Great - but cover your viewfinder!
I just received this (52mm, for a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 on a D600) and it looks solid.
Initially, I had some trouble with the exposure. In a setting where aperture priority gave me 1/100s (w/o filter), I expected to get 10s shutter speed with the ND1000. However, the camera came up with ~1/5s - and the photo was almost black. It took me a while to figure out that the metering was affected by light coming in from the viewfinder. Once I covered that, the images were well-exposed (and I got the 10s, as expected).
I hope this saves others some time and worries (one hour in my case, plus the fear of having wasted $28 and not being able to understand my camera...)
