I love these filters, but I really wish you could put your lens cap on them. There is no loss of sharpness like other cheap variable NDs have. Love it. Would certainly reccomend to another cinematographer. I use them for getting the correct shutter speed with my cinematography.

You don't find much of a 'consensus' online. There's even disagreement about some subjects just because 'trolls' like to disagree. Even among more civilized discussion, you'll seldom find consensus. This is particularly true with experts in any field. Doctors all have different opinions on how to treat a certain illness, chefs have different opinions on cuisine or ingredients, etc.Kase filters are an exception. The consensus among serious photographers is that they're somewhere between 'excellent' and 'the best filters I've ever used'. More specifically, there's virtually universal enthusiasm for the Kase Wolverine Magnetic Filter system. It's not often that high level quality products deliver serious convenience, but that's the prevailing opinion about the Kase Wolverine system. The terms 'revolutionary' and 'close to perfect' get tossed around frequently, particularly when discussing the ease of use relative to screw in filters.I have to concur. I don't consider myself a 'serious photographer'. I'm what is known as a 'content creator' that is trying to become a competent photographer. I've always used screw in filters and 'revolutionary' is an apt description here. This particular product is for the Canon EF lens system but I've also used them with a couple of my Nikkor Z lenses.Here's how they work--at least in general terms. You can use the filters with a circular adapter ring that attaches to the lens. This screws into the filter threads on the front of the lens. At this point, you can attached the circular filters magnetically. The magnetic filters are also stackable--put a filter onto the adapter ring, and then the magnets will do the work once you put *another* filter on top. Ease of use is off the charts. One thing I like about the system--I'm finding that I'll try out multiple filters to see which one works the best in situations where in the past I would have just gone with one. The transition with the Kase filters is downright seamless.The filter quality is also very good, but the mounting system is the star of the show. Everything feels very durable and well made (not a surprise from Kase) and they include a very nice leather-esque storage case. There's little to say negatively about these filters. I've heard a few people griping that the magnets need to be stronger but in my experience that's not an issue. To the contrary, my experience has been that the magnets are so strong that it sometimes takes a bit of effort to get them off. A game changing system for filter enthusiasts. Very highly recommended!!

This is with out a doubt the best lens for the buck! I use it for low light video and still shots. A massive step up for the kit lens that came with my Canon T3i. The down side is no zoom but for the price you can go wrong. The new model's focus grip is bigger and much easier to use then it's predecessor. It's durable too. I have used it on several trips and hikes. I has taken some punishment and still performs. You should get this lens.

Didn't realise this model has parent control mode for game. Its very similar to Twist model but the later no parent control model and much more expensive. Very satisfied with this model.

This is probably one of the greatest cheap lenses I've ever bought and HIGHLY recommend to have in your arsenal of camera equipment! First day I took it out shot some amazing photos. Great lens for model photography my photos are unedited and RAW.

Hoya filters are always my filters of choice since the early 1970s.

I think I would have better preferred the previous model of this lens for manual focus. I like the focus ring to physically move the elements, not some crappy stepping motor. The motor makes a lot of noise during video. this thing sure is sharp as a tack.

I've been using this lens for a few months, and I am extremely pleased. I've used the previous model of this lens extensively in the past, and I used to always recommend it to people and claim that it was the best lens you could get in the $100 price range. Since trying this newer model I was blown away! Canon has improved the lens dramatically while keeping it at the same price! What you get with this lens is great picture quality, an excellent aperture range (a low aperture number like f/1.8 is what allows you to get shots where one thing is in focus and the background is extremely blurry), a very handy fixed focal length, superb autofocus that's relatively quiet, all packaged in a lightweight body. The only downside I can think of with this lens is that when shooting in live view mode the autofocus can be a bit slow, but that's the case with most lenses. If you're looking for a lens that would be great for low light photography, portrait work, headshots, film, or street photography this is THE lens you need to get. If you are looking for something that would be great for landscape photography I suggest checking out Canon's similarly priced 24mm STM pancake lens, and if you're looking for a medium they also have a similarly priced 40mm STM pancake lens. Those two lenses will not have the same aperture range though. I can not stress enough how amazing this lens is, for both the beginner and the expert. If you're even mildly thinking about getting it, DO IT, you will not be disappointed.
