Good for experiments
Serious photographers know that if you cheap out, you often end up paying twice! That being said, I wanted to experiment with ND filters for long exposure daylight pictures. Problem: good brand filters cost hundreds of dollars, and have a fixed light stopping power. From that perspective, this deal was attractive!I used this filter on my Zeiss lenses (that happen to have 49 mm filter trend), and results were mixed. Yes, it allowed me to slow down shutter speed, but I’ve noticed that frame surface was uneven on some settings, with darker spots. This could be a tradeoff of having variable ND functionality, but regardless it will require additionnal post work on your behalf. Also, expect some minor color refraction.On positive side, it’s fun to use, and still creates interesting results. Packaging is nice, and it comes with a cleaning towlet and a hard caseIf you seek a toy, its perfect. For serious work - look at other options.
