ND filters

[Sammyc]

Hi all. I'm new to mirrorless cameras and have just bought the XT30 which I'm really liking. Only using the 18-55mm at the moment but it's such a great lens I don't mind using it for sometime before I upgrade. I mainly shoot landscapes and need some ND filters and polarizers to shoot waterfalls and sunsets and would love some recommendations on some budget ones, maybe a 3 and a 10 stop to start with? Any suggestions?

I have bought in the polarizer, 6 stop, 3 stop and then 10 stop order. Several sources (print/internet) recommended this order. I thought it over and it seemed to make sense (to me).

i use pretty cheap generic variable nd and polarizer (amazon basics cpl and ozure nd currently )  , it give's basic result's . but if you are serious about result's then check the comparison video from gerald undone 

 

there's also 2 in1 filter , which is variable nd and polarizer filter together (like this one shown by kai.w ) 

 2 in 1 filter's are available from other brand's too like k&f ,polar pro etc.. but i haven't used myself ..yet ! . i hope this helps . have a nice day !

Sorry for the delay, just saw this message. I use B+W (XS-Pro MRC Nano for the ND and the Kaeseman CPL). I can’t say they are better than other brands, just that they are the ones I use. I have been satisfied with them.
