How does the price compare with 370cm of scaffolding pole?

I'd imagine quite alot - but given this is aluminium and scafolding pole is steel I would say the cost implication far out weighs the errr weight implication... ;)

Your shots are so good with what you have, it'd be a waste of money. I mean, $1200 (minimum) will buy a nice lens...

I sure wouldn't recommend stacking that many filters. You can get a 9 stop ND filter from BH and then you won't have to stack at all.

The one I'm using is the Formatt 82mm ND 2.4 FILTER - FOND2.482**I ordered it last year so I'm not sure they are still making that model. It was a special order and took about a month to come in but it was well worth it.
