This is my second ND1000 filter from GOBE, now I bought a 77mm for my tokina 11-16mm lens I am a landscape photographer, The experience with GOBE products is great the filter was build with high quality and is easy to attach to the lens. The filter came with a metal housing for protection. Great choice.

I ordered this 77mm Variable ND (along with the 77mm CPL) from Amazon US, shipped to Japan where I live, & got it in 10 days, which is faster than average. The company is great with communication regarding tracking your package, & it arrived neatly packaged & in perfect condition. I've only had a chance to take it out once, so I'll update this review if anything changes, but here are my thoughts so far:PROS: Easy to attach / remove (the CPL is a bit harder to take off), nice, even tones, does what it's supposed to. The quality of the glass & the performance are great considering the cost. The construction feels solid.CONS: When used at darker settings you can start to get the X pattern (when the two pieces of overlapping glass in the filter don't line up perfectly they can create a kind of shadowy X in the middle of your shot.) This is pretty common among Variable ND filters, especially at wider angles with darker settings. I'm using it on a Canon 6D with a 24-70 L lens, & it was more noticeable in the 24-35mm range when set in or just before the "Max" setting. It's not totally unexpected from a variable filter, though, so I can't fault it too much. It kind of comes with the territory, so it's not really a problem.OVERALL: I recommend this lens if you're looking for a low cost, high quality Variable ND filter. The key word here is VARIABLE, meaning you're looking for convenience. If you want a filter that avoids the X pattern & maybe performs a bit more consistently, I'd recommend some regular ND filters, which can be stacked if needed. I'm considering buying the ND 1000 (from Gobe, I really like this company) but I still plan on getting a lot of use from this variable one. As an added bonus, Gobe plants 5 trees for each purchase, which makes me happy.

This is my first variable ND filter and Im very happy with it. I got the 77mm version because its a very common size and I already have three lenses that it could fit. Plus with adapters, I can get my smaller lenses to work as well.The filter. Overall its great. Metal construction with a very smooth ring.The stops are marked on the ring and the overall construction is very good.Again this is my first variable ND and so far I'm enjoying it very much.Price is affordable too.

I am using this 77mm filter to protect my wife's Nikon 24-120mm VR lens on her D750. The fit is perfect.The filter appears to be of high quality, and they even supply a cleaning cloth.

The threading of the filter for the lens cap or threaded hood is not 82mm. I just purchased an 82mm lens cap and hood only to find out it is too large. Looks more like it needs to be a 73mm to 75mm thread. The 72mm thread for my lens is correct, however, and works well.Update 11/4/2020: Ordered a 77mm to 82mm step up ring. The ring fits and means that this is a 77mm thread and not an 82mm thread for the cap and hood. If you buy this filter, you will need a hood and lens cap for a 77mm thread.

This is a great filter. The threaded ring is quite narrow, which I like. This is the second one that I've ordered.

It really is a really fantastic Gobe NDX 77mm filter, when you take photos they are really very beautiful, even the very clear and beautiful color and contrast are very happy for this filter, excellent also fast and punctual seller.

I have always used the threaded filters on my camera, going back to my earliest days in photography. And we all know the effort it takes to change one of those filters - you have to unscrew the current filter and then screw the new one onto the lens, a process that takes a couple of minutes, at least. Not always ideal. With this set, you have two threaded options: an empty ring (with no filter or glass of any sort) or a threaded UV filter. The other two filters (a circular polarizer and a neutral density 1000) then attach to either of the previously mounted rings magnetically, so that switching filters just involves pulling the filter off and putting another in place - in just seconds. An excellent option in situations where you might want to change filters frequently. In addition, the set includes a convenient carry case, with separate, padded pockets for each of the filters. This case can be worn on a belt, or attached to camera strap (or in my case, the chest harness I use to carry my camera while hiking), which ensures that the filters are close at hand when you need them. My only complaint is that the magnets are a little bit too weak. At one point, as I was setting my camera down, I bumped the filter and it fell off. Luckily, it does not appear that the filter was scratched or otherwise damaged, but if you use these, you want to be aware that they can be knocked off relatively easily. You probably would never have a problem if you only used them in a studio environment, but if you use them outdoors, especially if you are moving around a lot, you want to be careful with them.
