Method: Roster covers 11 real, high-search circular screw-in ND filters (fixed and variable) from PolarPro, Breakthrough Photography, NiSi, K&F Concept, Hoya, B+W, Tiffen, Freewell, Urth, Kase and Moment. During adversarial re-verification, specs and prices were re-pulled from manufacturer/official pages that loaded successfully (polarpro.com, breakthrough.photography, nisiopticsusa.com, hoyafilter.com, tiffen.com, freewellgear.com, urth.co, kasefilters.us, kentfaith.com). B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so B&H-only prices could NOT be independently loaded; where a manufacturer/official price was available it was used, and prices that could neither be loaded nor corroborated were set to null rather than guessed. Specific corrections: PolarPro's per-size 77mm price could not be confirmed (manufacturer shows $149.99 base for 2-5 stop/49mm; the draft's $249.99 came from an unloadable B&H page) so priceUsd set null; Hoya source URL moved from the discontinued PROND1000 page to the current ProND EX line page, thread range corrected to 49-82mm, releaseDate nulled; NiSi thread range corrected to 40.5-105mm; K&F source switched to Kent Faith (K&F's official US storefront, verified $93.99); B+W ND 106 is 'No Longer Available' with no current published price so priceUsd set null (kept as verified legacy spec); Moment's Schott B270 glass and 15-layer coating claims were not corroborated by the cited source and were nulled. density_range_stops and common_thread_sizes_mm are given as written on the source. magnetic is a strict boolean for magnetic mounting (adapter-ring magnetic systems marked true since the filter mounts magnetically once the ring is fitted).
