I definitely have to agree, I watch a lot of reviews, and this is on a level on its own. I’ve learned, understood the differences between products, & feel confident in the validity of the review with upfront transparency concerning previous or ongoing partnership with the brand. Excellent work 10/10

Thank you for the detailed explanation of these filters and ND filters in general. I use Olympus and Panasonic, so I will look at the 77mm filter with step up rings, as 77mm is the largest diameter on their native lenses. Your part of setting white balance was also most helpful. One of the standard edition of the lens is now ordered.
