[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 702708, member: 13090"] Were you using an [B]ND8[/B] filter by any chance? I ask because an ND8 filter is actually a [I]three-stop[/I] reduction, [B]not[/B] eight stops, as the nomenclature might have lead you to believe. To get an eight stop reduction you'd need to be using an ND256 which is a little uncommon, while ND8's are quite common. Here's a chart showing the nomenclature and f-stop reductions for ND filters up to eight stops. Notice how the ND number doubles for each increasing stop of light transmission blocked: [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]313716._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
