I have one of those, and use it for indoors mainly. It covers well for
24mm (the one I have). Your price is really very reasonable. The decrease
in the GN depends on the application. As I said, it is convenient for
indoors, but I haven't used it with super FP mode.
The material really looks stupid at the price. It looks as if one can have
the same effect with a piece of mica.
