The Fader ND (HD) filter is a significant improvement over the previous version by the same company. My friend has the older model and I've seen it in use on her Canon 5D. The previous Fader ND filter was prone to banding and vignetting, which did cause a noticeable reduction in image quality. Neither banding or vignetting appear at any setting of the newer HD version. There is only a >very< slight color change as the filter is darkened down which makes obtaining (and maintaining) white balance much easier as well. I have used Cokin "neutral" density filters in the past and they are far from neutral! The glass on the Fader HD itself appears exceptionally clear when mounted on the lens, and does not appear to degrade the quality of the image at all. The rotation of the filter elements is smooth and feels very solidly constructed. Very importantly (to me, since I do not have a matte box) I was able to mount my lens hood over the filter (on both my 35mm prime and 85mm prime lenses). I can still rotate the filter by putting a finger down inside the lens hood - the rotation of the filter is smooth but solid and easy to accomplish even with the tip of a finger. I've used the filter for HDR composite photography and for 1080HD video and the results are fantastic! The lack of banding or vignetting is a huge improvement over the previous model and the extra $$ is money well spent! The ability to shoot wide aperture is a huge bonus to cameras with such large sensors, such as my Canon 5D. I've shot HD video at apertures as wide as f/1.2 in bright sunlight, with the shutter speed set to 1/50th of a second, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. This kind of footage was previously limited to massively expensive hollywood cameras (see the DSLR versus film shootout here: [...]). I've also used it to cause motion blur to waves at the beach (again in full daylight), with exposures as long as 30 seconds, with no degradation of white balance settings. This filter is very very very close to being fully 'neutral', works well, seems very solidly built and there are no surprises. It comes with a plastic case for care when not in use. An excellent product! 5 stars.
