Lee Filters Proglass ND Filters 0.9 or 0.6?

0.9. If you want to slow things down then you might as well s - l - o - w --- t - h - i - n - g - s --- d - o - w - n.

I see them as 'water filters'. If it were me i would go for the 3 stop without real thought. It is only a stop difference between the two after all so the stronger one would be more ideal. I shoot some seascapes and I wouldn't say I was any good (I try) and I find myself using the 0.9 all the time.

I shot this in Cornwall with a 3 stop (plus a 2 stop soft grad to hold beack the sly) This would give some clue as to the effect (in low light at least)

This was a 5 second exposure.

I hope this helps.

Jon,

In your opening post you mention "Proglass", which makes me guess you're talking about glass filters?

I'm curious if Lee make glass filters, or are you referring to the X-Pro series?
 
I too would choose the LEE resin ND's. I would be frightened that I might drop a glass filter.
 
Thank you for the link :)
 
I use the 3-stop Pro Glass. It is a lovely piece of glass but then it ought to be at the price. A couple of my examples from Cornwall below too. The first one there was stacked with a Lee 2-stop hard edge ND Grad and resulted in 20 seconds at f8 (iso 100).

I generally find the 3-stop just right for slowing water. If I need a bit more I go down to iso-50 for another stop.

I have the three stop ND pro-glass and a set of ND grad hard resins (all Lee). I have found in many situations I can pull the nd grads right down to fully cover the lens with the dark part; effectively acting as a full nd filter. This is using a Tokina 12-24 UWA with 77mm filter thread and wide angle filter holder. Not noticed any difference in quality. If there is any light leakage at the bottom, you can often position the frame to allow you to crop a tad off.
