Full nd filter advice

Hi-tech are good too. I've got both and cant tell the difference. apart from glass vs plastic
 
I really don't fancy blowing over £100 on the Lee stoppers.......Ouch on the wallet, I think the Haida range of ND filters is for me ok.
 
i have LEE and wouldn't think twice about recommending them to anyone.... i know they're very (very) pricey, but by the time you invest in a system sometimes its best to save and go for one and one only, rather than selling and reinvesting in another....
 
Just the ten stopper mate, just to add there's no colour cast either.

The colour cast on welding glass can be dealt with easily by setting a custom white balance before you take the shots. The only drawback of doing this is if you forget to switch back to a more 'normal' white balance when you remove the welding glass, your photos will look as if were taken on another planet.

Hi dave I sorted out colour cast in cs5 but the welding glass was merely a experiment trying something different I normally use cokin filters tbh but looking to do more long exposure work and landscape so looking at getting a good quality but reasonably priced filter

Formatt Hitech Firecrest

Screw in is a good choice even if it is slightly more hassle. It will probably outlast any square filter. There are so many reports of expensive big stopper accidents.

If you buy Hitech firecrest make sure it is firecrest and not the older and cheaper version, particularly if it is coming from the big general online retailer.

Haida may be worth a try if it is just for an occasional use.
 
I've got a big stopper and a screw in filter. The camdiox 10 stop is great value. Worth a look.
 
Have a look at the Hoya Nd400(9 stop) gives great results and prices are pretty low at the moment, around £50 on Amazon which is a steal.
 
HOYA ND filters are great, they price reasonably and has excellent optical quality.
