[QUOTE="adox66, post: 247948, member: 17861"] If you are shooting landscapes/seascapes using a graduated ND filter along with a 10 stop works great. Attach your ND grad and adjust to required height(dark part of the grad covering the sky) meter your shot for correct exposure, work out what that would be with a 10 stop attached and dial that setting in. Attach your 10 stop and either use a remote or your delayed timer n camera to avoid any movement. I use live view with this method and focus manually to get (hopefully) the sharpest shot. I select a focus point approx a third of the way up the image usually, use the zoom view on live view to zoom all the way in and then manual focus. Im im using the lee filter system. They are expensive but they work really well and they are something I use on approx 80% of my shots. I use mainly a .9 hard grad ND which blocks 3 stops of light and the big stopper which blocks 10.
