digital vs film for sharpness
Unlike a film, which has a random silver halide cristal surface, the digital sensor has a very precise grid of light collectors. That grid will interact with some other man made objects which form a regular pattern, creating a moire pattern. To avoid the moire pattern, there is a softening filter ...

Hitting a brick wall
OK a few I've taken this morning - I've had an out of focus day so far because I'm finding it difficult using a tripod. I think a release cable or remote is the next thing on the list along with a polarising filter.:roll: Please bear in mind I need to do some serious work on my compositions.:oops...

Close up macro filters- how to use?
I've had good success with a decent Marumi achromatic filter. Admittedly on a decent lens but the results were not too bad. it was a fairly rough test and I was going to revisit it but ran out of time. The images were from the jpg in camera and have not been balanced for exposure etc but its ind...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
I think Pentax, not Sony, are ultimately responsible for the QC of Pentax cameras, in fact I don't think it's so much the sensor as the AA filter assembly. But I agree perhaps the stain issue has sensitized k5 owners to further niggling faults which they might previously have forgiven Pentax for...

Off to Asia - have I forgotten anything?
I've been toying with buying a ND filter and following the recent threads on their use. It might be a step too far for this trip seeing as I'm only now getting back into SLR photography and have plenty else to learn, but I might just get one before I go. Bound to need one if I don't. I do have a ...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
Hi, I'd like to buy an ND filter (some great photos by Richard Hurst on this site) but don't want to shell out massive amounts of money for somehting I mightn't use that much. The 'cheapest good solution' is what I'm looking for; if it's €30 great, if it's €50 then so be it... Can anyone tell me...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
Results like this https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/user-11709/blyth-beach-update-36823 can be got with a piece of welding glass mask for a couple of quid from ebay. Gives a horrible colour cast which needs some messing around with to be removed. But a good, cheap starting point and just the job f...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
I'm afraid you've tried the 'cheap' option. Now you need to look at spending serious amounts of money on a decent one. The cheapest I've seen for a while is one. I've no idea how good/bad it is. The biggest problem with these 10 stop ND filters is that they are not truly neutral. All give a c...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
I have the Formatt/Hitech 10x and it is plenty cheap but does give a pronounced cast. I haven't used it much ... Since I bought it they have introduced a "pro" version - not sure what the difference is, though. I have been rather satisfied with other filters from Formatt. Square 85mm filter is 4...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
The Lightcraft Workshop Fader 2 is a neutral density filter with variable light stopping capability. You turn the filter like a polariser and it reduces the light variably, all the way up to ND400 level. The more I got into using ND filters, the more I needed in a stack, in order to reduce the light...

I haven't heard good things about those variable faders Graham .. what is your experience after having tried other fixed stop filters ? Dinneen : I have just bought a cheap Chinese ND400 filter and holder to try out before I splash out the bigger bucks for a Hoya or Lee. The Tian Ya ND400, Holder...

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
I was just having a look at a Danish forum and the same discussion is going on. One guy gave - apart from that post there are some more articles concerning big stoppers. I will probably put the Formatt PRO on my wishlist for Christmas.

Advice for buying a 10 stop ND/110 filter
I would recommend the B&W ND110. Excellent results can be achieved and its not the most expensive option. If you buy too cheap, you will end up buying twice. Regards, Dave

Other than bulk reduction - is there any real advantage of a 10 stop ND Vs stacking multiple NDs?

Other than bulk reduction - is there any real advantage of a 10 stop ND Vs stacking multiple NDs? Less degradation of the image AND colour cast.
