Premium price, but the mounting system feels unfinished
The image quality and the cross-polarization effect are genuinely good, so there is no criticism from my side in that regard. The carbon finish and overall build quality also give a premium first impression. Unfortunately, the mounting solution is where the system loses me. The counter magnets have to be glued in place, in my case both onto the lateral flashes and onto the holder of the Nikon R1C1 system. What was even more frustrating was that the magnets on the filter in front of the lens came off again when removing the cross-polarizer, even though I followed the recommended 24-hour curing time. At a price of €361.79, I simply don’t find that acceptable. That’s a shame, because optically and functionally the system has a lot going for it. Overall, I’m left with mixed feelings, especially since there are cheaper competing products on the market that seem to offer a much better mounting solution.
