Excellent Wide range ND filter for your camera gear portability
One of the greatest Variable ND filters for its price range.Of course, If you are looking for Zeiss grade accessories, pricewise it will cost you something 10x times more and when talking on such precise and high grade attachments for your lenses, Variable ND filters are not the options - you should have bunch of fixed ND filters, with finest and highest grade glass and coating.This one does same if not more as similar Variable ND filters for $50-70, Slim design, so if you stack it on top of standard protective UV filter, it doesn't generate vignet.Glass is fine and high grade - no significant distortion for most $700-$1200 lenses, which I think is not bad, comparable to lens distortion values itself. Again, if you are such picky for distortions and using Zeiss Otus or even Milvus Primes for over $3000, then you should afford getting fixed ND filters from same Zeiss :)If you have DSLR, your backpack is almost heavy enough, so instead of carrying bunch of fixed ND filters for regular outdoor shootings (and weather is coming up and more bright sunny days we'll have :) ), Variable ND filters are desirable lens attachments and for most of APS-C and Full Frame cameras with sensors common 24 MP sensors, this one is one of the optimal solution.BTW, after great medium range tripod from K&F Concept, this is another camera accessory I've got and I like both - great manufacturing quality, nite and clean, functions as it should be and excellent Price/Quality ratio....

Fantastic!
I love this 10 stop ND filter; as I’m learning long exposure photography before I used a variable filter and the results weren’t so good as variable filters have their limits.I used this to slow down the lake water and get nice texture (smooth out) in the clouds; truly amazing.This neweer filter is truly amazing quality and the results you get are even more amazing! Definitely worth every penny!

... variable ND filters and have found them to be
I use several gobe variable ND filters and have found them to be good quality, maintaining sharpeness and clarity on pro lenses. Not cheap, not expensive either. Have a good ethical element to their product aswell.

Great quality for the cost
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.

Amazing Product
I'm really impressed with the quality of the filters. I would say it's as good as Peter McKinnon Variable ND, but for a way better price! Highly recommend and you definitely won't regret buying it.

I love Gobe
I've bought their excellent fixed ND products in the past. This is my first variable ND from them. It's wonderful. No colour cast. Easy to use. Lovely.

What? 50 dollars for a 1 to 8 stop Variable ND fil
I hesitated to buy this at first because I've never been a fan of variable ND filters. Most cheap filters suffer from a strong color cast and poor image quality. But this filter is the opposite of that, I'm blown away.
