Which Filters ???

[doozie]

Hi All,

Going to Florida in a few weeks and think I will benefit from maybe a Polarizing Filter and an ND Grad but, Ive noticed some filters come with a code number.

Do the numbers relate to the Filter's strength ?

If so what do you guys recommend ?

Cheers,

Umm, it might help if you give us an example so that we can tell you exactly what they numbers mean, and also, what make are the filters you are looking at?

What he said. But Yes ND filters come with a code (.3, .6 etc) to indicate strength.

Everyone should have the filters you mention (imo) as they're really useful.

Why not google camera retailers in the area you're visiting? You may find you can buy 'em cheaper there! But if you buy loads HMC+E could charge you import duty and VAT on your return.
