BrorSvensson Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Im really really loving my genustech eclipse, tbh i could not see any difference between the slr magic one and the genustech (i've used both now extensively). The genus is alot cheap so i would really recommend it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damphousse Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 another nice one is SLRMagic Vari ND tested by Brawley: https://vimeo.com/johnbrawley/review/106381581/6ae5f7095b also SLRMagic rumored to release soon a new version of their filter with better specs, additional ring and few different sizes.The problem is there are no head to head test vetting the SLR Magic Variable ND filter. Watch the Dugdale video. There are a lot of parameters that come into play with variable NDs. Honestly if I bought just one filter some of those deficits would not immediately jump out at me. I'm not telling anyone what to buy. Just letting everyone know looking at these things in isolation or only focusing on one parameter and ignoring all else will make you miss things that may be important to you.

That's good to know. I bought the Tiffen. I don't even know if SLR Magic had a variable ND filter out back then.Here is an interesting test... I wish more charts and side by side identical images were used along with more close ups. Color fidelity seems better with the SLR Magic in this video.
