Hi, i am relatively new to digital photography and have been inspired by by the pictures i have seen by other members. I wanted to try slow shutter speeds to capture movement, in paticular, water etc, realised i needed a nd filter/filters, so decided on a fader, as it would be more economical. Did my research and could not find anything positve about the cheap nd fader filters, the other well known brands were a little to expensive for me at this moment in my photogaphy, anyway i decided on the cheapo version to to get some idea, when the product arrived it was well packaged and surprisingly very good quality which gave me confidence, anyway tried it out today lots of different combinations etc, couldent wait to get home to view the results, to my amazement they were very good, at least by my standard, honestly i can recommend them for anyone wanting to experiment at not much outlay. hope this helps anyone who has previously shied away from them.
ps, i will be posting a few pictures over the next day or two to give you some idea how good/bad you think they are.
cheers
Darryl.

Sounds good, do you have a link to them mate. Iam in a similar position to you.
 
Interesting as generally they've been found to be of questionable quality so I've ended up buying a 9 stop filter.

I'd be interested in seeing the images.

Oh and welcome to TP
 
Cheap options for ND filters..

Welding glass - not as daft as it sounds, but results can very widely between different filters. A search of the forum should turn up a long thread on the subject.

Variable ND - even cheaper than a fader, if you already have a circular polariser buy a cheap linear polariser and put it in front. This is all a fader- or variable-ND filter is, so if you already have a circular polariser it's cheaper to just add a linear.

The 7DayShop ND filters regularly appear on discount/clearance and are surprisingly neutral, better than some cheap branded ND filters I've tried.
