Letus Color Temp & ND Fader

[ottowitz]

I came across the Letus Color Temp & ND Fader while searching for good ND Filters. I know all the disadvantages you get from variable ND's (reducing reflections on skin and so on) but the Letus 138mm round Filter got my attention. Besides being a regular ND Fader Filter you can use it as a color Temp Filter. You go from warm to cool...So instead of using the f35 internal whitebalance you could use the setting the camera is strong with and use the filter to calibrate your color temperature. I attached a link for everyone who's also interested in this. There is also a video link with some test shots where he dials in the colors. I just ordered one and will let you know how it performs. Anyone having experience with it?

I think fader ND is nono. This is high end camera. Fader ND is for no money DSLR. No good quality enough.

Sorry it was easy to misunderstand my writing - i meant the color temp filter not the nd side.

Even though i don't think Vario ND Filters per se are a nono for professional work. Schneider vario nd is very sharp for example and has near no color shift - you just have to count in the side effects of using it like loosing reflections...I still share your opinion in general though on vario nd's.
