Thinking of investing in a 10 stopper to try out some long exposure stuff - I've a weeks hols on Ardnamurchan coming up, so thinking of seascapes etc.

Any advice on a good 'un? I'm eyeing up the B&W 77mm - which I could get step down rings for use on smaller lenses. £75 via amazon and seems to be well regarded, but other suggestions welcome. I wondered if I'd be maybe be better investing in a square filter system (HiTec probably, Lee is v hot price wise!)?

What do folk who use 10 stoppers have????

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Been thinking of a B+W myself and step down rings! Looking forward to what others have to say.

Lee would have been my choice, and was, but I couldn't wait the 6 months or more for delivery, so I haven't bothered any more.

All 10 stoppers suffer from a colour cast in varying degrees. The Lee seemed to be the easiest to compensate for, but it remains more or less unavailable.

Whichever you choose, you will need to make colour corrections so I suggest you shoot RAW for best results.
