Just got a Tiffen 2 to 8 variable neutral density filter. Probably never use it, like most of my "stuff", but I have it in case of emergencies......:)

Why so serious?

Also means you can experiment a lot more with camera settings when you don't have to consider sync speeds.
Next test will be first dance at a wedding where guests flashes are a nuisance.


Post a few shots please Haggis, I have been thinking of buying one of these and would value your input.

Just to give you a warning, I've been on the "notify when available" list for this filter at both stores for much more than a year........:angry:

Wow! A whole year! I'll give it a few weeks then decide, probably will end up cancelling if it will take that long. Wonder why, it's just a piece of dark glass! You would think they could make them quicker for the customers.
