Overall very good quality for the price!
Product: 58mm Variable ND2-ND32
Description: The rim of the filter is made out of what I'd assume is aluminum, coated matte black, (which has a nice weight to it, and has hard stops at ND2 & ND32). The rim itself is actually fairly nice. It's easy to put on, and easy to take off due to the wide ridged design around the base of the filter. The high index optical glass is indeed nano coated to protect against water/oils from fingerprints, rain, & etc. Which are easily removed without struggle in my testing with a clean micro fiber cloth (not included). The glass itself has a slight yellow tint to it (which you can see from the photo comparison), which can also easily be corrected through your cameras auto white balance, or lightroom. The filter also doesn't loose to much detail if adjusted properly which is nice as you will see from the photos, and their description in the next section.
Photos: The first four photos of the product were taken without any filters. Though the next two of the black & red mouse pad were to show detail comparisons. These two photos were taken about 1-2ft away, but are cropped to show detail. Which were slighty adjusted to be as equal as possible.
Without the filter: F4.0 1/15s. ISO 400
ND32: F4.0 1s ISO 400
The next 6 photos of the flowers next to the bird bath were taken without adjusting any settings to show the darkness of the filter (F5.6 1/320s ISO 100), in this order: No Filter, ND2 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & ND32 5th stop.
Overall: The produce works well, and is well made! I would highly recommend picking one of these up, along with a circular polarizer. Though only notable things I found with the product is that it has a slight yellow tint of the filter, the front thread size of the filter in bigger then 58mm, and the top of the filter very slightly wiggles. Otherwise it gets a solid A from me!
Extra: I used a 49mm-58mm step up ring for the filter to fit my Canon 50mm F/1.8
Camera/Settings: Shot on a Canon Rebel SL3, with custom white balance settings set to +/-0,+/-0 for raw color quality.
