Quick Review of Neewer ND1000 ND Filter

This filter was tested on a Nikon Z7II with the 24-70 F/4 S lens. You’ll see side by side comparisons of a photo with the filter attached to the lens, as well as a photo without for your review.  I have also attached a zoomed in crop photo for you to compare detail quality with and without the filter on as well as a photo of noticeable flare. As far as the quality of the filter, it feels and sounds to be built of aluminum. It came nicely packaged with in a plastic case, with thick foam, warranty card as well as a microfiber cleaning cloth. It does seem to be about 10 stops darker than without the filter, as is advertised and appears to be nicely built with no blemishes from the factory.  The filter does exhibit some flare as you can see from the photo where I have outlined the flaring in a red box, but this will not be an issue in cases where the sun is not facing the lens. This composition was done on purpose to exhibit any flaring if it is present.  I’m happy to say that the flaring, although present does look to be very manageable and editable to hide in photoshop or your preferred editing program via some desaturation (to remove what little rainbowing there is) and some burning. The filter does not exhibit any loss in quality of detail otherwise and the flaring is expected considering this is not an extremely pricey filter. For the price, I’m impressed.

For anyone looking to purchase this, I’m sure that they will be perfectly happy with the price point as well as the quality of the detail that will be present in the photos as there is no degradation of detail that I can tell. I’m going to be very happy to include it in my camera bag and to use it on many future photographs.

I will add a photo of the packaging and filter when time permits. I will also continue to update the gallery of photos below as I begin to take photos using this filter. Here is a link to the filter on Amazon.
