It's an impressive filter set up.  With out reading more on it, seeing user reviews, it's tough to make a pass or buy decision.

Numbers on the side are a big win.  If it works as it they claim, yeh, awesome.  Pricey, but that would pay for itself perhaps.

I was under the impression that fixed ND filters generally had better image quality than variable. Is that not the case?

Obviously within reason. I know that a $300 variable is going to be better than a $30 fixed.

As for Peter's ND filter, it certainly looks impressive, but then he's a very good salesman, so it's definitely worth waiting for the reviews. The numbers on the side are a great idea though. Mine doesn't have that, and it means there's a bit more trial and error involved.

Just to clarify, are you talking about a variable ND?

Nice filter, but priced high.  Likely to cover royalty check to Peter.

Aside from the fact that they look nothing alike, where did you get this idea?

Most likely from other Polar Pro and Break Through filters do kind of look alike.  They have same rough grip rings.  Just a guess as I have Break Through filters and a good friend has Polar Pro ones and they do have some similar features.
