A "Lee Little Stopper Filter," really? ??? That's a new one by me... A quick look at Lee's website & Google search came up empty... Can you please post a link so we can get some more info.

Correction:
Now that I figured-out how to spell
I have found references on the net for the new filter... A glass 6-stop 4x4 ND by Lee sounds really interesting... I have been using a 6-stop Hitech, which is okay... But the Hitech has a greenish color-cast which is hard to work with when combined with other filters (such as the Big Stopper) that have their own heavy color-cast. I have always found the heavy blue color-cast of the Big Stopper to be quite easy to work with. And if the new "Little Stopper" has the same blue-cast it'll stack very nicely with the Big Stopper for 16-stops of mid-day ND power... I may have to try it! Where did you order it from? Somewhere in the US I hope...

I've ordered the 100mm version from Dale Photographic in the UK, who are the only stockist I can find who are listing it as in stock.

The only review i've found so far is by Mark Bauer a UK based landscape photographer

Yeah the Little Stopper isn't yet available in the US, though I've already added my name to the queue at an American supplier. I hope that the wait isn't too long...
During the mid-day's full-sun, I often stack the Big Stopper with other ND filters, even with a second Big Stopper! The ultra-long 8-to-15 minute daytime exposures are a lot of fun to work with! I don't find the blue color-cast of the Big Stopper very difficult to correct in post, even two stacked Big Stoppers are still just the same blue color cast. However mixing different color-casts can quickly become a true nightmare to correct... Now if you really want to see a 10-stop ND filter with a difficult to correct color-cast, you should try the B+W 3.0 (110) filter with the infamous pink-ish brown color-cast! That filter should come with a warning saying "Suitable for Black & White ONLY."
