It's a Cove Handjob haha. Yes..all their bikes are named after sexual activities. Except the frame year is somewhere in the late 90's or early 2000's. It doesnt even have disc brake tabs. Everything on that bike minus the fork and wheels are from circa early 2000's.

And here's the 2nd bike...It's about 40% finished.

I'm shopping around for a set of ND filters for both of my lenses. I want something with some variability, and have narrowed my options down to these three. Can any of you offer some insight to each brand? This is my first time buying filters.

I guess one thing you have to worry about is if your lens rotates when you use the autofocus. Just like the circular polarizers..any lens with a rotating element, you're going to have to adjust the filter all the time. Another thing you gotta look out for is the sharpness of your image since any type of element in front of your lens will detract from the quality and sharpness.

 

[R3d Baron]

I may be wrong, but it sounds to me like the stop selection part is independent of the part connecting to the lens, so that may not be an issue.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

No I know what you're saying. I'm saying that once you get the filter screwed on, and adjust the filter itself, you might have to adjust more if you keep refocusing and recomposing your shots. I dunno...I guess the only thing would be sharpness. I use a 4 stop Hoya...and that's all i've ever needed.

 

[R3d Baron]

What do you shoot with it?

 

[sleeper3]

it's probably just 2 circular polarizing filters. If you have them aimed 90deg opposed (might be 180, not sure), they'll filter out just about all of the light. I was thinking about getting another circular polarizing filter instead of a 10 stop ND.

ive come across that while using a circular polarizing filter and wearing polarized sun glasses. i dont use the filter too much as i shoot wide a lot and get dark spots in the corners.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

What do you shoot with it?

If I want to slow down water in bright days. If I want to slow down cars in bright days. That's all for the most part. OR I put the filter on if I'm shooting portraits out in the open on a bright sunny day.
