[QUOTE="hark, post: 798050, member: 13196"] Frank, when you say [I]graduated[/I], do you really mean graduated or do you mean variable? They are two different things. I have a variable ND filter - [URL='https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/813278-REG/Tiffen_77VND_77mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html']this one by Tiffen[/URL].
