Then attach it to your lens and go take some pictures! 5D Mk2 + BG-E6 | Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L | Canon EF 70-210 f/3.5-4.5 USM | 580EX II | Manfrotto 3021N/3030/RC2 | B+W Filters

And I would like to get one or two more 'lighter' one. Any recommendation? I got the B&W 0.9 by mistake and love it. It's good for three stops. You can scroll back a couple of pages and see the sunrise I took with it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14482451@N03/

Out of stock though and I'll be happy with my B+W 10 stop. Can't wait. I just broke my Hoya 2 stop on my last shoot (back pocket is a bad place to store filters). At the time I just had a 2 and 3 stop ND. Now will have a 3 and 10 stop. Down the road I may get another 10 stop for extreme long exposures. We'll see. Right now I am just happy to finally get this filter and pay less then half what it is at local stores. Follow me on Facebook: Natural Light Magic

If I stacked my 2 stop (RIP) 3 stop NDs and my 3 stop Reverse GND I'd get about 8 stops of ND. Most often not enough and I'd get heavy vignetting too stacking so many filters. Hope to remedy some of that with the 10 stop. Now the anxious waiting begins. At least I have NO free time in the future to shoot for myself and will probably get the filter before I do!
