    Difficult to remove, huh? Get some light oil on an earbud and run it around your filter rings. Then with a dry earbud lightly remove the oil leaving the faintest trace.

    It won't hurt you gear but will enable you to mount and remove filters or stepping rings easily.

  14. Hey! I urgently need a 82mm ND filter. I only need it for video at the moment, it's ok if it doesn't work as well for photography. Is this filter any good for video? My highest focal length is 70mm (on a 60D) so a bit more than that but around that mark. I own a Tokina 11-16, Sigma 17-50 OS, Tamron 24-70 VC, 2.8 aperture on all. Thanks!!

  15. In a perfect universe, I would use regular ND filters all the time! Variable NDs are better for documentary, run and gun shooters, where I'd have no choice but to use them. Nothing worse than digging through your filters during a crucial moment! You should copyright that filter snap-lock! Maybe a magnetic filter snap-lock! Snap and go, that'd be amazing.

  16. yes, it's not designed for landscape stills, really only useful for daylight video, period!

  17. I ordered the 2-8 stop Light Craft Fader ND and can tell you: it's USELESS! It might work ok throughout it's range on zoom lenses, but all the shots I want it for are wide landscape shots. And on any lens wider than probably 50mm (on a crop sensor) that big black "X" shows up across the entire shot when it's used at anything more than about 4 or 5 stops of darkness. If you want nice wide landscape shots, don't buy this - grab an ND filter, not an adjustable fader.

  18. I used to do it just 'snug', but had a $150 circular polarizer fall off and into a fast running river once. A snap-in locking mechanism for filters would be nice :)

  19. I feel ya, filters are horrible to take off. Something with metal on metal contact blah blah. Now, I just tighten it finger tight then back off a mil.

    ReplyDelete
  20. re: difficult to remove

    I know the feeling. I screwed my circular polarizer on to one of my lenses, just finger-snug tight, and for the life of me could NOT get it off. I had to use a sharp chisel pushing on the threads of the filter to force it loose. A minor scratch on the metal part of the CPL so no big deal. But yah... sometimes those filters feel like they're almost welded to what they're screwed in to!

  22. >>Remember that the image will be way softer anyway with the lens open at f1.4. true >>So it's not necessarily the fault of the ND filter. false, I tested at wide open aperture (which was f/4 with my lens) and at f/8 with and w/o the fader, and the fader shot was always softer.

  24. Im aware of this degrading quality and sharpness at the telephoto range but for video i usually keep it under 70mm. Is there any noticable issues in this range??? Lots of reviews are back and forth and it makes me think some are ordering knock offs. Since yours is not i would appreciate the reply. Ive already replaced the idea with seperate nd filters from hoya and b+w but still wonder if this thing is worth it do to the convenience and no def reviews saying its good or not.

    One reason and and reason only. WAGE cost. Wages in the USA vs Wages in China. The USA cannot compete.

  27. Very delay for the delivery and non professional..don't recommend to buy

  28. I love this filter ! It works so well for Canon 5D Mark II video - I couldn't believe the quality and it was worth every day I waited for it to arrive ! Thanks for the great video post !

    ReplyDelete
  29. Good video - and for the price, it's well worth the flexibility it can give even if it does soften a tad - which is what we all want any how, right ??!! Motleypixel, have you used the biGeye LCD viewfinder from Light Craft Workshop with the 5D?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ahhh...interesting...I just watch again and see what you mean. Well, it does soften in motion at 1920X1080 but as you suggest it may add a film-like quality. Great tool to have in your bag if you want to shoot shallow in lots of light.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for the quick reply. I also saw the photo crop on your blog and I can see how much it softens the still image. In the video above I was looking at the stubble on your beard and could see it loose a fair amount of detail. At first I thought this was a bad thing but sometimes the video on these DSLR's is almost to crisp and video like. Add a little softness to the image and and maybe it creates a more film like feel...

    ReplyDelete
  32. playback at 1920X1080 30fps looks really good...may be a little softer but barely noticeable to me anyway. Now I tested with still images and it's definitively a hug IQ hit...much softer than w/o the filter.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow the image looks way softer with the ND, are you happy with the softening or is it degrading the image? Would like to know as it's a little hard to tell with the youtube compression. Great work thanks for the comparison.

  34. Because you, like everybody else, want everything to be as cheap as possible. If you are willing to pay more for better quality you can do that 9 out of ten times as well.

    ReplyDelete
  35. because they have economies of scale (actually more and more very good skilled labor and capitol to pump out some great stuff these days).

  36. why does everything have to come from china !

    ReplyDelete
  37. For the utility if gives me to shoot wide-open outdoors or in really bright light, yes, as for the build quality...all is good wte that the markings are starting to rub off in just a few months of use. Plus the IQ hit on photographic stills is too much. I would NEVER use it for stills...for video at 1920X1080 it's fine. I did test and reviewed it further on my website.
