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 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.

Great purchase, easy on the wallet and to use. I’m not sure if it’s a drawback or not but you can’t use your lens hood with this filter on your lens. Kinda I guess.

For the price this is a great nd filter, The only downside is that you get a slight green colour cast but nothing you can’t fix in post production, otherwise great filter.

Love it works great. However! if you have a 58mm thread you will need to buy a 62mm lense cover as the front thread is larger than the back thread and the 58mm will not fit. Just a helpful tip when looking into buying this product.

Long exposure. At first I hardly used it, now I'm a huge fan. I shopped around and found the perfect tripod (carbon-fiber Manfrotto, also great). When that arrived, I mentioned to my friend I was planning on getting waterfalls with a slow shutter speed, and he said, "You gotta ND filter, right?" I knew I had a trip up to Letchworth coming up that weekend. That evening I rushed onto Amazon, shopped around, and found this product. Perfect size for my Zeiss 50mm and 35mm!
I didn't really get the chance to mess with this ND filter until I arrived at Letchworth and wow was I blown away! The crisp rolling ring and the crisp shade of black make this such an incredible product. So worth the price! I'm blown away by how it doesn't degrade the quality of my captures my lenses can get.
I love long exposure now. With my lightweight tripod and my filter, I can only grow.
I included a picture of a covered bridge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park taken with this filter. It was a eight second shutter speed.
