A budget ND1000 filter review - 10 stopper!

Turbo-G · 10 Jun 2014 at 19:45

Thanks for the write up, just ordered a 52mm 10 stop filter from their eBay site. Worth giving a go at £16.50 if the results are reasonable

Another couple of examples from today while doing the shutter speed bit for my course.
Added the same contract and vibrance settings to both, and set colour temp and tint to the same on both. Gave the 15sec exposure a 1/3 stop bump in Lightroom. Exposures were only 9 1/3 apart in camera.

1/60, f/9, ISO 100

15 sec, f/11, ISO 100.

For the price, this is a great performing filter.

Interesting, thanks for this- ordered a 52mm for the Fuji.

It is indeed, infact I've had it out a couple of times now and about £100 is the only difference I've found between this and the B&W I used to have.

Is a 10 stopper overkill for shooting fireworks, or will it be OK with a bit of an ISO boost?

Columbo · 12 Jun 2014 at 20:10

You shouldn't need any kind of ND for fireworks due to them being mostly set off at night and it being pretty dark already!

I'm thinking of picking up the Camidox polariser and variable ND after this success.

also been looking for a while at 10 stops, am going to a car show next weekend so this might come in handy as will be crowds, so gone and clicked buy! hopefully receive it by midweek.

great lil review btw

Just seen this pop up, a review comparing the B+W 10 stop and the Camidox.

The Camidox won on image quality.

I'm thinking of getting the Camdiox ND1000. Are those with them still happy?

DBT85 · 29 Jan 2015 at 15:02

Very much so Darren.

Steve M · 1 Feb 2015 at 18:35

Yep, very much so too.

Darren555 · 3 Feb 2015 at 20:13

Ok cheers I will pick one up :cool:

I was looking for a 82mm Camdiox 10 stopper on fleabay and found a site doing them for £85 or at auction with £15 starting price......

Got it for £15 (nobody else spotted or wanted it

)

Phal · 3 Feb 2015 at 21:46

£85 sounds expensive for the Camdiox stuff but I can't say I've looked at the 82mm filters.

That being said, £15 is a good price

DBT85 · 3 Feb 2015 at 22:31

Weird, SRB don't have an 82mm 10 stop from Camdiox.

robj20 · 4 Feb 2015 at 07:15

SRB do there own brand ones as well, thats what i have.

82mm Here

Genoma · 23 Feb 2015 at 16:07

I've just ordered the 10 stop Camidox and a Camidox CPL, hope the CPL is as well regarded too but I will report back.

Looking for a 10 stop for my Canon 10-18. How have you guys got on with this filter then? Love my Hoya Pro ND1000 for my 18-55 but it's significantly dearer. If there's not going to be any difference in results I guess it'd make sense to plump for the cheaper filter!
