I am toying with the idea of purchasing a 9 or 10 stop neutral density filter and I was wondering if anybody had had any experience with the Polaroid (PLFILFDND72) variable ND filter.

I understand that the B&W or Hoya brands come highly recommended, but unfortunately both these types are out of my price range at the moment. I have Googled and eBayed extensively but couldn’t find any cheaper alternatives apart from the Polaroid type mentioned above.

Anyway, any guidance will be much appreciated.

Save up and buy a decent one. Pointless getting something that is not good enough. I have B + W and Hoya filters.

Quote: I see they also have an InfraRed filter to fit Cokin P series holder, also at £38.00, which I'm hoping to get.

I had the IR filter for the Cokin 'P' system & it was a complete waste of time unless I sealed all round the filter & holder with opaque tape, as the light leakage around the filter ruined the shots. possibly I may not have been using it correctly and there may be some who can get it to work without taping, it just didn't work for me! (bought a Hoya R72 screw in filter which works a treat without the hassle).
