Great VND filter with one issue
This ND filter was great and I was able to get some amazing long exposure shots with it!
But, if you have an ultra wide angle (15mm, 16mm, etc), which most people use to take landscape photography, you start having this vignette around the 4 corners of your image. They are not a big problem if you’re simply taking quick shots since they can be cleaned up in post using Lightroom or Photoshop.
However, if you do long exposures trying to capture motion such as water surface of a lake or a waterfall, those vignette or stick around there and you basically won’t be able to get any usable data in the corners of your image. For many of my landscape shots I had to resort to cropping in to get rid of the vignettes which still resulted in an amazing shot, but defeats the purpose of me shooting at 15mm.
The filter also seems to distort the natural colours a bit but it wasn’t a huge deal since it didn’t mess up my colours that much.
I do love the little features like having stops at the min/max range of the filter so you don’t turn past what it is capable of.
