Bought one the next day because I needed a second one. Works really well ✌️
Looked pretty good actually.
Slight green tint, otherwise it looks decent. I wish my ND filter was HD though... :(
yeah slight greenish, but pretty easy to correct
I'm surprised they don't start advertising 4k or 8k VND's yet and still just say HD 🤔 lol but it looked pretty decent nice 👏
Small color cast but fixable imho...no big deal
The main issue I have had with the cheaper variable ND filters is that with TELEPHOTO lenses (especially zooms/i.e. non-primes) is the image becomes so soft/degraded at the longer end of the telephoto zoom, that it isn’t useable…Your example shots look good, useable, and so I suspect you’re on a prime lens or a WIDE ANGLE zoom, but certainly not at the long end of a TELEPHOTO zoom, so you should be okay…To solve the issue with a telephoto lens I just stick to straight NDs (mostly an ND8)…but I break the 180-degree shutter rule a lot😂
I was using a 28-70mm f2.8. looks the same at 70mm as 28 in my testing. still this isn't perfect but it works
@@nigelbarrostoo Hi Thank you for the message! I don’t think I’ve tested that lens (is it the Tamron one everybody loves?) My problems came with focal lengths of approximately 150-300 (plus the built-in lens on the Panasonic FZ1000, but the sensor size is 1” so I haven’t figured out the ACTUAL focal length as of yet) so it might be when a LONG tele is extended and the light path is a little more straight vs. angled (like a wider angle/focal length lens would be) where I see the problem. It’s funny, It was the FZ1000 that made me try the variable ND in the first place, as it MUST have one outdoors due to the f/8 max aperture (to follow the 180-degree shutter rule) but it was the worst possible scenario for the ND. I haven’t found a BUDGET VND that works for it yet, but maybe this one you’re reviewing would work… Thank you!
Hi Nigel, I want to make you a question: usually use VND filter. I set set manual settings (M mode), but outdoors I use Auto ISO (because I shoot in un-controlled situations). Do you use Auto ISO when you shoot outdoors? Cheers!
The fact that the fence behind you is completely different colours over your left and right shoulders really threw me off when you put up the "With VND/Without VND" splitscreen! Looks fine though.
yeah that is kinda off putting, overall again, good not perfect
Is the K&F Nano X VND Filter still better than this?
