MRC coating on this is quite poor; got lots of flare and haze from reflections, which are especially problematic with a mist filter; you can't push the contrast up the way you usually would, as it ruins the mist effect. Look at the top right on my attached photo, at the top of the tree.
Additionally, the mist effect is different than other black mist filters I've used, and not in a good way. The suspended particles are a lot larger, even in the 1/4 filter, and are easily visible to the eye. In practice, this resulted in a less appealing bloom effect than the Hoya and Tiffen filters I've used. I suspect the larger particles are causing a lot more refraction, which is what's causing the haze.
For the price, they're not unusable, but I would recommend paying more for one from Tiffen or Hoya.
