massive 160gr filter!
The filter is huge.
7.4mm thick and 159gr weight, designed probably more for outdoor use.
Multi coated surface (28 layers), filter made of glass, scratch resistant, waterproof,....
You get a shock when you hold it in your hand for the first time.
There is a scale in the front that shows the approximate values, all of this is easy to grip on the frame itself or adjustable with the small handle that is screwed on.
The filter rotates completely, i.e. at the end / ND1000 comes a tiny step before it goes up again. Because there is no stopper, you have to be quite precise to get the highest ND value.
Even though it is of course the common design of these filters, I don't find this particularly practical or easy to adjust. You really have to pay attention, the scale doesn't really help there because the highest effect comes after the ""1000ND"" entry. And a little bit of rotation further, the ND decreases again.
Optically everything is ok, I could not notice any major / disturbing color changes - at least nothing that one would not have expected with this type of filter.
With and without the filter, the image remains sharp.
The whole thing comes in a plastic bag, where the filter sits loosely inside, without any further cover - again, I'm rather the friend of the closable plastic covers, but ok.
For 80 euros you get a good tool at hand.
For me, not the optimum, but that is complaining at a high level.
