First class 6 stop screw on ND Filter
The Lee Elements circular screw on filters are very high-quality professional lens filters. Across the range you get excellent consistent filter effects across the frame. The build feels excellent; they screw onto (and more importantly off) my canon and sigma lenses without issue. In the box Lee include the filter, a hard padded plastic case and a Lee Panavision microfibre cleaning cloth. Having tested the entire series, I have also found they don’t impart significant colour casts; and have similar colour casts across the filters if you need to change them. I tested them out and about in the city; and in the studio with a stabilised LED light at 5700k.The Lee Little Stopper Circular filter is a 6 stop ND Filter. My example arrived spotless as you would expect in its hard padded carrying case. My filter was the 82mm version as several of my lenses are 82mm and I can use step up rings to convert the remainder. I took the little and big stop filters out on a warm night to compare shooting long exposure images of the Christmas wheel in Leicester city centre. I found it easy to screw the little stopper onto my Sigma 24-105 lens. Attaching the filter is particularly easy thanks to the deep knurling around the filter. Unlike the Lee Elements variable ND filters, you can thread another filter onto the front of the little stopper (like a circular polariser.) The little stopper is VERY even across the frame; I took sample shots in the studio and the colour temperature and brightness. The colour temperate is within 50kelvin across the image corner to corner; it being slightly around the centre. Though this is a chunky filter – about 7mm from lens to the end of the filter (i.e., excluding the threads) it doesn’t cause any vignetting due to the filter itself. (Adding a CP did cause some vignetting.)Its mid-November as I write the review and it’s been overcast so I haven’t been able to test sun induced flaring; there is a flare from the streetlight in the image; but this was in my filter free test photo too; I think it’s something to do with the street light cover. The view of the wheel is as taken from the camera with the lens zoomed out to 24mm. The exposure was 3 minutes. The lack of focus was me; I must have adjusted the focus as I added the filter and didn’t notice until I had the photo in lightroom. To process the image as uploaded the only thing I did with the image is click Auto in lightroom. There is no colour correction; the colours with the filter are excellent and closely match the shot without a filter; and you can see the colour in the image is even all over and the light from the wheel nicely fades out along the buildings. The flare from the streetlight is interesting but in all my images from this shoot.Overall, I have been really blown away by all the elements filters and the little stopper is no exception. It is far more convenient to use that its 100mm x 100mm square alternative. It comes in a rugged hard case which will keep it safe in a pocket, or deep in a camera bag. It screws easily onto my lenses and with the lee app it’s easy to calculate exposure time. Unlike my older square version this one is all glass, which I believe helps no end with the accurate colour reproduction. That lack of significant colour casting when you use the filter means you won’t ned to spend so much time post processing - you can see why it’s worth spending this on a filter if you are taking a lot of photos.

Amazing sky views
I've never owned a telescope before but always wanted one that would allow me to see the rings around Saturn. I was blown away when I finally saw them with this. I would recommend a 2X Barlow lens and moon shading lens as the moon is very bright, like staring into a flashlight with one eye. Love it!

Well made Filter
I have been using the HP-1008 on my 2002 Nissan Pathfinder for several years along with Castrol Edge Synthetic 5W-30. No leaks in this small but seemingly well constructed oil filter. The last two filters were made in Mexico and then Korea respectively, but I have experienced no issues. I still change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles, as it seems like a pretty cheap preventative maintenance step, especially since the oil filter for this Pathfinder is so small.

Very pleased!
The filters are excellent. The rings are metal and thread on very easily and smoothly. The carrying case is well designed and does not take up a lot of room.

Great quality ND1000 filter and adapters from a gr
The Neewer Square ND1000 filter is a great way to allow you to use slower shutter speeds or shallower depth of field. It’s very effective at what it’s intended for, has 8 adapter rings to fit many size lenses and it’s from Neewer. Everything I get from Neewer is high quality and performs great.The good things:This is a quality product by a company that continues to product great quality stuff and this is no exception. The filter is 30 layers and will live up to your expectations of performance, if you know what you’re getting. It’s a great quality lens that will last if taken care of it. The adapters are great, so I can use it on multiple lenses and even ones I get in the future. The lens adapter attaches to my camera for a solid hold. The holder pouches are great quality and hold it all together nicely.The biggest concern for me is that you can’t attach the filter to the adapters, it does have some kind of rubber on the slide to keep it locked in and that works good for now, but I wonder how that will hold up after time. For now, I’ll assume it’s been tested to last, but it would be nice if you could slide something over or in the way, in case it starts to fail.Overall, this is a fantastic very purpose built filter, that excels in its small field of expertise, with quality, versatility, and transportability, in a way that Neewer has with everything else I’ve ever gotten from them, top notch.
