Quoting David J Brooks <[email protected]>:
I have bought a few items from Link-Delight in Hong Kong, stuff like
off camera cords etc.
They have ND filters for like 7 bucks. Would they be any good.?? Any
one buy one from hong kong or area,??
Yeah - bought one last year from a seller in China or Hong Kong. Mine
was one of the square ones that fit into a Cokin holder. It has a
strong magenta cast, which (I think) is typical of these cheapies, so
be prepared to do colour balance in post or convert to black and white.
Here's one example that I took with the filter:

There are probably occasions where it could be useful so I haven't
thrown it in the bin (yet).
With that color cast, I wonder if you actually got a mislabeled item?
Instead of a ND filter with a magenta cast, it's a magenta color
conversion filter labeled ND?
