Mine arrived yesterday
Now, anyone know what strength ND filter I use on the Longtime app as the filter is practically black to see through !
However in use I found they are all significantly darker than the shade suggests. The best thing is to just use trial & error, checking with the histograms to determine the factor for your particular filter.
To give you a starting point IIRC the factors worked out in the region of 8 to 13 stops, for shades 9-11.

I've alway liked the castaway look.
Now I think I look more like the old school photos of me than my Avatar.

People don't look as different as I thought they would. Having said that I think #5 & #6 are incredible.
One of the other Forums I browse has an excellent comparison of Visible IR & UV portraits
My own experiment in IR portraits is less successful see here in my PU portfolio.

It being a Cannon, you'll get a lot of 'bang for your buck'.

SR or any image stabilisation system is no good at all for moving subjects, fast shutter speed is the solution to that problem.
I've taken shots of race cars where they look like they've been parked n the circuit, and planes/helicopters where the propeller is stopped. Getting the shot right, involves leaving enough motion blur, in wheels, propellers etc. to give the impression of speed.
Whilst not ideal, I've found Pentax's SR generally improves my (handheld) panning shots, as it copes reasonably well keeping long smooth movements, whilst minimizing of axis shakes.
