This filter has been my faithful companion on every photo tour for two years. The processing is absolutely great and together with the really stable storage box an absolute must-have!

Works really great. From dark to light. The wheel doesn't spin, so there's no "x" like with some other manufacturers.

Good impression, very nice with the smooth transitions, instead of many individual ones, you have them all in one. So far only tried with white cloud cover, worked well.

Wow! What can I say. From the packaging to the filter, everything is is such nice quality. I have it on my Sony and I didn’t see any vignetting, or odd fading. I am really impressed.

Outstanding product! Better processing quality than my Tiffen and no bad color cast.

Great filter, I couldn't notice the infamous blackouts in the corners even at maximum blackout.

I use this filter for video to get the right shutter speed regardless of the aperture. A variable ND filter is of course perfect for this. I can't see any loss of sharpness or similar, but as expected there is a slight, hardly noticeable color cast, which you can easily correct - if you want - on the camera.

Yesterday I got the filter and today I took the camera, the filter, and tested it. My first contact with the ND 1000 filter was satisfactory. The number of light reduction step is exact 10 In short, considering the price you have, I give you a high pass and I think the purchase is good and would repeat. One of the things I was worried about was having issues with focus, framing, or light metering. I had no problems and all photos were taken automatically and even adjusted a little with the focus manually. Focusing isn't as precise as light is missing, the image has less contrast, and a bit more manual focusing is required. When the sun is hidden, the focus does is no longer possible even if there is clarity. I am attaching photos, just note the photos I took with my Olympus OM in auto, both exposure and focus. The last two photos are the same without and with filter, you can see that with filter there is a 10 step decrease in exposure (from EV-14 to EV-4) - I added some photos taken the next day , I took advantage of this in the sun

Hello, Having fallen in love with the ND1000 effect on landscape photos, I decided to buy one. reminder: take a photo with an aperture priority (AV mode) and a certain diaphragm opening and recover the opening time (on my photo: 1/4 of a second = 250ms). Put the lens in manual focus and place the ND1000 filter avoiding changing the focus. Multiply the previous opening time by 1000. In my example 0.250s x1000 = 250s (4min10) Put the reflex in manual exposure mode then in BULB mode in order to remote control the opening time. (in my case, I use my smartphone which has an infrared port). We note after 4m10s that the photo (with filter) is identical in color and luminosity to that taken in 1/4 of a second without filter. This filter is therefore well calibrated. Important: the use of a tripod is strongly recommended to avoid any blurring of movement. In conclusion, I recommend this product and I can't wait to be able to take pictures of landscapes with this filter. Have a good day.

Exceptional quality of this 82mm and 1000 filter. Excellent material finish, perfect fit in the thread and exceptional results. Image taken at 7am. Comparison between shooting without filter and shooting with filter. I used a time of 15 seconds to achieve the water silk effect”. ideal for photos at the sea and streams for the so-called "silk effect" This is a neutral density filter with really important construction characteristics. Advantages: Quality of the glass; 82 mm perfect graft; Excellent performance;
