I’d like to give it 5 stars, but I haven’t actually seen results yet. But for quality of build, and for the price point, 5 stars. The filter did exactly what I needed it to do in camera. I’m shooting 4K footage for my wife’s new web thingy. I come from over 20 years in the motion picture business, in particular film production. So I know crap when I see it. But I will hold off that last star for post. Granted, it’s for the web and it is a very cost effective filter. So there you go. My 2 cents.

Very nice filter. Seems to be no difference in image quality. I attached an image I got with the filter attached. It is fitted over a hoya UV filter as well.The lens rotates smoothly and has marks so you know with you are at the min or max.It’s nice to have one on your lens for outdoor shoots so you don’t have to keep swapping out different filters with lighting changes.

Its nice to be able to adjust the "shades" for my camera so i can use the appropriate shutter speeds on bright out door light, so my videos get that cinematic look!Dont try to use on max, you'll get undesirable results.

Haven’t used it much yet. However I haven’t seen any of the issues that others talked about with lines in the photos when you use this filter.

This filter seems to be nice for the price. I took a few pictures of local creeks with rapids. Well I was glad to see that the resulting pictures looked almost as sharp as the ones taken without the filter, but I got very frustrated with the color shift. What I got were purplish-reddish pictures - super unnatural colors. I tried to fix the colors with photo processing software, but it was tedious and difficult because certain elements in the picture while having quite different hues and colors in reality ended up being the same color in the picture, and there was no easy way to separate them. So I decided that the money I saved on this filter I had to pay with the time I spent fixing the colors and it was not worth that. In the end I returned the filter. I attached unprocessed image. You can see how bad the color is, and there is virtually no way to separate gray stones brownish bottom of the stream, light-orange last year leaves and the dark greenish tree trunk. Changing tint and HSL settings helps, but the colors are still so much off. Oddly, the green is the only color distinct and close to the truth.P.S. also at max setting the filter produces x-shaped darkened areas in the picture. So do not expect to use at max setting.

This filter is excellent to capture long exposure photos! I like to use it to capture waterfall shots, even mid day! The variable element is perfect to be able to adjust on the fly without having to switch out filters! I’m excited to continue using it!
