Neutral Density Filter Lee Filters Little Stopper 82mm (10-stop light reduction)

The LEE Filters Little Stopper in 82mm screw-in format is a neutral density filter that provides a 10-stop reduction in light, enabling much longer exposures for motion blur and creative long-exposure photography. Made from high-grade optical glass and finished with multilayer nano coatings, this filter is built to work with modern lenses and sensors while resisting scratches, moisture and fingerprints. It is supplied with a protective case and cleaning cloth.

Advantages

The Little Stopper offers a consistent 10-stop light reduction in an easy-to-attach screw-in design, allowing photographers to achieve extended shutter speeds for smooth water, streaked clouds and controlled depth-of-field in bright conditions. The multilayer nano coatings improve durability, simplify cleaning and reduce the risk of reflections. The oversized machined-alloy outer ring provides a robust grip for secure handling and helps minimise vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

Suitable for

• Long-exposure landscape photography
• Seascapes and smooth-water effects
• Cloud movement and sky-motion captures
• Architecture and urban scenes requiring controlled shutter speeds
• Creative motion-blur photography

How to use

Screw the filter onto the lens front thread (82mm) until secure. Compose and focus with the filter attached if required; for best focus accuracy, some photographers prefer to focus first and then attach the filter. Use a tripod for long exposures and select an appropriate shutter speed to achieve the desired motion blur. Check the viewfinder or live view for composition and exposure, and use a remote release or self-timer to avoid camera shake.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results use the Little Stopper on a stable tripod, employ mirror lock-up or a remote shutter release where available, and bracket exposures if you need to ensure correct exposure. Clean the filter with the supplied cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the nano coatings.
