Great for the money! I am sure there are way better filters. But I didn’t want to spend 200-300 dollar and I got good results from that! So yes I’d buy it again! And I probably will order a 200 filter available on the internet! Remember this one is in store, so if you need it you can get it right away!

I bought this filter to use at Niagara Falls and take long exposures of the falls during the day. The filter created an "X" on all the photos I took with it. I returned this filter. Buy a better filter.

This Variable ND filter works well, but with some caveats. All the markings were correct and it does work in reducing the stops as described. The only issue I ran into was there is a slight color cast, which is true of most of the more inexpensive Variable ND filters. By slight, I mean I've found it workable with a little color correction in post or if you adjust settings while shooting to compensate for it. Very easy workarounds. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this filter, especially at this price point.

Purchased this to start taking videos. Helps cut down on sun to keep the shutter speed down on a bright day. It creates a large X when going to the darkest setting but other than that, its great.

Pretty good for beginners. Very easy to use. I wish there were a stopper when turning to the lowest and highest densities, but instead it just turns infinitely. Not a huge problem.

This was purchased to provide an immeadiate need for a project. It provided a good amount of stop difference. My only concern was that it seemed to have a white balance shift at the furthest end. Something I will have to check. I still think it's very good for its pricepoint.

This nd filter is pretty great for the price in my opinion it makes me wonder how much better the more expensive nd filters could be. The only thing I wish it would do is have a stop on the minimum setting and maximum setting. The filter just turns and turns pass the minimum and maximum so you have to kind of guess when you’re on the minimum or max setting other than that to me is good enough.

i purchased the Platinum ND filter as open box. Surprised that it came with an adapter ring. The filter felt solidly built and worked out well. It's certainly not the higher end filter but for the open box price it's not bad. Good to beginner photographers.

Is it too bright outside? Will put this on your camera! You can shoot wide-open while using the fast shutter, speed or low shutter speed.

I've purchased this one before and it busted. It did protect my lens from damage. The only downfall is that it's nearly impossible to take off! I had to pay someone to take it off safely.

I bought this Peak design pouch to keep my polarizers, lens covers, etc... secure in an easy to access place. It’s made well, & I know they will be protected when in the pouch.
I was hoping for more storage space. Holds less then I would like. Kind of bulky to store inside of a camera bag if you want to keep it all together.
