[QUOTE="hark, post: 402804, member: 13196"] As Sparky mentioned, it is possible this filter has been discontinued by Hoya. Amazon lists it as first showing up in June 2003 so it is over 10 years old. I bought one last year when B&H had a sale on it...I think it was around $49. I haven't use a variable ND filter myself, but some of the reports make it seem like it is uneven especially at the higher strengths. If you own a CP filter, that can also be used as a low strength ND filter. CP filters vary from filter to filter, but the box should list a filter factor (such as 1.5, 2, or something similar). If you find a 9-stop or 10-stop is simply too much, you can always get a less expensive 3-stop ND filter. If you are looking to slow down water to make it smooth, a 9- or 10-stop is really a good place to start. [/QUOTE]
