Does anyone have any recommendations for variable neutral density filters? I need to get a new neutral density filter for my Nikkor S series lens. The thread diameter on the 24 to 70mm is 82. I am considering the B+W XS-Pro Digital ND Vario MRC Nano. However, I am concerned about vignetting at wide angles. I find that I use the ND filter the most for shooting fireworks and I always seem to be at 24 mm or wider depending upon the lens I use. Since I'm shooting at night, vignetting doesn't really seem to be that much of a problem but I really want to start using an ND filter during the day and I have a feeling it might become an issue then. I think @mSummers switch to a square format neutral density filter system. Is that correct? I seem to remember having a conversation with you about that and I was wondering if you had the time to weigh in with recommendations on neutral density filters for me. As always, any recommendations are appreciated. ~Joanie
Correct, I switched to the Lee filter system a couple of years ago. After having continuous issues with fungus growing between the two halves of the variable neutral density filters that I had previously, I decided to never use variable ND’s ever again.
