I loved the packaging, and the leather case it's perfect for storing. The filter itself seems sturdy and very high quality. However, for photography, you shouldn't use it to the extreme because the X appears around the 8th stop. But I'm very satisfied with the price-performance ratio.

I've been after this filter for a long time, and it only took one day to try it before I fell in love. It gives photos a beautiful cinematic look and adds more personality.

I was undecided between this one and another brand. But I don't regret anything else. The quality is very good, and the filter is solid air. So go for it!

It gives a brutal touch to the image and the construction is very good. 100% confidence

It's almost half the cost of a tiffen and works just as well. The build is really nice and I love the protective case. Took it to Vegas and took a bunch of shots of Freemont Street at night and they turned out perfect. Great buy

It is not a great value for money since filters from other more well-known brands cost the same (or a minimal difference), but you have a high quality filter in your hands. It does exactly what it was designed for without altering the colors in the slightest or creating chromatic aberrations. I use it in the video field where it helps a lot to diffuse the highlights giving the film the classic cinematic mood.

Very happy with this filter.

What a great filter. Use it on my Sony a7ii and rubber band it around the camera of my iPhone 13 pro.

Includes: case, and filter.
Tested with my nikon kit lens. (see my sample photos)
Each Top photo was taken on a tripod with a 10 second timer.
Each Bottom photo, the black mist pro filter was added.
This really does work as the name suggests!
Side by side you can see the colors and focus in the original without filter.
Then after applying the filter to the front of the lens,
you get a black mist. This calms down the color saturation and the sharpness.
Just a small amount.

The case.
Top twists off from the bottom and is made of a smoked plastic. The edges have a nice groove set.
Makes opening and closing easy. Branding on top.
The bottom is made of the same plastic and has the same grooves on the side.
The highlight is the 2 gray silicone pads that are glued down inside.
(These grooves will hold you filter) You could also use with smaller and larger filters.
That's a plus.

The filter.
Is slim line and made of aluminum.
Sides have really nice grooves, makes using the filter very smooth.
Great glass. Actually scratch resistant.
Took out my keys and hey no scratches. Thumbs up.
Waterproof.
Filter weighs only .5 ounces. Both the case and filter weight 2.7 ounces.

Overall very pleased with the filter.
Great quality.
I picked up the 52mm version.
Used 2 of my kit lens and no issues. Very smooth to install and remove from lens.
Easy to clean. Should last a very long time.

I prefer to shoot with filters verse going into software and spending extra time to get a similar effect.
Hope this was helpful.

Product sent by supplier was wrong, ordered a 77mm and I received a 82mm, I've had to purchase an additional Step Down ring to convert it as I can't return as it'll take too much time. Other than that, I've played around with the filter already and it's a lot of fun and I'm excited to use it in upcoming projects.
