Neutral density camera filter Kenko ND8 Slim 62mm — 62 mm filter size, black

Kenko ND8 Slim 62mm is a neutral density camera filter with a 62 mm thread size that reduces incoming light by three stops. The slim profile is designed to minimise vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses. Supplied as a single black filter, the ND8 lets photographers extend shutter speeds up to eight times longer than without a filter, enabling controlled long exposures and motion blur effects in bright conditions while also allowing wider aperture selection for depth-of-field control.

Advantages

The slim construction reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and keeps the optical path compact. Neutral density filtration provides predictable three-stop light reduction without affecting colour balance, allowing exposure control in bright environments. The 62 mm thread size fits lenses with the same filter thread, and the single-piece design is lightweight and easy to carry.

Suitable for

• Long exposure photography of waterfalls, rivers and seascapes
• Creating motion blur for moving subjects such as clouds, water or traffic
• Controlling depth of field in bright daylight to use wider apertures
• Outdoor landscape and nature photography in strong light

Key specifications

• Filter type: Neutral density (ND8), three-stop light reduction
• Filter thread size: 62 mm
• Profile: Slim (low-profile design to reduce vignetting)
• Finish / colour: Black
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Attach the Kenko ND8 Slim 62mm to a lens with a 62 mm filter thread by screwing it onto the front. Meter or use camera settings for the scene and then increase exposure time by approximately three stops (about eight times longer shutter speed) to achieve the desired long-exposure or motion-blur effect. When composing, check for vignetting on very wide focal lengths and use a tripod for stability during long exposures. Remove the filter when additional light is required or when shooting with very fast shutter speeds without ND effect.

Usage recommendations

Use a sturdy tripod and a remote release or self-timer to avoid camera shake during long exposures. Preview exposure with live view or test shots and adjust shutter speed as needed for the intended blur or smoothness. For colour-critical work, check white balance in-camera or in post-processing; the neutral density filter is designed to maintain colour fidelity but custom adjustments may be necessary.
