{"product_id":"marumi-grey-filter-nd4x-49-mm","title":"Marumi Grey Filter ND4X 49 mm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMarumi Grey Filter ND4X 49 mm | Create motion blur in bright light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining choice is the ND4X light reduction: it lets you use a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture when the scene is bright. As a grey neutral-density filter, it cuts the light reaching the camera to one quarter, giving you a two-stop adjustment without changing the scene’s lighting. That makes it useful for photographers who want more control over exposure in daylight, particularly when a faster shutter would freeze movement they’d rather show as a blur. It can also help you open the aperture while keeping your chosen shutter speed. This 49 mm filter is for a lens with a matching filter thread, so it’s a straightforward way to add light reduction to that lens. Its strength is a measured adjustment, rather than a dramatic cut in light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePutting the light reduction to work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor flowing water or moving clouds, the slower shutter speed can turn movement into a visible trail. The same reduction can be useful for portraits outdoors when you want a wider aperture in bright conditions. Set your exposure with the filter in place, then adjust shutter speed or aperture to suit the effect you want. An ND4X is a moderate reduction, so it won’t replace stronger filtration when you need a much longer exposure in very bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposure is easy to plan with this filter: think of it as giving you two stops to trade between shutter speed and aperture. If a daylight exposure calls for 1\/100 sec, for example, you can use about 1\/25 sec at the same ISO and aperture to show movement in water. The 49 mm size makes it a neat fit for a lens with a 49 mm filter thread; it’s worth matching that measurement before you head out. I’d suggest it to someone who wants a restrained amount of light reduction for outdoor portraits or gentle motion blur. Its limit is just as clear: for very long exposures in strong sun, you’ll need a stronger ND filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Marumi Grey Filter ND4X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter diameter: 49 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Marumi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503497158996,"sku":"150549","price":6.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/150549_01.jpg?v=1791566431","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/marumi-grey-filter-nd4x-49-mm","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
