The sweet spot for variable NDs
Gerald Undone on Youtube did a great VND comparison video which includes this filter - I'd suggest checking it out if you want to see how it performs (spoiler - it's good for its price).
No "X" effect as promised, although this is achieved by adding a hard stop to the rotation - hardly a ground-breaking feature, but actually really nice to have, and I wouldn't get one without.
There is some colour cast, but for non-professional work it's totally fine. And VNDs are an inherent trade off of colour quality for convenience - so if you want better optics it's probably better to step up to fixed neutral density filters than spend 3 or 4 times more on a better quality variable one.
All in all I'm totally happy with it, and I can recommended it as a good value and good quality filter.

Good walkaround ultrawide for 6D owners, but not the best IQ
This is a good-value, light-weight ultra-wide zoom lens for full frame, but due to needing a fair bit of correction I'd only recommend it for use on bodies with built-in lens profiles such as the 6D series (or 5D mk3 and newer, but this lens makes less sense on a 5D).
If you are on APS-C there are much better choices (such as the 18-55 kit lens, which covers this entire range with similar, sometimes better IQ).
The ergonomics are perfect - full time manual focus, no front element rotation (or any sort of movement at all). Focus is fast and accurate.
But if the image quality is comparable to an APS-C kit lens, what's the point in using a full-frame camera with this lens? Well, firstly the field of view is equivalent to 12.5mm on APS-C, which is very wide. Secondly, the f/3.5 aperture would require an f/2.2 lens to match depth of field on APS-C, and the f/4.5 at the long end is equivalent to an APS-C f/2.8. I'm not aware of a 12-22mm f/2.2-2.8 APS-C lens at anything close to this price.
So when compared on that basis, you're getting something that's difficult or expensive to achieve on an APS-C sensor for cheap. On the other hand, you really want to stop down to f/5.6 to get decent sharpness, which brings you back to an aperture equivalent to f/3.5 on APS-C - the starting aperture of the wider and sharper Canon EF-S 10-22mm - and that lens is very good wide open.
If you shoot on a 6D already - maybe you have a 50mm or 85mm prime and want a walkaround ultrawide - this is a really good candidate. But a Canon 10-22mm on APS-C will give you better image quality, with a wider angle at the short end and the same reach at the long end, albeit with less depth of field and less flexibility in low light. It's also a bigger lens.
If you need the best (or even above average) image quality look elsewhere, but this is a really nice lens to use, and photography is about much more than sharpness and straight lines. I really wish Canon would make an updated version of this lens though - the 16-35mm f/4L is arguably its closest modern equivalent, but it's larger and heavier, and much more expensive than this lens ever was.

Fat ends limt device support
Bought this DP 1.4 cable to be future proof, but the ends are so thick that it won't fit my monitor. So unless you *need* an 8k cable, it's probably better to go for a lower specification (or more expensive cable).
