This is a excellent variable ND filter! you can capture those deeper reds and colors at sunset / sunrise, capture buttery smooth video in direct sunlight, etc. basically this ND filter is great for everything!

For the price this is a great nd filter, The only downside is that you get a slight green colour cast but nothing you can’t fix in post production, otherwise great filter.

Great filter. Very high quality. Made of optical glass. Came in great packaging and fast shipping.Filter fits great and the rotation is very smooth. At the darkest setting it will create the classic X. But thats only because of the fact its polarized and that's what happens. Common sense.Over all very clear. Image's come out very sharp still. No noticeable difference. For the price is very well made. Highly recommend.The seller was very good also. They sent and email asking if i was satisfied or not and if I had any concerns to message them. Great seller. Will buy from again.

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....

I've found this hard to use so far. I wanted this to take me beyond the fixed ND8 filters and it does but it quickly gets to a point where everything is too dark to see through the viewfinder but I could not get more than a few seconds exposure time. Trying to find the true maximum without getting the X mark is too hard for me

This is a handy little feller for the point-and-shoot tourist. I used it to shoot the total solar eclipse in Marshall,Missouri with moderate success, in my opinion, as an amateur (you can judge from the attached photo). I'll definitely be using this more for sky & horizon shots.
