Then, this is for you, Jannik. It's like having multiple NDs in your camera body. I'm sure it won't work in every situation but then, either do NDs. I've played with longer exposures (64-256 exposures) so far but I want to play with shorter ones too. Hi Bob,
Have you compared the results with long exposures with say 10 or 15 stops of ND? 128 exposures is quite a lot and will certainly lower the life of the camera shutter. Of course I believe the A7rII has an estimate of 500,000 releases. On the other hand the A7rII has the issue with exposures into the minutes of going down from 14 to 12 bit. But, my A7rM does not have that life expectancy.

I haven't done a direct comparison on the same composition, lighting, time of day, etc. but my feeling is that the results are similar in many cases to a neutral density filter. I would prefer to use the filters but it's nice to know that this app is sitting in my camera for those times when my filters are sitting at home. I'm not so worried about the shutter and the number of exposures. First, the camera can handle it and second, I'm likely to replace the body with the A7r3 (or A9) way before wearing out the shutter! I have yet to try out the app at night for night reflections or on a waterfall so more fun to be had in the future!
