Good product at an affordable price. The tests carried out show a more than acceptable quality for the time being

I was looking for a rectangular filter holder for a long time and after a long search I found what I was looking for from this supplier. The holder comes with 7 adapter rings and can therefore be attached to different lens diameters. The adapter ring is screwed onto the lens thread and the holder is simply mounted on the ring .The mount holds securely and doesn't give me any concerns that it might not hold even with minimal play.

I ordered the filter because I wanted to try the universally acclaimed cinematic look. Photographically, this is a replica of the look that was once created on analogue film (i.e. carrier layer and emulsion). With today's digital cameras, this is achieved by using a diffuser that burns out the lights a little. This also softens fine structures a little.
The Kentfaith filter easily screws into the lens filter thread. The filter glass, which looks very clear at first glance, develops its effect particularly in bright lights. The edges are softer and the light shines more clearly into the otherwise darker areas. The overall picture is a little softer and more comfortable. A good look is achieved, especially when recording videos. The photos of the lamp are once with and once without a filter.
Conclusion: Great look when recording videos. Here you really think you've used a real film. I have now also ordered the filter for my other lenses with different diameters. I like the effect on videos. But I prefer my photos to be crisp and sharp.

You can see the result nd64 and gnd8 soft process in the pictures...
The whole system is simply great

The holder can be easily placed in the ring. The filters are firmly attached. No vignetting at 16mm. The accompanying photo was taken with 1 and 2 filters. Much better than the plastic versions.

Fast delivery, high-quality packaging of the glass in a case. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test filters yet, but I've already bought several. Was very satisfied with all filters. Price-performance top.

Neutral density filters open up a world of options and possibilities in photography, their function is to reduce the intensity of light that reaches the sensor, ie it is used when there is too much light. The most common situations where it is used are as follows: When you want a longer exposure time to get the silky effect on the water. When you want to use a larger aperture And when you have a very exposed image, for example in a landscape photo with a heavily exposed sky, or to take a photo of a lightbulb is often used. As you can see in the photos, I made against a light bulb and against colored LEDs. Mainly I bought it to get the silk effect on the water or the sky because the movement looks very smooth as if fading. The filter is ND1000, so it removes 10 stops of light, allowing you to take photos with 30 second exposures or more in broad daylight. The filter is made of glass, so the quality is very good, unlike those made of resin. Thanks to this, there are no dominant lights or chromatic aberrations. Very happy with the purchase.

The effect, while subtle on its own, looks very nice and balanced. In comparison, without a filter. Long exposures of nocturnal scenes (city / architecture) or Christmas markets, bridges, rows of lights, etc. I imagine very well with it.
The shine is also nice and even and looks natural. I like it.
First impression, therefore, absolutely positive.
For the called 37 euros, that's a snap.
For the hobby area, if you use it in photography from time to time, a no-brainer, imho.
I don't shoot videos, that would certainly be worth a separate test to see what the cinematic community thinks about it.
