Very subtle effect
The filter makes a very high-quality impression in terms of processing. Delivered in a plastic box, as known from other filters. In addition, you get 3 cloths to clean the filter or the objective lens. The thread is well made and can be screwed onto the lens without any problems. The edge of the filter still has a little wavy pattern, so you can rotate it better, so you don't slip off so easily. The filter makes black areas in the image a bit lighter, so there's a slightly softer effect. However, the effect on the variant I have (1/4) is very subtle. If you take a picture on the tripod with and without a filter, you can easily see the effect. I have attached a test image to this review, where you can compare the effect with the normal image. The filter is also advertised for portrait photography. I tried that too, but got the same result, very subtle. I did not attach the portrait photo for data protection reasons. Otherwise the filter is very clear, so there is no color cast etc. in the picture. Aside from the slightly lightened black, the rest of the image is identical, which is fine so far. The filter also has an internal thread, so you can screw on another filter if you need it. Whether you need the filter or not is an application-specific decision. I personally think that the effect of the filter, at least the 1/4 filter, can be easily achieved in post-processing. Because if you take the price into account (at the time of writing this review €27.99 for a 67mm thread) it's worth considering. If you need it often then it can be a relief, but for sporadic photos I don't think so. Technically and qualitatively it is a good product. For me, the effect is clearly too weak, with other variants it is, I think, even more pronounced. In summary, I give the filter 4 stars. I can understand the price to some extent, since the glass certainly costs a lot and it is also very clear and without color casts. But for me the effect achieved is a bit weak in relation to the price. then it can be a relief, but for isolated photos, I don't think so. Technically and qualitatively it is a good product.
