Agreed. I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy on the effects. I got the 1/4 shortstache.

I love your vide! I have watched a few videos lately where the people are just annoying, but you are so laid back and well-spoken! As to the content, I understand that you are a videographer and you are giving that perspective. I am 99.9% still photography, and, frankly, I didn't like the Everyday Filter at all. I could see zero "blooming highlights" or "halation" or and kind of softening effect that brought on a more film-like quality to the images I tested it on. I super appreciate that you showed actual comparison shots your video; you are the first one I have found that did that. I only wish you had lingered on those comparisons a bit longer and went back and forth with the slider for slow people like myself! In your video and in one other I recently watched, it seemed to me that the only reason there is any "mist" apparent is that the shots and either shooting directly into the sun, include blown out sky, or are taken on misty days. I get a softening, misty effect in photographs when I shoot into the sun without a filter on it! People and the Polar Pro advertising always talk about a cinematic feel and "filmic" (didn't know that was a word) quality that can be obtained with the Everyday Filter. I didn't see that. I went out and shot around town for 2.5 hours and made several images where on the first one I had the Everyday Filter on my lens, and then I took a second of the same image without it on there. Other than the effects of the polarizer on the filter, I saw absolutely no difference when looked at them side-by-side and zoomed in. All shots were straight out of camera, zero post-processing. I took shots from daytime into the darkness. Some had sky, some had artificial lighting and I literally noticed zero difference in how the highlights were displaying. I am wondering what I am missing in this experiment of mine other than not shooting directly into the sun or over-exposing the sky. Sorry for the long comment! I am genuinely curious if I just missed the point of the filter, but then I realized it is billed as something you can leave on all day to bring a "filmic" look. Thanks again for providing comparison footage in your video and for NOT going on and on about what a great box it comes in.

@@ericbjerkesr.5797 hey! I appreciate the long comment and feedback! But yeah I can’t really say to much in a photography sense. I did take a couple pictures with the most version and it did what was advertised. But for everything else I can’t really say cause I only tested it for mainly video. I think the normal everyday filter tends to be a lot more subtle but personally I notice some colors from it 🤷🏻‍♂️. But these are just my own experiences so hopefully as you play with it you’ll learn some more about it

@@Souafilms I sent it back. It It was literally like using just a polarizer. I already have a high-end polarizer. I might get the 1/2 mist and try that.

Hi Soua, I just have one question about this filter, how does it work together with a variable ND? and in what order would you place them? first the ND and then the EVERYDAY or vice versa. Thanks in advance 🤜🏼🤛🏼

@Souafilms 4 ай бұрын

@@JBCCC hey man! Good question. It is able to be used with VND’s. Just keep in mind if the color shifts. But for placement it’s the everday filter then the VND. but just note that since the everyday filter rotates 360, that if you screw on the VND that it become very hard to take off when it’s on the everyday filter and lens. Hope that makes sense

@JBCCC 4 ай бұрын

@@Souafilms Yes, of course it makes sense. Thank you very much for your quick response. I was really looking for a black mist filter to use together with my ND variable for video recordings. I usually record and take photos mainly of motorcycles, I really liked the idea to have also PLC. Thanks again 🤜🏼🤛🏼

@LyndonPatrickSmith 4 ай бұрын

@@JBCCCIt is generally not recommended to use two variable filters (CPL with VND) due to cross polarization. You will probably get way better results with a fixed ND followed by the Everyday filter.

Great video. Picked up the Mist-PL one myself and I do love it but agree it’s a bit too soft for some general use cases. For getting “cinematic” footage and vlogs it’s great though. Will be picking up the Everyday one soon but just spent a bucket load on the new Peter McKinnon VND one so might have to wait a bit😅😭

hahah I totally agree! It's to much for my liking but I think you will enjoy the normal everyday a lot more. I think that one is right on the money

I wish it was 1/8 instead of 1/4. Would have been more of my taste. 1/4 is a bit too much in my opinion, because I also prefer sharper look but still want subtle softening

@Souafilms 3 ай бұрын

I can agree with you on this. Definitely a stylized choice.
