Cameron Fader ND Filter - Anyone using?

[xocomil]

My local camera store stocks these. I've been using a Lightcraft variable ND and don't have too many complaints, but it's got a small crack in it so looking for a replacement. Not sure if I'm ready to spend $400 on an ND filter yet.

Any idea how much sharpness I'd lose? Vignetting?

Thanks!

Vignetting - persist in case if stacked filters with exact size of lens filter thread, if stacked larger filters - vignetting will not happens (stack with growing are included).

about sharpness - that will depend on filter quality, and used focal lengths (in combination with distance to object )

+ also in any comparison (ND vs without ND) persist one big factor - DOF at different aperture sizes ... there thinking about pictures must be different

- think you may use any vari-nd, as example pictures for that filter, which was found on the internet, show quite big degradation on zoom

Screw all that vignetting crap and sharpness paranoia. Just go out and take photos.
