[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 532385, member: 11881"] ND filter - you can buy them as variable or as individual degrees of darkness. Whatever you get, you get what you pay for in quality optics. If you go with a variable then make sure you stay within the parameters marked. ISO - set at 100 Aperture - you can always tighten up the aperture.
