Right out of the box I noticed a sort of wavy texture to the glass on this filter. I knew I'd have some problems with it after seeing that, but I went ahead and tried it. Sure enough with my camera pointed towards the sky, at f/11 with a 3" shutter speed, there was noticeable distortion. It's not bad enough as to be unusable but I think at 25$ it could be better. I will upload a picture in the future.

I've had this ND filter for almost month and have used it for long exposure water shots, sunrises and more. Shooting a sunrise with a variable ND filter can be a challenge for the filter - vignetting, moire - any flaws.This filter performs like a champ. No distortion, moire, etc. Can shoot sunrises to your heart's content, even after the sun is over the horizon, without blowing out the photo - and still having a great looking photo.I included a photo - jpg right from the camera. It does get a little tough to turn in really cold weather.Great filter, always in my bag. Free sample provided for honest review.

Great for the Canon EOS 60D 5D Mark III! It easily removes any type of glare and brings too light to a dark picture. It's a great item. I highly recommend.

As mentioned in other reviews, it's great for long exposures, when I don't want to have so much light appearing in the camera. It fastens smoothly onto my lens and the it's hand rotatable, so I can change the level of light. This is great for some of the beach photography that I do. I have no complaints with this filter, I highly recommend it.

I bought and used this lens filter on my Canon 5D, and it works just as described! The color definitely stayed the same in my film, which was a concern of mine, so I'm happy to see that it wasn't affected. This lens filter is well made and sturdy. It certainly fit well on my camera with no problem. I'm happy that I get to adjust the levels of darkness with ease. Highly recommend!

I thought i'd try the budget option instead of the £100+ ones. I used this on a 10-22 lens & as the furthest angles there is a bit of darkness but its a case of zooming in a bit.Some points from my testing:-The screw thread it rather fiddly to put on but can deal with that.-The lens cover won't go on top-Worked brilliantly for very bright sunshine & sunsets (unedited pic attached)

The range is a bit skewed. Its barely on during the first of the turning range, then it gets very dark fast. Would have been better if it gradually darked over a wider range.
