There's a bunch of cheap knockoffs out there too if you dig around on Amazon.. if you want to try it out to see if the technique is something you want to invest in, as building a full set of quality filters could easily have you dropping a few hundred dollars.

The cheaper the filter the more tint it introduces in the photos (can be tricky to remove), as well as making shots less sharp. The ultimate cheap ND filter is welders glass, but it introduces a wicked color tint. If you want to give it a try for as cheap as possible, go buy one and play around- then if you like it and find that you will use it a lot, buy something good. Wasting tons of time trying to fix photos after using poo poo filters is frustrating and will make you use them less often.

While the Pholder you get with them is acceptable in quality, the plastic filters are pretty bad. For color, shoot raw and twiddle with the WB a bit to help remove a slight green/purple cast you get. For b/w they are almost acceptable for use. I would say they are ok for someone who is just tinkering a bit with them for b/w use or wants a cheap Pholder. For color they add a lot of work in post. Welding glass is generally 14 stops, get a ND calculator for your smartphone. Ive used it with good results. It does cast green though, so be weary of that. Its not a huge issue if your doing b/w though.

Yeah, I know the cheap ones are meh. That's why they're cheap! But it's one of those things that come with a lot of sticker shock if you want to get decent hardware. ND filters make landscapes a heck of a lot more fun and I think everyone should try it, so just buy something and see if you enjoy the technique so you can avoid one of those "eh I'll get them someday when I have some extra cash" situations that results in never ever actually doing it.

The cheap ones are pretty much junk but they can be fun to play with as a beginner. But you will outgrow them.. you'll either decide using filters isn't your thing and stop trying, or open up your wallet and buy some quality filters.

Actually, the really cheap way to do it is to either shoot in low light (or use non-graduated ND filters to cut your light) to achieve a 15+ second exposure, then at the beginning of your exposure use a black piece of construction paper to cover the horizon on your photo for the first part of the exposure, spend a few seconds feathering the exposure (by slightly moving the construction paper up and down to eliminate sharp black lines), then remove the black paper entirely and finish the exposure without any obstructions. It will have exactly the same effect as a graduated ND and it is infinitely adjustable, while at the same time being harder than just using a regular graduated ND.

I have a Hoya ND-400x for one of my lenses (52mm threads) and it's something like an 8.66-stop ND filter. Doesn't cast much of a tint from what I can tell, but I shoot RAW and correct the white balance in post. Edit: Meant to say that as soon as I can, I'll be getting it in 77mm so I can adapt it to all my lenses. Example:

Marumi (Super DHG CPL) is the best bang for the buck. I can't find the old review that compared like 10 of them, but it's amazingly good for the price (if not better than even the ones twice it's price, but I don't recall the rankings exactly). e: Found it: http://www.lenstip.com/115.4-article-Polarizing_filters_test_Results_and_summary.html

Lee/Cokin have awesome graduated ND filters, whereas I haven't seen anyone recommend a screw-on graduated ND filter at all. And since the filter holder on Lee/Cokin is typically a bit wider than the lens itself, you can stack em without worrying as much about vignetting. I think that's about it. e: vVv knowledge dropped. thanks for the info vVv mclifford82 fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 12, 2013 |

And since the filter holder on Lee/Cokin is typically a bit wider than the lens itself, you can stack em without worrying as much about vignetting. I think that's about it. You can also make your own colour filters from theatre lighting gels (lee sell plastic frames for such use, or you can just make your own 100mm x 100mm frames. Some people have also made their own glass filters for things like starburst. The Lee/Cokin system is future proof(ish1) in that if you buy the 100mm set (or as Cokin call it 'Z-pro'2) then it will fit on pretty much any lens thread available. 1 There's a 150mm standard that has been gaining traction, due in part to the appearance of large (>100mm thread) ultra-wides. There are also 175mm and 200mm standards hanging around in the distance, so whether or not 150mm ends up becoming the standard above 100mm is yet to be seen. 2 There are currently 3 standards for square interchangable filters: Cokin A/68mm, Cokin P/85mm, and Cokin Z/100mm. While there are a few filters available in 85mm but not 100mm or 68mm, it's really best aiming for a 100mm setup if you can afford it, it should be possible in theory to up-mount a P filter in a Z sized frame, and have it work on lenses where a P setup would work. Also, cheap knock off 'P' systems are very cheap on ebay, and if your primary filter system is the expensive/'good' system then it's not too much of a hassle having a backup P system clone for the rarer filters.

Has anyone ever bought a refurbished CF card off ebay before? (i.e. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SanDisk-64GB...82742f0a&_uhb=1) Two of these new would kill my budget for an up-coming trip but losing shots to junk cards would also kill my trip.

I've never done it and I never would. Don't do it. It's just not worth it. Select your shots better, selectively delete, buy a smaller card, borrow one from a friend, anything.

You'd better come back with gigs of birds  I can blow through 16 gigs in an hour shooting birds. Granted 90% of it gets chucked in post but I needed a lot on hand. If I was in a bird heavy area away from home I'd want as much space as possible.
