Greater than 10 stop ND filter

Who makes a ND filter that is great than 10 stops?  I'm experimenting with long exposures and don't want to stack filters.

Singh-Ray has a 15 stop filter they sell on B&H for around $450.  I was curious about  your post so I went digging.  I have never used this dark of a filter before, so don't know much about it.

Its usually a white balance issue, easily corrected in post and VERY simple with some pre planning!
I have the ten stop and in low light the exposure can take many minutes to hours. Best of luck with a fifteen stop!....:whistle:

Why so serious?

What would you use a 15 stop, that a 10 stop wont do?  I understand we are talking about 5 stops.  In sunlight my 10 stop works for just about anything I can imagine.  What application are you using that 15 with?

I was just thinking my 10 stop filter, you can barely see though on bright sunny day, I can hardly imagine how that 15 stop would be!

I still stack personally. I know old fashioned, but it works or me. I too am curious as to what you plan on shooting that requires greater than 10 stops. And you can WB for a dark ND filter with an Expodisc, by putting the disc over the lens, with the ND over it, and then pointing at the light source, or very close to it. A reflective WB card will not allow your camera to meter for a set.
