Great but heavy
This is a nice set of Schneider Optics Century 4" x 4" glass filters. The main reason I ordered this was for the graduated neutral density and the solid neutral density and figured the others would come in handy at some point.I ended up returning these for the following reasons:The graduated filter has a very soft graduation.Each filter weighs in at over 3.63oz (the set comes in at over 1.25 lbs just for the glass, not to mention the case).The case does nothing to stop dust or dirt from getting in.If you need high quality in the studio or if weight is not an issue, this might be the set for you.
