Now you can polarize your “blurred-motion” images for even more drama and color saturation with the Vari-N-Duo Variable Neutral Density Filter

• Front Min/Max density ring lets you adjust density from 2-2/3 to 8 f/stops — greatly extends exposure times

• Polarization is easily controlled by rotating the ring just behind the Min/Max ring
• The LB Warming Polarizer reduces glare from sky, water, wet rocks, and other reflective surfaces
• Filter thread on front ring of Standard mount lets you add either a Mor-Slo 5-stop Solid ND Filter or a Cokin holder for ND Grad Filters
• Available in 77mm only (Standard and Thin Ring mounts)

When fine-art nature photographer Tony Sweet made the exciting image seen above, he was able to slow his exposure down to 10 seconds to convey the surging action of the mountain stream while he also controlled the specular highlights reflecting off the stones and moss to reveal their true colors — and he did it all with one filter. The new Vari-N-Duo filter combines the ability of the classic Vari-ND filter to slow your shutter speeds anywhere from two to eight f-stops along with the glare and reflection control of the LB Warming Polarizer. To better appreciate the value of the polarizing feature, place your cursor anywhere on the image above and make your own ‘with-and-without’ visual comparison.

“I’ve been very happy shooting with the Vari-ND for the past couple of years,” says Tony, “but I’m ready to say Singh-Ray found a neat way to upgrade it. For my needs, it’s much better to have the LB Warming Polarizer in the same filter. When I was making this image of the stream in Provo, Utah, it was really impressive to see how beautifully the Vari-N-Duo cut out the glare off the rocks and moss.”
