ND filter for Z280.
 
Im thinking of buying an ND filter for my Z280. Something I can fit for a bright sunny day.

Amy recommendations ?

Thanks in advance :)

I use this Tiffen .6 ND (2-stops) on my Z280. B+W is also a good brand.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, I'm still using basically the same scene file myself after three years.
Your desire to get a ND filter is spot on. I was shooting a SpaceX launch yesterday and couldn't find my 77mm ND filter when I go to the shoot so I had to stop down to f/5.6 when the built-n electronic varable ND topped out at 1/128. I'd rather keep it at f/2.8. Everyone wants cameras that are better and better in lowlight, but the flip side is that you have to have a a lot of ND in daytime. I wonder if the camera that replaces the Z280 someday will have dual-sensitivity like the FX6 and other cameras. It is very useful.

Glad to hear the current scene file is still going strong :)

Thanks Doug.
