Has anyone got one of these? I'm keen an a 10-stop ND filter but I'm afraid can't quite justifying the amount it costs for a Lee filter. It seems that B&W filters from Amazon are reasonable at £50. I'm a bit aprehensive to go for it as there are only two not very in depth reviews on Amazon and never heard of these filters before.

Any thoughts or comments?
 
B+W are one of THE best manufacturers of filters on the market.

Solid and reliable.
 
You wont go far wrong using B&W filters, absolutely nothing to worry about there.

Bit heavy and has a red colour cast to it, but otherwise its good. Comes in a hard plastic case which is nice for storing it. I'd definitely buy one again, as on the surreal shots the red actually makes for interesting shots visually and is easily correctable if you should want to.

Think of it more as a warm glow... ;)

But yep, I love mine, the slight magenta colour cast makes evening long exposures look even more warm which is a big plus. If you don't like it just adjust the white balance.
 
What is the link for it??? The one naphta mentions is £116???
 
I quite like the cast too, lets be honest surreal 10 stop photos aren't mean to be realistic.
 
I thought B+W 10 stops went for over £100? Have a look at Haida 10 stop filters. I don't do much landscape photography so couldn't justify paying a lot for a filter. I recently purchased a Haida one and have been happy so far with it. A photog I was chatting to at the weekend was impressed by the lack of colour cast with it compared to his much more expensive filter.
