Promaster 72mm IRND1000X (3.0) HGX Prime

The infrared suppression is dead-on—no weird color casts even with the 10-stop density, and the dirt-repelling coating makes wiping off dust after a shoot a breeze. This is the first ND I've used where I don't second-guess sharpness.

The individual grinding and polishing really shows—this filter feels incredibly solid in the hand, and the image clarity is noticeably sharper than my old glass. It handles the infrared suppression perfectly, giving me clean, neutral long exposures without any color cast.

This filter cut down the harsh infrared haze in my landscape shots, leaving the blue sky and clouds crisp. The build quality is impressive; it feels solid and the coating repels dust and smudges perfectly. Exactly what I needed for long exposures on a sunny day.
