[QUOTE="hark, post: 835892, member: 13196"] Although I have a few different ND filters, including one that is a variable ND filter, the only one at hand when I took these was a 10-stop. So I chose to use it anyway. However, I do want to find my 3-stop, 6-stop, and variable ND filters. The nice thing with most screw on filters is if you match the ND filter size to the lens' front filter size, you can use a lens hood. But when I purchased a Tiffen variable ND filter (2 to 8 stop variable), the diameter of the filter was a little too wide for me to put on the lens hood even though it was the correct size filter. But it is convenient being able to quickly dial in anywhere from 2 stops to 8 stops. I have some Cokin filters that I haven't used in ages, but I'm pretty sure there is an optional lens hood available. If you don't have one, you might want to consider getting it.
