Good for what I paid for it. Same problems as ANY variable filter. Great if you want to carry around just one filter to cover multiple needs while keeping it light.

Got this today tested it out and all my shots were soft or blurred, went to amazon and almost clicked return but I wanted to give it another chance and read the fine print! Voila! At the very bottom of the description it said if blurriness occurs just reduce aperture and it would fix it and it did.

High optical quality filter, just like all their other products. I highly recommend this to all landscape photographers or anyone interested in experimenting with day long exposure as this is a convenient single piece which is affordable as well. It is easy to slide and the gradient change is noticeable yet subtle. It does not leave a colour cast nor does it affect optical quality. The filter may not be the thinnest but it does not leave any colour cast even with wideangle lenses. The luxorious little case and box that it comes in leaves little more to be desired for. This is indeed a top product for its price. I will be purchasing more of their products and will be recommending this to everyone at my workshop. This single piece saves you the trouble of having to keep changing filters which may cause damage or scratch your other filters or even worse, missing the perfect light of the moment.

It's a good product to start. However there is lots of vignetting 2 ticks before reaching the "MAX" setting. That's my only gripe otherwise it's a very high quality product. Just annoying capturing a shot and then realizing it's unusable due to vignetting. Great for those of you who are on a budget and need a decent ND filter but if you have the money I would purchase a more expensive and reputable option right off the get go.

There's a fair bit of the 'black X' effect when it's at a low ND, but a lot of variable ND's have this unless you're balling out on one. I used this every day on my trip to Australia and it worked a charm at allowing me to film at a wider aperture (or a narrow one on really sunny days) and also served as a lens protector

I can't use Hood with this. That's only problem but it works well.With it has numeric indicator

I thought i'd try the budget option instead of the £100+ ones. I used this on a 10-22 lens & as the furthest angles there is a bit of darkness but its a case of zooming in a bit.Some points from my testing:-The screw thread it rather fiddly to put on but can deal with that.-The lens cover won't go on top-Worked brilliantly for very bright sunshine & sunsets (unedited pic attached)

Very easy to use, looks very good material. I love the result. Playing with the white balance you can get much better result. I have tested with ISO 100 f / 1.8 and 1/125 sec. when the sun does not let see anything in the camera, and this has allowed me to put it totally dark and also in a desired tone.
