Only useable above 30mm
I wanted to slow down my shutter speeds to smooth out lake water etc. I assumed (incorrectly) that the fader and the polarizer portions wouldn't affect each other, but that's incorrect.
Once one sets the ND fader to its most dense (32) no matter how you turn the outside ring, (which affects the polarizer,) you will have dark areas somewhere in the frame. This only goes away around 30mm, which is how most polarizers work, and I was aware of. I had assumed I could just have it "not working" while I used the ND properties.
So if you want to use this, it is pretty much useless below 30mm as you'll get dark spots. Note the top two corners of my example plus the lower left corner. If I turn the polarizer (front ring) those spots just move to other spots. I should have bought a set of ND screw-on filters instead for my purposes. Unfortunately, there is no documentation or information anywhere on K&F site or reviews that would have alerted me to this drawback.
