I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and selected the best offers currently available, which I think could be interesting for you. This week I chose to include only deals from B&H, as they have special time-limited offers, which might be worth a look. Primarily, these offers are for our readers based in North and South America, yet B&H also offers worldwide shipping. By shopping at our partners’ stores, you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.

B&H: Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter – $50 Discount

ND filters should be in every mirrorless or DSLR filmmaker’s kit. They can limit the light entering the lens and allow keeping the shutter angle close to 180º. Variable ND filters are quicker to work with, but sometimes lack the optical quality and shift the colors of the image. Tiffen is an experienced US filter manufacturer, so their Vari ND should have good quality. This particular one provides 2 to 8 stops of light control with a rotating ring to choose the degree of ND. The discounted offer also includes an 82mm version.
