eBay 10 stop filter

[HoppyUK]

I decided tonight that since I have money sitting in paypal just now that I would just order one of these. Unfortunately I left it 5 minutes too late. The listing had ended. After half an hour it showed as being relisted, but with a change.
The product is exactly the same but the seller has changed the listing to say that the filters after testing have proved to be ND4 (13 stop)
they also mention a slight blue cast caused by the filter.
So now I am back to being undecided and will await further testing by those that have taken the plunge already.

If I was selling welding glass, cut to size and mounted in a filter ring, that's how I'd describe it...

True, although the results so far look ok. They also have a 6 stop listed which I may go for as six stops should be enough in most situations.

pretty much, yep - though in fairness, the slight blue cast is nothing compared to the heavy green of the welders - it'll definitely go with a custom WB in camera, where the welders glass will get reasonably close on my 450D but in the process sucks all the life out of the shot.
