CPL not very effective, but the "dreamy" look is nicely understated.
I've given this 4 stars because the CPL filter doesn't seem that effective, it doesn't work as well has my HAIDA CPL, but that cost three times the price of this.
The 'dreamy' or 'glow' element is very muted, but I like that. It gives a softer look rather than a harsh 'digital' look. I used this to record an interview and I noticed that the skin tones has slightly less detail and a more filmic look. I doubt I'll use this again for photos, but I am considering buying with for a larger lens to try on the big Leica lens I use for video as I found the look to be quite attractive - not too obvious, but I like that, I don't want anything that looks artifical.
If you're expecting a big difference in luminance blooming, or want a solid CPL filter, then you may feel disappointed, but if you want something to give a slight softness then this could be what you're after.
