I’ve just spend some time with an impressive set of Variable Neutral Density filters from Freewell.  This is the second time I’ve reviewed their products, and I’ve been pleasantly impressed both times by the innovation and quality of the products along with the reasonable pricing structure.  In this case I reviewed their two different Vari-ND options:  2-5 stops and 6-9 stops.  While some filter companies attempt to cover all this range in one filter, I think that Freewell has been wise to employ this segmenting, as I’ve reviewed a few others before that forfeited optical quality for larger range.  You can both check out my video review below along with seeing some of the photos I took with the filters.  I primarily used the the Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 RXD and 28-75mm F2.8 RXD lenses on a Sony a7RIII body.
