizers or UV filters, but stacking increases the risk of vignetting and internal reflections, especially with wider lenses.

Is this filter suitable for videography?

Yes, it is highly recommended for videography to achieve correct shutter speeds for motion blur in bright conditions.

How does this filter differ from a variable ND filter?

This is a fixed 6-stop ND filter, offering consistent quality and color accuracy. A variable ND filter can be adjusted to different strengths but may introduce color shifts or X-patterns at extreme settings.

Will this filter affect autofocus performance?

In most cases, autofocus performance should remain largely unaffected. However, in extremely low light conditions caused by the filter, autofocus might struggle more than without the filter.

What is the benefit of the thin frame?

The thin frame is designed to prevent vignetting, which is the darkening of the corners of the image, particularly when using wider-angle lenses.

How do I clean the filter safely?

Gently remove dust with a lens brush. For smudges, use a clean microfiber cloth lightly dampened with lens cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (dark corners) in photos

Ensure the filter is the correct size for your lens and that you are not using a very wide-angle lens where even thin filters can cause issues. Try removing lens hoods or extensions if possible.

Color cast (e.g., green or magenta tint)

This filter is designed for true color. If a color cast is present, it may be due to camera white balance settings or post-processing. Ensure your white balance is set correctly or adjust in post.

Difficulty screwing the filter onto the lens

Verify that you have the correct 67mm size. Ensure the lens threads are clean and free of debris. Screw the filter on gently and straight.

Reduced sharpness or contrast

Ensure the filter is clean and free from smudges or dust. The special coatings are designed to minimize this, but a dirty filter will impact image quality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent color neutrality, no noticeable color shift.
  • Effective 6-stop light reduction for creative control.
  • Slim profile reduces vignetting issues.
  • High-quality coatings minimize reflections.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.

Cons

  • Requires a 67mm filter thread on the lens.
  • May not be sufficient for extremely bright conditions requiring more than 6 stops of reduction.
  • Can be challenging to achieve perfect focus with very long exposures through the viewfinder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Screw the Marumi DHG ND64 filter directly onto the front filter threads of your 67mm lens. Ensure it is screwed on straight and snug, but do not overtighten.

Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for lenses with 67mm front filter threads. Always check your lens's specifications for the correct filter size. Marumi offers this filter in various sizes for different lenses.

Care: Clean the filter surface regularly to maintain optimal image quality. Use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust and debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a lint-free microfiber cloth lightly dampened with lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
