Review on Haida Filter Holder System 14 24Mm by Reggie Higdem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better and worse at the same time!

Mixed feeling. Something between award and robbery at the same time. On the one hand - good quality, pleasant haze, the ability to attach / remove the mount without removing the lens from the camera, install all the necessary filters, and then attach everything together to the camera. the other - a) a small thin pin for removing the filter part (in winter it is difficult to work with gloves, you can break or bend if you carry it in a backpack). The "old" version gives at least one additional pin. b) annoying clicking sound of the filter part in strong winds or any other minor camera movement (+ extra vibration that can ruin the picture at slow shutter speeds. ), c) inability to tighten / fix the rotating part of the filter in place ( it exists always the possibility of accidentally touching it and turning it a little, which is not very good when arranging separate divisions in a small space). The old version gave this d) grinding noise when the small sprockets (read polarizer) rotated. Sometimes these devices just get stuck and you have to reverse to get the filter moving. e) This device is much larger than the previous iteration and takes up more space in your bag! - This is definitely a minus when you are out and about or in nature. f) The price is unreasonably high ($200+ for 3 pieces of metal? Has Haida positioned itself as the Apple of the world of filters?) Your choice, but I think I'll use the "Version 1" more for something compact and more reliable Feeling.
