Has anyone used the cavision filters?
Are they good?
I can get some pretty cheap and want to make sure I am getting quality.

I found some 4 x 4 used tiffen and formatt ones for good deals, but new ones are 250 or more.

I can get cavision brand new ND filters for 80 a piece that are 4 x 5.65.
Seems too good to be true.
 
Not sure what Cavision are like but I have a load of Formatt filters which I am currently offloading. Brand new never used and still in their plastic sealed bags. In fact I have them up on ebay at the moment for anyone interested.

The Formatt filters are basically the best quality, along with Tiffen, and world reknowned in the film industry. Sure they cost $250 each from retailers but you get what you pay for. Mine sell for about 30% of retail. So bag a bargain!
 
Thanks Hunter....almost bought some.
Marco, you ever have color issues?

Any word on the RR ones?

Also thanks for the link Steve.
 
I just briefly tried out the RR ND's, they are actually very nice. There wasnt any noticeable color shift (at least to the naked eye). I think they only have 0.6 (2-stop) ND right now, if you need a harder ND go for tiffen.
