[QUOTE="hark, post: 553570, member: 13196"] If you are looking to make moving water appear smooth and silky, look at either a 9- or 10-stop ND filter. I haven't used the fader type myself, but some Nikonites said the ND effect is splotchy (uneven) when rotated to a certain point. If you are going to use it on a wide angle lens, they do make slim profile filters (thinner front to back) to cut down on vignetting. The 9- and 10-stop filters are very dark. You need to compose your image and determine your exposure before adding the filter. It helps to switch to manual focus as otherwise it is too dark to see through, and the camera can't focus. As I previewed what I wrote, I see Jake sneaked in and posted. ;) Lol! [/QUOTE]
