Pros: | Seamless gradation, neutral color, slim, affordable, well built... | Cons: | Not easy to clean | | Improving the overall exposure without any loss in general image quality. And I've noticed no unwanted effects while photographing against the light.
The seamless gradation, from top to bottom, is very easy to work with when adjusting the composition to the horizon/skyline. Color is neutral without any color cast.
Craftmanship is fine too with smooth moving parts. Attention though - be gentle when attaching it. As, with most filters, it risk getting stuck. Especially to (low cost) step-rings.
The performance to price value can't be complained about either. Although the price has risen quite a bit in recent years.
I use the 58mm and the 77mm combined with different step up rings, to cover my complete lens selection.
