Hi,

does anyone know where I can find a quality dark ND filter (~ 8 - 10 stops) in 82mm size? or even better would be a Lee holder with Big stopper and probably a 0.6 soft GND, but IN STOCK. I checked adorama and bhphotovideo and amazon and couldnt find any of that in stock. I also consider Formatt wide angle holder and their ND PRO STOP and other, but couldnt find it anywhere either.
many thanks!

I think you are going to have a hard time finding such a filter in 82mm without getting on a waiting list. My suggestion is to get on the waiting list for a Big Stopper just like I am.

Good luck

Get a Lee Big Stopper...use it on any lens you want...get an 82mm 10 stop (if they make them) use it on one lens.........and spend the same....

Be patient or buy what you don't want.......

I am going to guess that you aren't going to have many lenses that require more than an 82mm filter, so with some adapter rings, you could use the screw on filter on all of your lenses as well.

Google
2filter . com

it is a great website (actually the website is not that good, but the people running it they are)
they sell only filters
i buy all my filters there, usually are the cheapest, and have a lot in stock
(even though last time they did not have one of the filters i was interested to)
customer service is amazing, at least in my experience

hope it helps
