The first thing that happened was the thread pan got separated from the filter housing. Easy enough to put back together. I was worried that it would fall apart again but hasn’t done so yet.At 5 stops of light you aren’t going to be doing much long exposure. But, It’s ok quality and helps knock down the light during bright day time shooting.Built in polarize is nice and I have not noticed any image problem.

The entire upper right part of any picture I've shot using this filter has a large black overcast on it. My blue sky would become black.Will be exchanging this for a fixed ND or go with GOBE or Polar Pro. Build quality is fine tho.

Update: Vendor sent me a replacement and it works as intended.Note: Don't forget to buy a 67mm lens cap if you don't have one and you want that feature.Original Review:Original came in pieces. :/ had to assemble. It’s all rattly :/Not sure if factory issue or shipping issue or intended.

Very easy to use and produces great quality images. Being able to adjust the exposure without removing and adding filters makes shooting so much quicker. Image quality is great.

This filter is amazing both the Nd & Polarizer. I mainly use this filter for video so I can keep my shutter Speed double the frame rate and my aperture low. Then I adjust my Nd to get the perfect exposure by using the histogram. Then I adjust the polarizer to get rid of glare, reflection & and make greens and blues pop. This is gonna be my go to Filter I own the Nd 2-5 stop and I love it, I also have the 10 stop. So I support this company, love their product. I highly recommend this filter for run and gun filmmakers.

I ordered two of these beauties, the 77mm and 82mm versions. The 77mm came with a nice hard plastic case whereas the 82mm did not. Was this on purpose or was it an oversight? I will have to make the inquiry and update this review afterwards. As for the filter quality - excellent. No X-over, no vignetting and I love the little handles to adjust the neutral density setting with ease. The circular polarizer is convenient easy to adjust.

so far, it's as i expected: no cross pattern, bulky enough for my careless hand. Will try to take some more pictures to see the image quality

So here is my take. I'm a little on the fence. First and foremost the good. The good is "I mean what the heck is cooler than a filter that changes density with a switch" omg right. So when it comes to light control ability the options are endless with this filter because it's dark to everything in the middle. super cool right. well the bad. the petty first you can't add or remove your lens hood using it buuuut you don't really need it. I mean it is an ND filter. the bad though. the filter spins freely on the lens once it is tightened. So it makes it very hard to adjust the switch with one hand. I guess that's a matter of what you are shooting. If it's on a tripod no problem but free hand is going to be a bit of a challenge. It fits snug and comes with a nice carrying disk style case. It feels like you are getting a quality filter material wise. It is heavy duty so I would trust my lens to a small fall to it if need be. I think it would be more than awesome for a long exposure I cant wait to try it.
