    Hello,
    Thank you for taking the time to review our products.
    We highly value constructive feedback from our customers as it helps us continually improve and better serve you. The point you raised about the Eiger matte box was excellent feedback, and we have already made improvements based on your input.
    As for the lens cap holder, we recognize its value, especially when using a lens hood. This feedback was often received for the M1.
    Once again, thank you for consistently providing us with valuable feedback. We look forward to sharing something new with you shortly.
    Freewell Team

      Ahhhh for taking it on and off with a lens hood isn’t something I thought of it ran into but that is a fantastic solution for!

      The lens cap and the ring are amazing and the best solution out there. Stick to this design, please.

    The ring on the lens cap is amazing and a game changer. I leave it the way that I can simply stick my finger through. Than rotate it so it is on the outside of my hand. Never been easier to use a lens cap, store a lens cap, not loose it and have it at hand, literally, at all times. This product is fantastic.

    Huge thanks for this video. Haven’t found much on the fixed filters like here. Curious, do you know if there’s any upgrade in glass quality from the original ones vs the new m2? Like is there any real difference at all or is it just cosmetic stuff and the new cap?

    Great review. Question! Are these snug fit? I used k&f magnetic and their cap is also threaded so they left a light wiggle room which makes them feel cheap

  • @DrFurb
    @DrFurb Před 9 měsíci +1

    Thanks good style of review. Do their filters fit M4/3 systems?

    • @ThomasBusbyPhotography
      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před 9 měsíci

      Absolutely, but it’s the lens front thread size you need to check, M4/3 lenses can be very small so you might need a step up ring to make it work

    great review! do you think the 3 pack would suffice for most day to day shooting?

    • @ThomasBusbyPhotography
      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před 3 měsíci

      Hard to say sorry as it really depends on what and how you’re shooting.

    Thanks for the review. Do the M2 versions have threads on the front of each filter to allow you to stack a threaded filter?

    Will your lens hood still fit with the filter holder and filters attached to your lens?

    Hi Freewell folks. I am about to Buy the new M2 System. My biggest lens currently is a size 77 filter size. I also have a 72, and 67. Friends are telling me to buy size 82 and use your step up rings. they say it will prevent vignetting. what do you suggest. I worry about lens caps on my lenses when not in use. Thank you for your help, Tony

    • @ThomasBusbyPhotography
      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I struggle with this as well.
      Step up and down filters don’t play nice with lenses caps.
      And buying multi of the same filters isn’t fun.
      However I went with buying a few of my favourite filters at different sizes.
      I own less different filters than I could have for the same money, but I also use filter thread size as a factor when buying lenses knowing what filters I already have for them.
      Because I love keeping my lens clean and using a lens cap as often as I can, and I change lenses a lot.

      You can buy a h&y revoring attach the magnetic filters to that and it's easy to to take in and off afterwards

      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před 3 měsíci

      I didn’t have any issues removing it but freewell pointed out if you’re using this system with deep lens hoods (which I didn’t) the ring is great. Which I’d agree with.

      But I don't understand difference between M2 and V2...

      @lhl8856 Před 2 měsíci

      @@memfault v2 is an hybrid filter with ND filter as the base filter of 3 stop. So you if using v2 it is lowest ND stop + CPL while for M2 it can be purely just Cpl or just ND filter
