Haida NanoPro Magnetic ND Filter ND 1.8 (64x) 6-Stop 67mm without Adapter Ring

The magnetic adapter ring is already on your lens and you are missing a 6-stop neutral density filter? That is exactly what the Haida NanoPro Magnetic ND 1.8 in 67mm is for. It snaps on magnetically in a second and lengthens your exposure time by a factor of 64. Please note: this filter ships without an adapter ring. If you do not own one yet, you need to order the ring separately.

• ND 1.8 (64x): cuts light by 6 stops
• Magnetic mount: snap on instead of screwing in
• Glass just 0.8mm thin, stackable with other Haida magnetic filters
• Fits smaller threads via magnetic step-up ring
• Supplied without magnetic adapter ring

Longer exposures without touching the filter thread

Six stops for water, clouds and wide apertures

1/60 s becomes roughly 1 s, 1/4 s becomes 16 s. That is enough to smooth a stream or waterfall, calm waves or show clouds in motion. In bright sun it also lets you shoot or film wide open without running out of shutter speed.

Swap filters in a second

The filter snaps onto the ring and comes off just as quickly. No cross-threading, no fiddling with cold fingers. It is a real help when setting up: frame and focus while the viewfinder is still bright, then add the ND filter afterwards.

Thin glass, tough coating

The glass is only 0.8mm thick, so the filter sits very flat. The NanoPro coating is scratch resistant and repels water and oil. Spray from a waterfall or a fingerprint wipes off quickly with a microfibre cloth.

Works on smaller lenses too

With a Haida magnetic step-up ring, the 67mm filter also fits lenses with a smaller filter thread, such as 62mm. The step-up ring doubles as the adapter ring, so that lens needs no second ring.

What this looks like in practice

At a mountain stream in changing light

The camera is on the tripod and the adapter ring is on the lens. You compose without a filter, focus on the rock in the foreground and snap on the ND 1.8. At f/11 and ISO 100 you end up at one to two seconds: the water turns soft but keeps its texture. When the sun comes out from behind a cloud, you swap to a stronger filter in a second or take it off altogether.

What you should know before ordering

The adapter ring is not included

The filter has no screw thread and cannot be mounted directly on a lens. You need either the Haida magnetic adapter ring in 67mm or a magnetic step-up ring to 67mm. If you already own a Haida magnetic filter with ring, you have everything you need.

The magnet holds, but not against hard knocks

In normal use the filter sits securely. A solid bump against the lens can dislodge it, though. Keep that in mind over water, on a bridge or in a crowd.

6 stops are not enough for every long exposure

For exposures of half a minute or more in bright daylight this filter is too weak. That is a job for the magnetic 10-stop ND filter. The two can be stacked, but with every extra filter the risk of darkened corners on wide-angle lenses increases.
