Good construction of all the brands I have this is the best by far is a little more expensive than those I have but worth it. No blades come out and it is balanced throughout the range, gives a certain warm tone very grateful. It looks good construction.

I was looking for a filter to get the "silk effect" in my water photography and, for the price of this one, I don't think I can find anything better.
The product comes in a very elegant cardboard box that gives a sense of quality to the product. Inside we find the filter, the size we ordered, along with a filter holder case with protection to transport it safely.
In terms of material quality, the filter is made of matte aluminum with a solid and professional finish. In addition, the crystals appear to be very resistant, although it is better not to hit them.
It is worth noting that for what it is worth, this filter blocks practically 5 stops (it does not reach 5, it stays at 4 and 2/3 approx. in the 62mm filter that I bought). In addition, it has stops at the minimum and maximum values. It also has indicators on the side to know the steps we are blocking.
On the other hand, I would say that its greatest virtue is that it does not produce the typical cross or X-shaped mark when varying the exposure and so on. It should also be noted that the dominant that gets is very smooth, and perfectly adjustable in postproduction, for this type of filters, so we are facing a product with a very good value for money, both for video and photography.
PS: Looking at other reviews, I must say that I agree with most of them, but at least my product arrived completely new and brand new. It was unopened and unused.
PS 2: I add a photo taken with the filter in full light (Around 18pm in June) and with a Smartphone [0.5sec] to give a very subtle silk touch to the water. I will add more photos taken with the good camera when I have more time.

This ND filter allows, among other things, to reduce the shutter speed for video, which will give your sequences a smooth movement.
For stills, it allows you to have more leeway, especially by using a longer exposure time (with a motion blur effect if necessary).
The real attenuation rate is the one announced on the box, so the filter is really neutral.
The attenuation is the same everywhere, so there is no vignetting effect that can be found on cheaper filters, nor a modification of the colors without playing on the white balance.
This is an excellent value between cheaper but often disappointing filters and non-variable filters that are less easy to use.
