I bought this filter somewhat out of curiosity after seeing some photos online, and it's really impressed me these past few days. What I love most is that you don't have to be an editing expert to get that "nostalgic" or vintage look straight from the camera. When you take it out of the case, you notice it has these little shimmering particles inside the glass, like trapped glitter, and that's what creates the magic when the light hits it.

I've gone out a couple of afternoons to take photos, and the difference is incredible. Streetlights and the sun's reflections on cars take on a beautiful golden hue, like an old film, but without the photo looking blurry or poorly taken. It's much more subtle than I expected; it doesn't make the photo orange or anything like that, it simply gives it a warm atmosphere that looks fantastic.

I've compared it to trying to do the same thing on a computer, and it's completely different. The optical effect of how the light disperses on the sensor is unique. Plus, it saves me editing time because the photo already has character. It feels sturdy in the hand, not like a piece of plastic, and it's easy to clean if you spill a drop. For me, it's been a great way to give my photos a different touch without any hassle.
