Great filter for landscape and outdoors
It's a pretty good filter, though it's my first time using a "graduated" variety. Right before buying this filter, I'd bought (in error) another one ("Variable ND"), but it wasn't what I needed, since it affected the ENTIRE image, vs. just a part of it.
I've been looking for something to address my problem: blown-out skies, particularly when the lower half/landscapes expose OK.
I heard the term "Neutral Density CG/Graduated" and decided to give it a try.
The Sunpack filter has only one half that's darkened, so it affects only that half of the image and the other remains intact.
The glass is very clear and doesn't seem to affect image quality at all. It doesn't sport any demarcations on its side, but that's not that important, given that it's easy to see what you're doing.
So, in my opinion the Sunpack is very useful for what I want.
The other three minor reason why I knocked off a star were:
1. It's a bit thick for my taste.
2. It's not what I would call 100% "gray", as it seems it adds a tad of bluish hue to the otherwise white background (like snow).
3. It's also doesn't have an entirely "smooth" transition but instead more hard "transition line" between two halves of the glass.
But those are MY observations and you may think differently.
Considering its great price, the fact that it IS solid construction, made in Japan (and not in China) and features smooth rotation, I highly recommend it to anyone, who sees its usefulness in his/her line of work.
I should also add that the delivery was lightning fast and Adorama deserves a BIG PLUS for that!

Graduated ND Lens Filter
Lens works perfectly and is exactly as advertised.
I have shopped for years at Adorama and always had a good experience with their service and products.
I always look first at Adorama for my photo needs.

A must have for photos in the sun
This is a must have for photographing in the outdoors with harsh sunlight or for great sunset photos. The only con is that it is a little hard to remove because the mounting ring is thin. Not really a big deal.
