Hello,

Coming from D200 and D2x I don't have any experience in using live view. So my question is whether a live view enabled camera (D300 in particular) will see through a ND1000 filter?

As I went through past threads I saw that the 5d2 does, but is it different with Nikons?

Thanks :)
 
Depends on the speed of the lens - my d700's live viewcould see through a 10 stop filter with a 20mm f1.8. Although it struggled on a 24-70 f2.8.

I would guess the d300 would be similar
 
Thank you, Dan. Anybody else to share?

I am into strong nd photography and can't decide whether the liveview on the d300 will be helpful :thinking:

Live view is great regardless of using it for long exposures or not, IMHO it's very underrated, I use it all the time for tripod work it's just so much easier than peering through the viewfinder at certain heights/angles...it's also useful for focusing, particularly using selective focus points. You have slight vision through it with a 10 stop but not really enough to compose your shot correctly, much easier to compose and add the filter afterwards
