Variable ND on M43

I am currently travelling with an EM 1 2 and th 12-100. It is a terrific combo for travelling. There have been a couple of times when an ND would have been helpful. I have used ND filters for many years but want light gear while travelling. I am aware of variable screw on NDs and wonder how they perform.

Anyone using them, and any suggestions for a brand. By default, I would buy Schneider or B+W.

I may be a bit slow responding as wifi is only available in the local pub.

I’ve been hearing great things about these ND filters as they aren’t supposed to exhibit any color shift. A little on the pricy side IMO but if color consistency is important then they may be worth checking out.

Thanks. I found that the PolarPro doesn’t come in a 72mm version so that became a showstopper. I always use a lens hood so step down rings were going to be a problem. I ended up with a Breakthrough 3 stop which I will experiment with to see if it does the job.
