Pros & Cons
Pros
This 1/4 white pro-mist is as good as the ones from the best brands out there. This price makes good diffusion available for much cheaper than the big name brands. Very satisfied with getting it.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the filter itself is very good.
This neewer 1/4 soft white diffusion lens is well made and works great to lightly soften a portrait shot.

Competitiveness

I attached screenshots of four unedited raw photos in an editing program so you can see the difference in highlights detail loss in red and shadow detail loss in blue plus their histograms

You can see the subtle matte effect not only in the filter bringing up the shadows on the wheelchair where there was detail loss without the filter but also in the dark parts of the trees getting a little washout
