Bought specifically for my "light travel" camera so I wouldn't have to cart around and fiddle with multiple filters. It does its tasks well enough for its price point, but unfortunately has some downsides. The main one being a sharpness issue. I initially thought it was my lens or camera since I recently bought both and hadn't had a chance to really test them out yet. Then I decided to double check the pictures I took right *before* using this filter, and sure enough they're noticeably sharper. I was editing them and zoomed in quite a bit, but loss of image quality is still not something you want to see. Disappointing as other reviews had said there was no issue with this.
Another annoying thing is that if you set the cpl where you want it and then realize you want a bit of ND, moving the ND moves the cpl, so you have to readjust the cpl again. So you always kinda have to be aware to set the ND first.
I will still use this as 1) I'm overseas so it's a pain to return and 2) it still has it's uses and I can just go without for images where fine details are important.
