Lovely and soft like how small it is easy for my grandson who is 5 havent used it as it is for his christmas box as he loves taken photos

Versatile and comfortable, a good item for studio photography.

The first photo was taken straight out of the box at ISO 3200, f/8.0, 1/60 second with flash. The lens produces clear, sharp RAW images (Nikon NEF) and shows little distortion. The second photo was taken through a layer of Plexiglas. The lens is good for portrait, landscape and macro. At 35mm f/2.0, it's fast enough and wide enough for underwater and astrophotography. When you capture RAW images, Adobe Lightroom doesn't recognize the lens, but it does profile it if you enter the information manually. This is a great addition to any photographer's kit. Being inexpensive is an added bonus.

Excellent tripod for my home studio.

I've always believed that photo filters and lenses are expensive, although I know good glass and coatings don't come cheap. But this filter... the results are magical. Gold and blue hour photos take on soft mystical qualities, fairy lights turn into will-o'-the-wisps rather than bokeh, blemishes are smoothed out somewhat, and it does a better job than my old soft-focus filter, which tended to brighten shadows too much. It's THE filter I reach for when trying to create a fantasy atmosphere and can even make a photo of a garden gnome seem plausible.

I love the way this has the magnetic ring mount, although I'm saddened that most of my other filters are screw-in and therefore can't be easily swapped out with it. Maybe one day I can get more; my filter stack was mostly built in the early 2000s and could use a few upgrades. This one is worth every penny of its list price for the results.

I bought this tripod to replace my top-quality Manfrotto, which has been a trusty companion for over 20 years of professional photography.

I needed a smaller, but still solid tripod to fit in the back box of my Honda 50, along with a large medium format camera, for local photo-trips. I measured the back box interior and noted the dimensions information that was given with the tripod, and it fits perfectly (see photo).

I was a bit dubious about the ball head holding my very heavy camera, so I replaced it with the heavy-duty pan and tilt head from the Manfrotto and it works perfectly. I've put the ball head from this one on the Manfrotto to hold a DSLR that I use for digitizing negs.

No, it's not as sold and robust as the Manfrotto (which cost 3 times as much), and that's to be expected. But it looks like it will do the job, and saves me from putting a really heavy tripod on my back when I go out on the bike!

Very good a little bulky a little heavy not really made for hiking.
