Very useful in sunset and similar shots. Well made and at a fair price. If I lost it tomorrow, I'd order another one that evening.

I am experimenting with different filters, and absolutely love this one. I am very happy I chose this one.

Good neutral density filter for the price. Tends to have an extreme color cast when stacked with other hitech ND Filters. Fits Cokin P series holders. Noticed a few light scratches on mine after storing it in it's packaging, very light, they have not affected image quality. color cast is minor and can be corrected with a white balance correction as long as you shoot RAW

Some other sellers warn that this filter is only good for monochrome shots because of its strong color cast. Other HiTech filters seem to be OK.

I bought this for long exposure city scapes. Photos have incredible color casts that cannot be easily removed with post processing -- and why waste the time? The N in ND stands for neutral, something that HiTech seems to have overlooked.

Neutral Density (or ND) filters produce a gray neutral effect and are used to reduce light entering the camera, enabling control over exposure and depth of field without affecting color or contrast. ND's are made in different densities according to the level of light reduction from 1 stop to 4 stops of light and are made from the highest quality 1.5mm optical resin.
Intro to Neutral Density
Neutral Density (ND) filters are the essential filters for digital photography and cinematography. ND filters reduce the amount of light entering the camera and allow the photographer to create the following effects:
Ethereal waterfalls and streams
Flat water effect in oceans and lakes
Streaky clouds
Motion blur in sports
Long exposures to remove people from public areas
Shallow depth of field using fast lenses wide-open
Adjusting aperture for cinematography
Standard ND
Standard ND filters are an excellent everyday ND filter for the developing amateur photographer. These filters are only available between one and four stops of light reduction. Because they are only available in lower densities, standard ND filters don't suffer from significant color cast and offer an excellent value for money.
Formatt-Hitech Resin
Formatt-Hitech's resin filters are ultra flat, have excellent contrast and are completely transparent to the visible light spectrum. Formatt-Hitech's resin has the highest scratch resistance of any non-glass optical material and it's resistant to most solvents, chemicals, aging and material fatigue. Because of the ruggedness, light weight and portability, resin filters are a great choice for photographers and HDSLR filmmakers. Resin filters are dyed using Formatt-Hitech's exclusive Absorbing Cell Technology process.
