To be honest, given the info that has been shared on this thread already, I don''t think there's much point in doing an in-depth review. I have been so busy and feel a bit silly now having said i wold do one. anyway, here are some more thoughts:

- the build quality is very good.
- it's easy to grab the ring at the front and rotate it.
- the markers help a lot
- there is a very slight colour shift which becomes more prominent the darker you go but to be honest it is very slight and can easily be sorted in-camera
- the 77mm that i got came with a nikon-like lens-cap

overall this product is excellent value, the seller had it to me very quickly and i would definitely recommend.

And here's a Vimeo review:
