Oh my gosh, the putter is such a lifesaver. I've never been a fan of twisting the tiny, super-slim surface of any type of filter. ND filter, CPL filter, diffusion filters, they all lack putters! I'm certainly glad that K&F Concept decided to introduce this into their filters, including this one.

Onto the ND functionality itself, this prevents me from having to increase my shutter speed or aperture. It allows me to maintain a shallow depth of field on my subject even in broad daylight. And yes, it also works for landscape photography and other uses, but my main usage has been for taking video of people.

If you're familiar with the exposure triangle, you may recognize my situation. Reducing my aperture would remove my shallow depth of field, and increasing my shutter speed would make my subjects motion look weird, it would just look very off. There would be no motion blur, and as a result the image looks unnatural in our eyes. So, this ND filter was perfect for fulfilling that need.

Overall, I really do recommend this filter if you're looking at increasing the quality of your videos, and obviously this depends on what you're looking to use it for. If you know that you need an ND filter, don't go with the cheap glass. Go for something like this instead! It'll totally be worth it.
