    The filter produced a drastic color change that was not correctable in post processing. In addition the darkening was not uniform throughout the field of view. Will not use variable neutral density filters especially from this manufacturer in the future.

    Excellent product for the price

    The ability to adjust the number of f-stops is great but there definitely a lot of distortion at and near the f/8.6 stops range. But definitely worth the price if you're looking for a reasonable ND filter

    Ok

    It's OK for the first few stops then it's gets really ugly. Also from such a tall filter it begins vignette pretty bad on your 77mm. Dust and small particles will get in between the plates if not careful. I got a grain of sand in it and it ruined the whole thing.

    Horrible quality. When I got home the item was previously owned. It didn’t perform as it should at all and was very very disappointed.
