ND1000 (10 stop) filters test comparison | |
So I tested 3 ND1000 (10 stop) filters today:
The Breakthrough photography X4 82mm
The Polar Pro quartz 82mm
The Lee filters Big Stopper 100mmx100mm
The camera was placed on a tripod with a 24mm lens, manually focused and with "daylight" white balance applied. I then took the test shot without a filter (photo #1) with exposure set at 0.
I then slowed my shutter speed by 10 stops and tested the filters one by one.
Can you guess which picture goes to which filter?
Edit:
From my observations:
Filter photo #2 was the one with the most vignette and the most color cast and also was over 10 actual stops as it was the darkest.
Filter photo #3 had the least (almost non existent color cast) but appeared to be maybe 1/3 of a stop less than actual 10 stops
Filter photo #4 looked like it was the closest to an actual 10 stop but had a slight color cast
All 3 filters had a negligible if not non existent change in lens sharpness (Sony A7III with Sony 24mm GM was the gear used btw)
To add to comments below:
Both 82mm screw on filters felt really good screwing on and off and both felt high quality
