Digital camera reviews of B&W B & W 67mm ND 3.0-1000x #110 Neutral Density FilterDigital camera Review: B+W 67mm 1000xND Filter #110 Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent piece of glass. I bought this filter for my Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm; f/2.8-3.5, high grade lens; of course I would want a high quality filter to go with a high quality lens.
The filter comes in an excellent case that has foam padding inside. You should definitely hold on to that case or at least keep the foam padding.
The first thing you notice about this filter is the build. The ring of the filter is made of Brass and NOT aluminum like mediocre filters. This is somewhat important because the threading of the brass stays intact while the threading of aluminum can sometimes bind into the lens.
Photo quality: Superb. Period. I did not experience any lens flare so far, even when shooting long exposure shots at noon. If you have a very sharp lens, the filter will still allow for very sharp photos.
You will need to focus before putting this filter on since it only allows for .01% of the light to enter the lens, so it's almost pitch black looking through the view finder.
Interms of exposure times:
NOON: If you want to capture the sky and not blow it out, have either a Long Exposure + Low f-stop ( 45 - 60 Seconds + F11) or Medium Exposure and Medium f-stop ( 20 - 30 seconds + f 5.6-7.1). Regardless, at noon time, you can definitely have exposures 30 seconds.
MidNoon: 60 seconds (it can be longer if you used a lower f-stop)
Twilight and Sunset: 60+ Seconds.
This filter was worth every penny.
