The ProOptic 77mm Variable ND filter works well for controlling light in bright outdoor conditions. The adjustable range from 2 to 8 stops is very convenient and easy to use by simply rotating the filter. It helps when shooting with wider apertures or slower shutter speeds. Image quality remains good, and the filter feels decent for the price. Overall, a good budget option for basic photography and video

Exactly what I expected. It works really well on my 77mm cinema lens.

I had an issue with condensation getting between the lens when I was doing some night photography on Mt. Rainier...know what "dew point" refers to. The filter was way out of warranty but they asked me to ship it to thenm and they returned it with cleaned. It probably helps not to be demanding of much but they really went out of their way.

got this and compared to the equivalent 77mm Tiffen variable ND filter and though the images are good through the pro optic they weren't as sharp as through the Tiffen- but you pay more for the Tiffen- but worth it to me- had no problem with my camera's auto focus with both the pro optic and tiffen on my Panasonic GX8- the Tiffen was actually the 3rd variable ND filter I tested- the first was the most expensive of all Cokin variable ND filter but ironically as the most expensive Cokin variable ND filter was unusable- even in manual focus it distorted the image and could not get a sharp image at all

The filter is variable all right. When I look through it and move it there are distortions noticeable in anything with a lined pattern. Apparently not very planar. I'll be returning it.

It's sharp enough, it feels sturdy and well built, however I get a brown streak across the center of the image with this filter. I suppose it's a manufacturing defect or perhaps just bad glass? Anyways I recommend a better quality ND filter...

I use the product on my camera lense to tone down the sky in the scene.

I use this to get the milky effect in water and it perfoms fantastically. as well as ND filters that cost 4-5 times as much

This filter had been previously ordered by me and came in a case that wouldn't close. The filter itself was fine - as is the replacement. The quality of the glass seems to be very good, and the price is more than fair.

I have found the Pro Optic 72mm Variable HD ND Filter, ND2 to ND400 to be a very good investment that has added to my ability to get those really good landscape and nature shots. The price was certainly right and the Pro Optic meets all my cuurent needs and expectations. The only negative comment is that upon receipt the besel ring and thus the outer lens were very loose. I tightened it but was somewhat disappointed at the lack of QA on the item.

This is an excellent filter to use to capture those scenes that you wpuld like to show motion or soften a cascading waterfall. It is extremely easy to use and you cannot beat the price. Singh-Ray's is about $400 compared to [$] for this.

Bought this to do some long exposures in daylight. Thought I'd take a chance on a lower priced unit but was disappointed in the results. Ok at lower levels of filtering but once you move past the mid point white starts heading to blue
