How about the domestic Haida filters? I want to buy an ND1000. Is it easy to use?

I remember that Haid was famous for their ND. That means if you buy ND, you should buy Haid.

You made the right choice, and the person who recommended it to you is also knowledgeable.

I originally bought Haida because I wanted to find something with higher cost performance and chose the best one with limited funds.

The well-known filters include LEE, B+W, Hitech, and domestically produced Haida, NISI, and Kase.

LEE and B+W are expensive, and I have read reviews from many domestic and foreign photographers that LEE’s 10-stop ND has a serious blue color cast. So decisively give up these two options.

Then go back to domestic production. Many people have a domestic complex and feel it is not good. But I can say that it is still possible in this aspect, and there are even many foreign brands looking for domestic OEMs.

Because filters cost a lot of money, it is necessary to read a lot of reviews in the early stage. The three domestic brands are similar in terms of color cast, sharpness impact, vignetting after long burst, etc., and are even better than foreign brands. But under the same circumstances, Haid’s price is even more pleasing. So I bought Haida ND1000 and ND64.

When I first bought it, it was an uncoated version. It seems that there is a coated version now. I will probably change it if I have enough funds.

The effect is as expected. There is a very small color shift, and even 100% partial enlargement can be found to have little impact, which can save me a lot of work in the later stage. And it’s lower than my budget. With the extra money, I can replace it with a gimbal, which makes me a little happy. So, your choice is correct.

Manual coding is too tiring, I hope you can adopt it. Thanks.
