Just checked and all he has is 67mm
Found a few unbranded ones for that price on the bay, but no Hoya....

Screw-in is a must, as it's just easier to work with and less chance of filters being knocked off....

What sort of strength are you after although probably doesn't matter- I only use heliopan or B&W (although I don't have the multi coated version which is meant to be better)of which I have no complaints for the various strengths.
Also seen the lightcraft one recommended but no personal experience there or where to buy.

Another vote for B+W ND's
I got the 77mm 10 stopper of ebay for £70 quid posted.
It took a while to track a genuine one down that wasn't being sold in China.

I had an ND4 and a ND8 (don't know what that equates to in stops - 2 + 3??) in 67mm fitting for my Tammy 17-50 but never upgraded to fit my 17-55...
Main use is for strobist stuff to allow fast apertures

When you get a 77mm you could buy a 67-77mm step up ring so that you can use the 77mm filter on your 67mm tammy.
Thats what I did. There was no need to own two ND110's when my main lenses are 67 & 77mm respectively.
Freed up a bit cash too!

Pat, I have an ND4 that you can have. I've moved to Lee filters so don't really need it.

Exposure factor or filter factor of ND2, 4, 8 etc...
is the same as one, two, three stops etc...
is the same as 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 etc optical density.
For what I think you want to do, three stops is probably favourite. Should do the job and anything darker can be quite hard to see with through the viewfinder. Hoya Pro-1?
