Neutral Density 55mm ND8 Glass Filter - Professional Grade Multi-Coated Slim Filter for Camera Lenses with Cleaning Cloth by ShutterPoint Dämmerung

I was looking for my first ND filter to experiment with certain creative looks I am after. I have been into photography for many years but I didn't really care much for the type of photos when a filter like this is usefulI purchased several filters from Amazon with the goal to pick one and return the others. I went with B+W and Hoya (which are quite pricey), and Neewer, which was the cheapest, in addition to this one. I never heard of ShutterPoint or Neewer brands, so I wanted to give them a try alongside the known B+W and Hoya brands.I did a few photo tests, and even tried spraying filters with water to see how they can repel it. Coating quality seems to be similar for all filters I tested, except Neewer which doesn't seem to be coated, and ShutterPoint was the only one coated on both sides. Color uniformity, vignetting, and color casting was barely noticeable with Hoya, B+W, and ShutterPoint. Neewer again was the loser of the pack with a bad color cast and loss of sharpness.My conclusion is that for the money, ShutterPoint was a clear winner. This filter is made well and easy to screw on and off. A PDF usage tips guide is a nice add-on too. Definitely recommend.

Very thin so it will fit between my macro Sony lens and and it`s hood just what I wanted. Thanks for a great product.

Good ND filter. Threads on fine. Color is a little off from more expensive ND 8 filters i own but for the price it's pretty good. Thin filter works fine even with my ultra wide lenses.

I purchased this filter to reduce the propeller distortion when filming flying videos. It worked well. You can check out the video on my YouTube channel. Look for AusTexAviatir.

Performs as expected

I'm giving it 4 stars as a result of having gotten 65% off.... its not a B+W... but there are many worse ND filters out there
