Summary:
-
The simplest filter offered by this company doesn’t show off too much. It received a bit more that a half of the possible points, which makes it a mediocre filter. For Polish customers, the filter is much too expensive. We didn’t like the transmission ratings, which in the visible range are not much better than a regular optical glass without any coatings. We also noticed a fairly significant problem with flares, which appear while working in bright light.
