Where to buy 82mm screw-in ND filters?

[yanzhang]

<p>Dear all,</p>

<p>Currently I am using 82mm Singh Ray Vari-ND filter on my EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens on 5D MArkII. However, I found most of the time, the out door shooting results (I am doing landscape photography) with this filter at more than 4 stops are not acceptable - the exposure is very uneven, the middle sky and foreground got very dark.</p>

<p>So I am considering to buy a fixed stop screw-in ND filter, because the reviews for fixed screw-in large stop ND filters didn't report this problem, though other problems such as color cast exist. But this always exists for all these kinds of ND filters I guess.</p>

<p>The two filters I am considering are B+W 82mm ND106 (6 stops) and B+W 82mm ND110 (10 stops). But I was advised yesterday by B+W that they no longer produce these 2 filters on 82mm size.</p>

<p>So my question is: Have some people bought any 82mm screw-in ND filters at 6 stops and 10 stops recently? Or any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Many thanks for your help.</p>

<p>B&H sells a series of Formatt brand 82mm ND filters from 1 to 8 stops. Go to this link - <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Neutral-Density/ci/114/N/4289364518">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Neutral-Density/ci/114/N/4289364518</a>, check off the 82mm box under Size and the Formatt under Brand, and scroll through the selections. Stacking more than one filter will certainly give you some vignetting.</p>
