Best variable ND on the market!
No X-pattern, virtually no color cast, and a 1-5 stop range (vs. the more common 2-5) make the Kentfaith True Color ND Vario the best variable ND on the market for most situations. Technically, a little extra warmth can be noticed in head-to-head comparisons, but it's almost impossible to tell otherwise and close enough to be matched in post with no ill effects on compressed photos or video.
I wish the IR filtering was implemented in True Color, but maybe the technology used here doesn't allow for that. Because IR is not filtered, certain lighting conditions can be undesirable or even unusable, especially when more visible light is cut off. Assuming (possibly erroneously) that one flaw is a necessary compromise for the True Color's unmatched color accuracy, I feel the True Color ND-Vario is as perfect as a VND can get, and first VND that doesn't feel like a compromise between accuracy and practicality.
Here's hoping for a true color version of their 5-9 stop next!
