Decent variable ND
Bottom line - would recommend if on a budget
This variable ND filter, as advertised, is only 1-5 stops. As such, I have found it to work well in lower light when photographing waterfalls and streams in very cloudy situations or under a forest canopy - where a 6-10 stop might be too much.
The few outings I have had a chance to use this Ihave been pleased with the results.
I did not noticr any black x across the frame as I have with other inexpensive filters, and this allowed me to take some good photos. In lower light, I was able to achieve the silky smooth water look I was going for without having to do a 30+ second exposure (or high iso) that my 6-10 stop filter required in the same situation.
The build quality, lens coating, and performance is good for an entry level filter, but there is a noticeable difference between this and even the K&F nano-x filter I am also using (but that is also 2x the price).
For those on a budget looking for a lower powered variable ND filter, I would highly recommend.
