A very nice filter. So far I cannot complain. It does not seem to produce sun flares or any other noticable distortion like cheaper filters will.

I would not recommend it to a friend, I bought it to use it for taking shots of the ocean against the rocks, well when I place it to Max it does not close the whole disc black but does a star shape so that in the picture the corners are blown out and it gives a lot of cross-polarization. I was told it is common when you buy variable density filters that are not fixed. I just bought and received the Image ND 2 4 6 replacement filter kit and worked much better for me for what I was trying to accomplish. updated - Oct 27th - I am told that to use this filter it is best used at a 90 degree angle of the sun, that is you place your sholder facing the sun then stick your arm out in front of you at that in 90 degrees to help with flare and cross-polarization.

Amazing set up for my house to have small photo shoots! It brightens up my space like the sun is beaming right in! I love it! This in conjunction with my GLAMCOR lights because I am a makeup artist is the most amazing set up!

I use a uv filter to protect the lens, but sometimes you get glaring if pointed near the sun as expected as they all do unless its coated. Good lens.

I really like this filter and the opportunity to really enrich a photo by eliminating the glare. With that said, at first I was not sure that it was working correctly, as I was not getting the results I was expecting. I then realized I had no idea how to use it! So for those that may not know, you need to the 90 degrees to the light source in order for the polarizer to work, or close to it. Once I learned, I really like it!I would and have recommended this product!

I bought this filter to use in bright sun light with flash without always having to use hss.

I Purchased the Celestron Travel Scope 70 Telescope for travel and remote Photo shoots with myself and Husband. With the stats reading 400 focal length We also knew it would take the place of a "Focal Reducer" for Moon and Sun shots (full view) and provide wonderful wide field vista shots as well. Our expectations have been exceeded. Yes, the Scope comes with a standard Camera tripod, which wobbles. Though by adding about 5 pounds of weight,(rocks, etc.) to the tripod (sling the pack under the tripod frame hanging under the center) It stabilizes nicely. We used this Scope just yesterday to Photo Shoot the Venus Transit across the Sun on a computerized mount with Excellent results! The finder scope is touchy, though all of them are, (and upside down) unless you wish to pay $60.00 just for a right side up finder scope. One can "add on" to this little Scope later. The Eye Pieces are of Kellners design; (A Celestron favorite to "package" with Scopes), and are of Quality Craftsmanship. The Service was in fact Outstanding, with the Package at my door three days after opening. Can't go wrong with this Scope for It has many Practical uses when "there's nothing to see in the sky". Take a Road Trip and a Camera, you'll get some great Tele Photo views!

I used this filter to test the Gopro10 video with a lot of sun... It works as expected and I can get a good level of exposure and at the same time little bit more motion blur... Good product at a.good price. Raccomended for sure... Next time I will buy the "day kit" with more different filters. The material is robust and easy to mount. You can rotate the filter to add the polarization. Happy.
