Hi folks,

So I have an expensive B+W MRC Variable ND & I'm now looking for a 10 Stop, I prefer circular filter thread mount & will go for an 82mm which I can then use step down converters as required.

Ideally I'd like to keep my price down & have seen these:

Anyone using them & if so, are they any good?

Thanks

Lee

I got a Haida Slim 10 stopper. Very happy with it.


Search Haida slim on ebay. The bay had the best prices.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I haven't, personally, used them; but the Firecrest filters are very much liked by the folks that have purchased them.

I just got a 6 stop ND from Breakthrough Photography. I'm very happy with it. It's a very good quality filter. They do make a 10 stop in 82mm.
