All Brands of Variable ND filters are made from 2 polarizers,
When using Ultra Wide's you will get the same uneven "polarization" with the Variable ND effect as you will get using any circular polarizer or linear polarizer on any ultra wide lenses. You will also get strange results if you operate any Variable ND outside the marked range on the vari's filter mounting rings.

If you need to control Depth of Field on a ultra wide, it is still best to use regular solid ND filters now up to 7 stops.
When you go past 4 f/stops on many brands of HD SLR cameras you will sometimes get a spike in the IR light range, causeing strange colors
Your regular ND filter or ND Vario is holding back so much of just the visible light, the built in IR filters on the sensors are not strong enough to correct the color. Then it is best to use ND solid filters with IR filtration built in or add a Hot Mirror IR blocking filter along with the Variable ND

In testing here at 2filter we have found the Tiffen Vari ND filters polarizing foils are neutral. The 2filter Tech Guy is in the process of shooting test shots from all the popular brands of variable ND faders. 2filter has tried some units made in China, most have been way off color and lot of Photoshop or post production time to correct file colors, if you even can. Some Variable ND Faders are so off color you better shoot in B+W only. Other brands from China, 2filter has seen dust in between the 2 polarizers and finger prints, which you just can not clean! The Tiffen VND filter is constructed so you can remove the top optical polarizer to clean the inside optics of the variable filter. When taking any ND variable filter apart, if you can for cleaning. The precise alignment to the orginal location/position in the rotating ring including also the front and back position of the polarizer after cleaning of is critical for the range marks of min to max to be correct and the ND variable filter to work as new

The New Hitech-Formatt Multistop has a much larger front element to avoid vignetting
