Great Quality at a Great Price
I needed a variable ND last minute that fit 67mm thread, and this was available for same day delivery. So I pulled the trigger. Normally, I buy high-quality filters like B+W, Breakthrough, Haida, or Heliopan. So I was apprehensive about this one, especially being a variable ND. But I was thoroughly surprised.
First, I LOVE the tab. It makes it so much easier and nicer to adjust the strength than trying to grip the edges of the ring. Second, I didn't notice any issues with color shift. Maybe if I shot side-by-side with the filter and without I would notice some, but it's nothing major. Even the best variable NDs have some color shift.
I didn't use it at its strongest setting so I'm not sure about the dreaded "X" pattern, but I always avoid the strong end with variable NDs.
I only wish it had hard stops at each end. I'm not sure why that isn't standard for every company.
Attached is a photo taken with the filter on an OM System OM-1 + Panasonic Leica 12-60/2.8-4. ISO 200, f/6.3, 15 second exposure.
