I don't intend to use it too often, and they are rather expensive, so I want to buy only one. A 6-stop filter will slow the shutter speed by a factor 64. This is probably good for waterfalls and flowing water, where exposures of order of 10 s are good enough. A 10-stop filter gives a 1000-fold shutter speed slow-down and might be useful if I wanted to take a picture of a street in bright daylight and blur people away, by using an exposure of 5 or 10 minutes. Hence, they have different applications.As I said, I want to buy only one. Which one would you recommend? Which one would be more flexible and would give me more opportunities for interesting photos apart from the examples above?</blockquote>
