BEST ND FILTER

THE BEST! I loveeeee this filter. It makes it easier not having to constantly reset the camera settings for different environments. One thing I would do differently is just buy all the stops in one because I have both this filter and the 2-5 stop. Would 100% recommend

Worth the extra cost

This Variable ND filter to so high quality and I love it! Good at not changing color at high stops and the cover this filter comes with is so great to use. I leave this on my camera 95% of the time and never take it off.

Not perfect, but still good

Solid piece of equipment, though I wish it was smooth movement all the way through instead of "click" stops.

The hype is real

This thing is the real deal. Super clean image with no vignetting that I've seen yet, hard stops, awesome case, will never leave my bag going forward.

Excellent

Been a long time from (you know what outfit I?m talking about) customer, but recently gave Adorama a shot and ordered my Sony A7 V with 24-70mm 2.8 couldn?t be happier, order process and items were delivered sooner than estimate delivery date. Adorama has earned my business..

Good sharpness! no flaring!

Best vnd filter ever!!! Better than my old freewell, the freewell has good sharpness but it has flaring when you face to the sun, but the polar pro doesn?t that?s the reason why I spend double price to purchase it. When you use vnd filter you mostly use your camera outside in the day, that?s why the anti-flaring is so important. Strong recommended!

Bring on the Bokeh

I absolutely love being able to pop this on to any of my lenses with an adapter ring set. Finally I'm able to shoot with those dreamy shallow depth of field videos in the mid-day sun.

Disappointing

I am very disappointed considering the price. I specifically purchased this filter for my RF 24-70mm F2.8 lens (which is very sharp) so I wouldn?t have to shoot using high-speed sync. When I need 3 stops or more, I get vignetting and my images lose sharpness. I would not use this filter on a paid shoot.

This is VERY good BUT beware... vignetting on ultra wide lenses

This is most certainly top of the line and the perfect addition to anyone's kit but I have one issue with it.. maybe it could have been avoided but I experience pretty bad vignetting on ultra wide lenses. Most of my lens are 67mm filter thread and I step up using a ring so that I can use this 77mm PMVND but from 14-19 you will most definitely see it. At 20mm it will disappear. If you have mostly 67s in your kit, go for the biggest and step up to that. Overall, amazing quality though and I wouldn't leave home without it.

Good Quality ND's

So far I have really liked these ND filters. The dedicated stops make it easy to adjust. They come with a cover that goes on easy and protects the filter while still mounted to the lens. A few years ago I purchased another brand ND at around $120 and I noticed some extreme banding in the blues when using the it at higher stops, I do not notice this with the polar pro's! I would it if Polar Pro made these into one filter but that probably has something to do with the banding. Spend the extra money and get the Polar Pro's.

Peter McKinnon Filter

It's a cool filter. Gave it 4 stars cause the price is high just to have a youtubers name behind it. You can definitely buy one cheaper with the same quality.
