Well done. thanks
Thank you for this video. I can really appreciate this setup and the time it took for you to explain it all. I am shooting with a Nikon Z9, and the Nikon 180-400mm and pairing them both with the SmallRig components. I like the swappable idea of the Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter for (the one with the small geared teeth) in the Canon and Nikon lenses. Regarding the Drop-in Filter for either ND or VND, which would you recommend, Michael? Thank you
how about some links on DSLR/ Mirrorless choices my friend thanks
MooseMan Nature Photos as far as bodies? We’ll see what we can do
really well done and informative
I just bought a 105mm Ø variable ND Filter for my Sigma 120-300 f/2.8, which cost me around 20$ (+shipping).
I really hoped that the price was due to their production stop, but no. The quality is just terrible. I don't think I'll be spending hundreds of bucks any time soon for a decent variable ND Filter, so for now I'll just have to work with that. (Or use a really small aperture)
Anyway, great comparison between all the available options! Appreciate it!
Unfortunately, that's a big filter size so anything of quality is going to be expensive.
Alexander Klee it’s a dilemma as you don’t ever want to put cheap glass on high dollar glass. The 120-300 is a quality lens and you definitely will want to save a bit for a higher quality ND option so that you don’t sacrifice image quality.
Very well done video Michael! Perfect explanation for all the systems. For me, if I am moving around quite a bit, I will use the variable neutral density filter. However, if I am in a location that I am stable and situated in one place, I will use my Lee Filter system. As you say, one filter in front of the glass is better than two if you can make it work. - Chris
Thanks Chris
I have a fuji the make a fotodiox makes variable neutral density adapter for canon ef and ef-s
Thanks for this video! I love seeing the different options put into context from the everyday solution to what the professionals use.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, thanks!
thanks!
Which lens are you using on the RED?
Cole, in that piece the Sigma 120-300 F2.8 was mounted
Excellent information for me.just starting to experiment with NDs.Very helpful.Other thing on my list is a proper fluid head.would love to see some detailed info on some options.Ive spent up to $1200 and can't seem to find one that that has perfect counterbalance on my mirrorless(GH5) with 150-600mm. Often experiencing a little creep while tilting or panning no matter how fine I adjust.Wondering if it has to do with small body and long lens center of gravity.Anyway if you ever care to delve in on the subject, would love to see a video on that.Hoping I don't have to spend upwards of $2000 .Thanks
Coming right up😉
Trying to implement the option to use various ND filters on the Canon drop-in filter system. Can find plenty of 52mm ND’s but many of them won’t fit in the lens filter slot because the housing is slightly larger than the Canon protection filter. Any recommendations on specific filter brands you’ve used that work on the Canon screw in filter?
U need the drop in EF to RF adapter with VND
do professionals really use variable nds? because that cross pattern you get from using two polarizers just doesn’t sit well with me even with the ones that have hard stops
Only in a pinch. Mostly a matte box with standard ND filters. If a variable is used it always a high quality filter.
