Well. Technically it’s two polarization filters on top of eachother and to make it darker you rotate a single polarization filter and for the removal of reflections the ring rotates both filters equally in same direction.

[curiosity]

For anyone wondering how it removes reflected light:
Reflected light is usually polarised, and polarised light passing through a polariser at a particular angle can cancel out the light waves.

[rx-heaven]

I highly recommend this for photographers who use their VND and CPL filter IN COMBINATION often. Otherwise, and this applies to most photographers, I would not recommend it.
The reason why is that even when you set either of these filters to their minimum setting, they aren't entirely neutral and are still filtering to a degree.
This means that when you want to use your CPL but need to let as much light in as possible, even with the VND on its lowest setting, it will be restricting a small amount of light from coming through.
If you want to use your VND but want as much reflection as possible (like a shot of a lake that mirrors its surrounds) or the saturation to be as natural as possible, even with the CPL at it's lowest setting it will still be polarising the light to a degree.
These two filters aren't necessarily always going to be used in conjunction with each other. I highly recommend having them separate to allow you more freedom with your photography and to get the most out of your lenses.

Now this is what we all need in life. I'm not even a photographer.

Correction: a polarizer (or more precise polarisation filter) does not remove reflections on metallic surfaces or regular mirrors as their reflection is caused by a metal coating on glass.

[definingslawek]

I wish some brand would come out and sell vnds, nds and polarisers for reasonable prices. There’s no way you can build a lens with computers, motors, aperture blades and complex glass elements for 300-600 dollars but a mass produced piece of straight glass with a plastic film glued to it is 200-400.

[PoonamKumari-lky]

Well, just any fader-nd can achieve the same. You just need to rotate the entire filter once you nail in the exposure, it will work as polarizer in conjunction. Been doing that since i got my first fader-nd.

the rotating animation looks like german aiming system on tanks from ww2

Use it to take pictures of sunlight coming through clouds. It makes rainbows in them that are usually hard to see without wearing polarized sunglasses while looking through something like a polarized sun roof window

I have a love/hate relationship with this filter. I am a nature/landscape photographer and used this heavily for a year. Love: Great concept, does work well for me. Hate: A heavy filter that has loosened my favorite zoom lens because of the weight. Lens needs serviced as the lens extends by itself now when I carry my camera on shoots PLUS although it's "good glass" it casts images with a green tint requiring correction in post. Great but not perfect.

And it's yours at the price you could even buy a second hand car with!

Asking for a friend
Does it make it easier to take photos through someone else’s window?

[jpdj]

old school technology. In the 1960s, two linear polarizers of which one is stationary and the other rotates. Was your average cinematographer's tool to shoot a fade-out or fade-in. When cameras got TTL exposure meters - and now sensors - the linear polarizers became a problem to proper light metering. Enter circular polarizers.
One challenge is for the polariser to retain colour neutrality across its working range.
The innovation here? that it is possible to align the two filters and then rotate them as if they are one circular polariser used to suppress reflections (which only works when the reflecting surface polarises the light it reflects, btw, which metal surfaces may not do, so a photographer can work around that by firing polarised light at such surfaces).

[evilpigskin]

Will be here for sure! That thing looks great!

[chainlearn]

Can you set the col filter to have zero effect when you not need it?

[mohammadtalalqureshi]

That's dope man a must have lens 🔥

[ixamraxi]

Variable ND Filters are two polarizing filters stacked on top of each other, it would be difficult for them to not also be polarizing filters...

[dasnadinchen]

bought this last week, only thing that's a bummer is, that the lens cap does not stay up on this filter :(

[drrenard]

Well of course. All VND would also be a circular polarizer as a VND is a circular polarizer on top of another. If you buy 2 circular polarizers and place them together, you made a VND. Though I will say that the interface is nice. If it is not too much more than two circular polarizers, this would be nice for the interface it uses.

[mattia.astorino]

At the price of 4 good filters... just put your normal CPL over a standard variable ND and you're done.
