Anyone know anything about these filters?
Yes...I do.
They are of good quality and very handy....BUT....
They suffer from the same anomoly as all other variable ND filters...they show a dark X over the image at extreme settings (like on 8-10 on a 10 stop ND filter)
It's just the nature of the beast. Just google "variable ND filter X pattern" and read all about it.
I went with a fixed ND filter from B&W because of this.
But having said all of that...I've had two of the Lightcraft MK II faders and they are fine filters as long as you know about the X thing.
