Kase Wolverine. About the only ones (avaliable in Sweden at least) that didn't cause color cast or deteriorated sharpness and rendering.

Hi David, I own a set of NISI filters and they are amazingly well made. There is no color casting and they truly work as advertised. If any photographer wants a very good set of filters, NISI is the way to go. But like you say, they are expensive and those adapter rings are a pain in the a$$ to remove.
1. Been using NiSi filters for the past few years. They are high quality glass, but tend to have a slight warm color cast when shooting long exposures. Nothing that cannot be easily corrected in post processing though. I use the 150x150 and 150x170mm filters for my 14-24mm lens.....and they are bloody expensive! 2. Build quality is excellent, but falls short on ease of use. Its a bit of a faf to screw on and screw off the CPL from the holder. They could come up with a better system in the future (magnetic?). 3. Another issue i experience is once i turn the CPL to the desired spot to get max polarization, the CPL actually turns a bit when i insert an ND filter in front of it.
Mate, I just got the Nikon 14-24mm and since I have got the Nisi system for my Tokina 11-16mm kit, I thought I would get the same kit for my Nikon lens. Upon researching, they are bloody expensive both the individual unit or the entire kit. I cant seem to get good result when stacking my 10 and 6 stops as the colours are distorted.
@@melodicprogressivehousemph6429 yeah, every high quality 150mm filter system is going to be expensive...NiSi, Lee, Haida etc 16 stops of light reduction is a bit too much for me....the max i have used is my 15 stop ND filter for ~5 min exposures resulting in slightly warm color cast but can easily be corrected in Lightroom
I've used many brands / systems. I now have the V-Pro system for my standard lens as well as my bulbus 14-24. This is the best system I've found. Money well spent in my opinion.
Great review and honesty mate. Pictures were awesome, but I expect no less from you with waterfalls 🤙🏼 currently doing a review of a K&F concept square filter kit, which seems a little less fiddly then NISI, but I’m yet to get it out in the field, so reserving my judgement. Keep up the great reviews mate. Thanks.
I do have some expensive filters. But more and more I feel that square holder is not practical for use in the field (woods). Nowadays I use a screw on HOYA polarizer (one size for all my lenses using stepup-rings) and the square system stays in my pack. If necessary i blend different exposures,
i was looking for some independent reviews on the outex waterproof system, i have a question as i see you tested it a while back, did you have any problems with condensation inside the cover. i'm looking at getting one myself thanks Laura
David, regarding the ease of use issues you mentioned, have you tried any of the magnetic attaching filters? If so, what are your thoughts about those? Were they not of the same quality as the NiSi's? Thanks. Your videos are very informative.
David, Have you used the Breakthrough Photography filters? I find the quality of construction, color rendition, durability, and cost of the system to be very attractive as an addition to any photographers camera bag.
I watched this for comparison and went for the Nisi circular filter kit - 4 ND filters for £169 as opposed to Breakthrough 2 filters 6 and 10 stop £250.Breakthrough less sharp but no colour cast,Nisi - sharper but tend toward magenta th-cam.com/video/I7bKaAG5SNo/w-d-xo.html For an amateur i think the circular filters are the (financially ) best option !

CPL & ND filter with V6 holder.. Wish NiSi make magnetic circular filter system 🙂
David, thank you for this review. I’ve been considering getting some rectangular filters, I certainly will consider nisi after seeing your video.
Right on! Thanks for watching.

Interesting. I didn't have a color cast on mine. I was using the 100x100 though. Yes, very expensive haha.

Do you use the V6 on the 14-24? 100x150 gnd filters?

I’ll be looking forward to that review Kieran.
@@DavidJohnstonPhoto cheers man. I was taking notes whilst watching this 😂

Right on. Yeah I like the screw on filters too, but I also like the holder systems with square filters when I want to stack them and use them together

Nope! I even used it in super humid conditions and it did great. No condensation

I haven't tried the magnetic ones, although I'd be interested to see the quality of them. Sometimes ease of use creates a decrease in quality.

I’ve seen them but never used them!
@@DavidJohnstonPhoto Good filters. They also have a new line of drop-in filters for the Canon EF to RF mount adapter.
Yes!!! I just saw that the other day!
