• Strong Support Excellent demonstration of the filter in use. We need one for Polarizing filter (photography) too. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:50, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose. overexposed in most of the image. Heh. Just kidding, support. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:20, 26 July 2013 (UTC)\
  • How did I see that coming? Hmmm... (should bold your real !vote) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:56, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

True. The joke isn't worth the image failing. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:26, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

• Comment I wish the caption would clarify what you're supposed to do with this. Do you attach this to the camera lens somehow?-- mcshadypl ^TC 04:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
• Weak support - Great encyclopedic value and executed fairly well, but I think knowing the degree of light reduction (3 stops or thereabouts?) would add significant value. Juliancolton (talk) 16:30, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I'll try to contact the creator and hear him out. If I get any information, I'll add it here as well as on the file page. --Kimsey0 (talk) 00:07, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
    • It's a ND4 (2 stops light reduction) according to the creator of the picture. I have updated the description page accordingly. --Kimsey0 (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
• I wonder i you would crop out most of the fingers and have the lens be about half of the entire image would look better. Nergaal (talk) 18:38, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I think it's better to do it this way, as this makes it clear it's not how the lens is normally used, while showing its effect. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:20, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
