82mm Soft Graduated ND16 Lens Filter Ultra-Clear Optical Glass Multi-Coated

I've been taking photos as a hobby for several decades, first analogue, then of course almost exclusively digital for 15 years, i.e. I've seen and tried out a number of photo accessories over the years. With the filter I bought here, three things were decisive.
1. The quality, I've often spent money unnecessarily on useless photo accessories
2. The price, I don't see a reason to spend more money, which you can't see in the photos afterwards anyway
3. The durability and extension of a plug-in filter system

All points speak for this product. The filters are quickly attached, make a stable impression and are supplied in a practical case. The plug-in filter system is more than useful for the hobby photographer. In any case, I wouldn't want to be without it in my photo bag. I can't understand the fact that the filters are difficult to insert, which is often criticized here, on the contrary I even find this important because otherwise the filter could quickly fall through. After more than half a year and several sessions, I can only say about the durability of the filters so far nothing is scratched or even broken
Conclusion: Anyone who takes photographs knows that this hobby can sometimes cost a lot of money, and this is often the case with this hobby; "If you buy cheap, you buy twice". However, I don't have the impression with this product that the more expensive competitors, who also offer plug-in filter systems, do it so much better that the surcharge would be worth it here. That's why I can only recommend this system

Bought this to replace the cheap graduated filter set which provided terrible pictures. First thought as soon as you open the boxes is how well everything is presented and the build quality. All metal parts precisionally made. The graduated glass is of high quality. The pouch looks like leather and has an easy pull tab to gain access to the filter. The filter folder can rotate on the adapter. This is sprung loaded and is easy to attache and remove on the adapter. Anyone looking for good quality and value should consider this kit.

Still in the trial phase.
But makes a valuable and solid impression and there is the right adapter for every lens size.
Therefore, no rating for landscape photography, quality and durability

In order to do the product justice, I still have to use this filter in the "battle" apart from a few test shots. Test shots were fine. It would have been nice to have a mark on the movable ring that shows the upper, dark position, I'll just touch the upper, dark position with a tippex, just think that makes it easier for me to position it correctly. All in all good value for money and looks and feels good.

This filter is amazing highly recommended I’m so happy with my results

Couldn't name a reason to switch to other manufacturers.
Super quality and above all really cheap compared to other manufacturers

I was thinking a bit of a gadget and a good promo made me buy this kit. After several tests with very different luminosity circumstances (clear sky with white clouds then very blue sky with strong luminosity), I am very surprised by the quality and efficiency of this DNG filter. The brightness is well down without disturbing the colors. No burned area, the whole photo is easily usable in post processing. I highly recommend it.

Filter is great. Price - performance is great.

These filters are an absolute highlight, convincingly good quality, everything fits perfectly, everything is high-quality and securely packaged and safely protected for transport in beautiful cases. The first tests are promising, but I currently don't have a suitable motif to test the full strength of the filters, but I'm absolutely confident that excellent and convincing pictures can be taken with them.

I always wanted to have a high quality gradient filter. And I found him. The filter sits firmly in the holder, the filter holder can be easily mounted on the lens. Everything perfect. Very good quality. Everything feels high quality, all metal and the gradient filter, which is made of glass, is well made. Top
