Quality Build. Diffuses Naturally.
This ND filter has a nice build and feel to it. I especially like the adjustment grip - it makes adjusting super easy to do. It feels durable. The leathertte case is a nice tough.
It moves smoothly and gradually. The screw mount is solid and performs as expected.
The 1/4 Diffusion seems a bit heavy. It is a very pronounced effect. It's not bad by any means, but heavier that I expected. It gives everything a soft glow - almost like you were doing an Orton effect. You don't end up with tack sharp images (expected for this type of look). I probably wouldn't do portraits with this, but would enjoy it with landcapes or video work.
The color seemed a bit warm with an ever so slight green tint. For a $100 filter, it is completely acceptable. The edges have a slight vignette, but again, it is expected for a variable ND filter. There isn't an X pattern, which was a nice suprise.
Overall, this is a specialized tool. If you're looking for an ND filter with diffusion, this is a safe choice.
