I'm a beginner, so this is the first filter I've ever bought but so far it works really great! I was worried it was really gonna be visible around the edges since that seems to be a well-known problem for my camcorder (FDR-AX43A), but it's been just fine. It's super slim and fairly easy to take off too.

At first I didn't read the instructions or anything so I went ahead and tried to remove it by turning the base ring, and that didn't go to well. I ended up using a rubber band to turn it. I did another test run to see if I could just leave it a little loose so that I don't have to go through all of that again, but then I realized that the outer ring was changing the pressure... The entire process was a waste of time when it was already made easy for me right there. I had to clean off a little bit of the skin that got shredded off my finger tips, but at least I figured it out.

9.2/10 for me. Would be a 10/10 if the lens cap went in easier or made a clicking sound of some sort, but I'm still not sure if they usually do or not.

Update* I thought it was my display resolution at first, but when I started transfering the pictures to my phone I noticed that the image quality does seem decrease a bit when the filter is on compared to when it's off. Took a star off for now but luckily I have a step up ring arriving soon for some bigger filters I had bought which I hope will be clearer
