Variable ND Filters?

[mrpms]

What budget Variable ND Filters would you suggest to look at for under £40 ($65) ?

Lenses are Tokina 11-16mm, Tamron 17-50mm VC, Canon 50mm EF 1.8


Thanks.

I've read reviews from some people who trash all forms of variable ND's. I personally have a Polaroid that was about $50US and I'm happy with it. Shot some footage as a B cam to a Red Epic with my variable ND and at HD resolutions they intercut quite nicely (and I was using the filter since the shots were mid-day exterior locations).

Thanks, i was looking at the Polaroid ones, but some of the reviews did put me off. What do you think of the Hoya ones?

I've only used my Polaroid so I can't intelligently talk about anything else.

Thanks, i purchased the LCW MKII in the end, very happy with it.

Here's a recent review we did of the LCW Fader ND Mk II, hope it helps

I have the LCW too; seems to work pretty well.

I have the LCW and I found it softens up your lens a lot. I'm looking to sell it but seems like no one wants to buy.
