Pros

The heliopan variable neutral density filter has a range of nd2 to nd400 which is between 7 and 8 stops of light. It is really neat that you can just twist the filter to change the amount of light it lets in (as opposed to stacking multiple filters) t...  Read More

It seems to be free of color cast and works smoothly. Only downsides are that the aarow that points to the darkness of the filter can spin beyond the markings.

I can hardly complain about this filter considering how much it cost. It's convenient to only have to carry one nd filter to cover all of my needs. none, considering the price. If those two things dont bother you, then it is for sure worth the purchas...  Read More



Cons

If you shoot mov or mp4 compressed video files you will be stuck with the blue tinge.

At nd400 there is a noticeable cross in the center of the frame. Nd filters were clearly opened (covered in dust and grime). The construction is good, and fader works very well, but ultimately image quality is very poor. For photography stick to a nd....  Read More

Quality


Very good tool for cutting down light to maintain wider apertures without loss of image quality, particularly in extreme contra...  Read More


I have done some quick test shots at its min max and middle settings and i haven't seen any noticeable iq loss.


And one of the three fader nd lenses slid down out of the housing.


My only two complaints are that the notches on the filter that show you the increments will almost never be facing where you ca...  Read More

Price


I was surprised how well this worked for the price.


Great option for a cheap nd filter.


These filters are cheap and relatively effective.


For the price things like that are expected.

Shipping


Arrived way faster than i thought as i am in canada.

Competitiveness


I use the filter as my 'moon filter' when i do astrophotography but it's a great all-around filter that rivals my cpl.


I get rice colors - and i am able to use photshope to better fix the shot.


My biggest gripe is that it definitely softens the image, which is why i ultimately traded up to the tiffen version which is sh...  Read More

    Dont pay too much for the highpriced filters


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This one does the job for much less


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The price is extremely low but it does the job with no noticeable image degradation see my series of long exposure photos taken at a small waterfall


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even with a 30 second exposure and the nd filter at its maximum i did not see any problems with the image


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The filter came in a flimsy plastic case that was scuffed and there was a large greasy thumbprint on the filter itself


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Note that when the filter is attached your lens hood and lens cap will no longer fit
