p.1 #1 · Breakthrough photography X2 vs X4 ND filters


Anyone has experienced the X2 ND filters? I've seen a lot of good reviews about the X4 series but can find nothing about the X2 series. Planning to use them for video and landscape photos.

Is the X4 worth the price premium for serious hobbyists? I don't make any money from photography and X2 is significantly cheaper. The 25 year warranty is astounding for both series.

look at the differences and make your choice they are both excellent quality.

somewhat different frame design (updated from the original X2) and made from aluminum alloy vs brass
H-K9L glass vs Schott B270
4 layers of coating per side vs 8 layers

Hi Sjms, thanks for sharing the differences. I understand they are made of different materials, but how does that translate to the real world?

If Breakthrough Photography made side by side photo comparisons with X2 and X4 ND filters I could decide easily!

well i much prefer the brass alloy rings and i thing the optical difference will be down to the glass you are using overall. i would say the vast amount of the world population will not see a visual difference unless they are something special. now you can buy one of each and try them out and decide using your own side by side and send the 2nd place filter back. they are very good about these things.

Ah, I could do that. I live in Asia so probably have to cover the return shipping. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll contact them!
