Stunning results, worth the cost
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.
