HI guys. I need recommendations for 95mm filter thread ND filters... probably 2, 4, and 6 stop that I will uses outdoors when I am using flash on a bright day to keep from blowing out the background highlights. That size is very expensive. All my other filters, way too small, are B+W brand and I have been happy with them. There is another brand that has been talked about here that I refuse to buy because of the guy's attitude and lying to me about sending a copy to review. He said he would here in the discussion boards, and then in email said he didn't have one available to loan for review, so never got one and never heard from him again. I don't want to mention the brand. Maybe he got his QC and attitude issues straightened out. I have no idea.
Anyway, is there a particular brand you'd recommend that might serve the purpose but not hit my wallet so bad? Are the variable ND filters all they are cracked up to be? I do like to shoot wide open for most things, but f/2 can be tough on a bright day. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know there are some very smart pros here who can give me some real pearls of wisdom.
On another note, I will also be experimenting with gells and using kelvin... so fun times ahead. All my EF gear is gone and I have decided to start with the RF 28-70 f/2 and wait to see what Canon does with a longer RF zoom... hopefully a 70-135 f/2L or something is in the oven. Thanks again guys.
BTW: Battery grip is recommended when using the 28-70. I will be selling my RF 24-105 f4L. Great lens, but the 28-70 serves my needs at that end.
