[QUOTE="hark, post: 414488, member: 13196"] The intensity of a ND filter has nothing to do with vignetting. Vignetting occurs when the outside edges of a filter show up in your photo so it has to do with the design of the filter. Wide angle lenses suffer from vignetting when filters are used so you want to look for filters that are a slim profile. The frame of the filter isn't as thick when measuring its depth from front to back. The other alternative is to buy a filter size that is larger than what your lens takes and use a step up ring. That will help alleviate any vignetting; however, the down side is most times you won't be able to use a hood on the lens. Here is a thin Hoya 6-stop ND filter for a 77mm lens which is a slim profile design. I own this in the 82mm size.
