ND Filters.......

[carl.w]

Not something i would use very often so i have been looking for something not expensive and came across these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170812989...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2762wt_1396 seem very reasonable or does anybody know of an alternative?

They're certainly not dear.

My experience of Cokin P series is that they have a magenta colour cast (you can actually see the cast in the advert, the far left grads).

Have a look at Hitech filters, very good, not as dear as Lee but less cast than Cokin.

Like the look/cheapness of these Filters, anyone got a set of these?

i've bought a set of those according to the bar on top of the listing. so i guess i've got exact one.

build quality: acceptable. image quality: don't know yet.


can do some shots for you if you want. i've yet to really use them. was going to use them during family holiday last week, but the tripod stayed in the luggage the whole trip

If you could that would be brill, seem worth it only concern is i have heard is of possible light leak with the Cokin?

Aye yea, results would be good, I've just ordered some welding glass just now and if I like the results and type of shots I'm getting Id probably move on to the above.

right, first time photography product review, so this will be light on details, not sure what infomation to be said, sorry.

reference photo: (focused on the radio, with a flashgun to the left side, triggered by on-camera flash at lowest setting) (35mm prime, f/4, 60th sec, 100 ISO, 5500k WB)

ND filter middle one:

ND grad filter darkest one:

ND grad filter middle one:

overall image quality, it's okay, pretty much unnoticeable for my entry level D3100. there is slight noticeable purpole with the ND grad filters.

mounting kit is easy to use, there are 3 slots, the middle slot is not as stiff as the two outer ones, feels like it'd slip out.

for £30 you are getting a good value kit. i rekon it's a good buy if you just want to get into that kind of things, there will be better ones out there, but just like my D3100, i think it's more than enough for all non-serious work. :baby:



hope that helps. any other way i can help, please ask.

 

[carl.w]

Thanks Wuyan for taking the time, as you say for £30 you are getting a good value kit so think i will give them a go.

Carl.

Anymore feedback on these? I haven't taken the plunge yet as I have been using a bit of welding glass, but would get these if there any good.

Edit: They are not less than £15... with a 'Make an offer', I might chance a £10 offer later on!
