natural density filter

13 years 6 months ago #1922 by photorommer
I am looking to buy a 52mm neutral density filter for Nikkor 18 - 55mm lens. I am looking on ebay and see a bunch of cheap ones for like 10 bucks. Are these still legitament, should I be spending more than 10 bucks on a ND filter?

I would at least buy a name brand.

Thanks, but one more question. What do you mean by brand name? Doesn't every product come with some sort of brand name?

You can get a Tiffen (Which is good brand) neutral density filter for about $16.00 (USD) but this will be 0.3, 0.6 or 0.9. So you might want to get all 3 at which will cost you $48 (USD) plus shipping.
