ND Filters
 

Don't have the bucks for a Heliopan, not terribly happy with genus, so considering the clarity of a filter set. Any recommendations? IF I had only 2 ND filters, which should I carry?

I'm using kit lens for now.

I use a Light Craft variable ND filter. I'm happy with it.

Doug Jensen, in his DVD ¨Mastering the FS100¨ suggests the same as is fitted to the F3 - .9, .6 & 1.8 for using fixed ND filters.

Hi Bill
maybe i'm the only one in Europe who bought the Heliopan filter from the USA and paid too much and then discover this store in Germany: Foto Mayr - Fotofachversand seit 1983
B&H price 444.00 $ and Fotomayr €200,00 (263$) + €28,00 shipping cost..big difference..i paid the B&h price and discovered the Fotomayr price later :-(
Now that i have the Heliopan filter i can understand why is it so pricy,many people from Canada and USA bought it from Fotomayr.
hope it helps.

Fixed filters don´t give you the fine and precise control you can get out of a vari ND.
Same with a filter wheel - it forces you to compromise your shutter speed or aperture to adjust exposure.

Since I use a vari ND, I don´t look back to compromises (or adjusting via lights - if possible at all).

I really want the Heliopan http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/765517-REG/Heliopan_707790_77mm_Vario_Neutral_Density.html but can't read a word of German so can't figure out which product on the Fotomayr website is the corresponding product. Is this it here?
