What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about the maximum reduction: the feature claims 8.66 f-stops and ND400, while the product description says ND400 equals 9 stops. The listed filter factor is 29.69 x. Treat these figures as claims rather than a single reconciled rating. Do not rotate past the rim's MAX mark. The description warns that wide-angle use beyond 5 or 6 stops can cause vignetting, with a dark X possible if turned beyond the marked range. Confirm lens suitability and cap or hood fit before buying.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Photographers and videographers with a 49mm-thread lens who want variable light reduction for long exposures or motion blur.
- Users working in changing light who prefer adjusting one filter rather than swapping fixed ND filters.
Less suited to
- Owners of wide-angle or telephoto lenses, which the listing does not recommend for this filter.
- Anyone who needs a standard lens cap or sun visor to fit over the mounted filter.

What thread size does the GOBE G49JONDX fit?

The listing does not recommend wide-angle use. Its description also warns that use beyond 5 or 6 stops can cause vignetting.
Will my lens cap fit over it?
