I'm a hobbyist photographer and have recently been looking for ways to push my camera and images even further. This lens filter looked like something new and exciting to try, and I was beyond happy to get the chance to give this a try.

My first impression was that the packaging was quite nice. The case that houses the filter is well-designed and holds it snugly. The filter itself feels luxurious - it has a nice weight to it, and the materials look and feel expensive. The threads look great and I had no problems at all fastening it to my lens.

As far as using the filter goes, I have a bit of practicing to do. It has been quite an overcast and rainy season here, so I haven't really had much of a chance to use it on bright fiery sunsets yet. What I have gotten to use it for has been very fun for me, although I still have some learning to do about when it is bright and reddish enough out to warrant using it.

All in all, it is incredibly fun to play with when taking images and it feels and looks great. I'm very happy to have this in my camera bag, and I look forward to experimenting more with it in the future!
