Camera lens neutral density filter Calumet CALSAN0462 62 mm — single pack

Calumet CALSAN0462 is a 62 mm neutral density (ND) filter designed to reduce the amount of light entering the lens without altering color balance. This single-pack ND filter lets photographers control exposure in bright conditions to achieve slower shutter speeds and wider apertures while maintaining image quality. The glass is treated with 28 multi-layer coatings to improve light transmission, resist reflections and provide surface protection.

Advantages

The Calumet ND filter provides controlled light reduction for creative effects such as motion blur and shallow depth of field while preserving neutral color rendering. Its 28-layer coating improves contrast and reduces ghosting and flare, and the slim profile helps avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses when stacked. The single-pack format makes it simple to add to an existing kit without extra bulk.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography for long exposures (waterfalls, rivers, moving clouds)
• Portraits to enable wide apertures and shallow depth of field in bright light
• Architectural shots where moving elements should be softened or removed
• Video production to maintain appropriate shutter speed and aperture in strong lighting

Key specifications

• Filter type: neutral density (ND)

• Light reduction level: ND4 (reduces light by 2 stops)
• Coating: 28 multi-layer coatings for improved transmission and reduced reflections

How to use

Attach the 62 mm ND filter to the front of a lens with a matching filter thread by carefully screwing it on until secure. Use the filter to decrease light by the specified stop value, allowing longer shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. When composing long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod to avoid motion blur from camera shake. Check exposure with the filter mounted and adjust ISO, aperture and shutter speed as needed.

Usage recommendations

When using the Calumet CALSAN0462 ND filter, verify that the filter thread matches your lens (62 mm). For long exposures, combine the filter with a sturdy tripod and a remote shutter release or self-timer. Avoid overtightening the filter and clean coated surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and appropriate lens cleaner to preserve the multi-layer coatings.
