To many posts about the ND filters to reply individually. I was in a hurry to reply last night as I had a meeting to attend and didn\'t realize I was going to be interrogated and accused of misleading the community for my response or I would have worded things differently.
My original reply was to the question put to me about why I used them, I replied for even and correct exposure. In landscape photography they are helpful as the sky is usually a different exposure then the grass and trees.
For color correction I replied they help make picture more colorful and sharper...I meant the picture on the camera lcd or the evf for focusing and exposure correction. Thats what I was referring to when I said it perceived (appears)that way.
With the great live view on this camera it can be a good aid and the lens I was using a ND0.6 is pretty mild and similar to wearing sunglasses on a bright day. I have many filters in shades from 2 to 16 and some graduated filters for sky only.
I hope this clears things up and sorry for my confusing replies.
Here\'s a picture I took in town last night after the meeting.
