Great review, really liked the light reduction comparison images.
Very honest review well said. Thanks
Thank you.
You are the only person discovered the ND stop range is non-linear. No one other youtubers mentioned it, most likely they didn't realised it. Thank you for the great review.
Btw, what VND filter would you recommend for same price range? Thanks.
You're welcome I'm glad you liked the review! Honestly I can't recommend another VND as I haven't tried any others, but good luck on your search! If you wanted to give square filters a go, K&F concept do them and they seem to be excellent quality. I did a review of their 10 stop (video on my channel) if you want to check it out! I'd personally opt for regular ND filters but it's just my preference :)
That's unsurprising with many of the YT posters. We also have those that complain when you rotate it beyond the marked range and get the dreaded cross!!!
Hi, does this filter has thread to mount with cpl filter on the other side?
The way these work is you have two polarizers - when they're crossed at 90 degrees you have the maximum degree of darkening. So I wouldn't expect a linear scale. i suppose if they'd done it correctly they'd have put a calibrated scale on the rings that correspond to stops. I have one of these (a MUCH cheaper brand, mind you) and I've played with it a little. At lower settings, you can just use the camera's meter (set the camera to aperature priority and adjust the filter to get the shutter speed you want). When it gets really dark the metering fails - I find at this point I have to switch everything to manual (including the focusing) and then take several shots, adjusting the shutter speed until I get one exposed correctly. More or less the same procedure as when shooting with a R72 infrared filter (except that, with this, you can "open it up" to do the initial focusing instead of having to remove the lens). Thinking of buying some K&F filters, many UA-camrs say they're very high quality (unusual for a Made-in-China brand), but a lot of them are way outside my price range (especially the magnetic ones).
Thanks for that, that's interesting! I've got a 10 stop square filter from K&F and it's significantly better than a cheap Gobe I have AND better than a really expensive B+W ring mount. I would highly recommend it.
চমৎকার, এই তথ্য গুলো আমাকে উপকৃত করেছে ।
No hard stop is a deal breaker.
