Thank you all for the information provided. I will most likely purchase in the mid price range in an attempt to get semi decent filters.

I've been introduced to daytime long exposure photography. I've not yet taken any images, but would like to begin soon. In order to do so, I need to purchase a couple of neutral density (ND) filters. There is a wide range of prices ($20 - $124) for the same type filter. Can someone explain to me why the difference in pricing? It must be the materials used to fabricate the filter, right?
I have dumped my lee filters, for a new company call breakthrough filters out of San Francisco these filters are absolutely color neutral, compared next to my lees I couldn't believe how much of a color cast my lee filters had.
Breakthrough just finished a kickstarter for their first NC grads. Square
Filters.
Now to cost what ever you do most times price = quality. A friend purchased a $30.00 10 stop and we were looking at his mages and the 10 stop effect was good but there was this print along the bottom of the photo it was the reflection of the lens information because the filter was not coated and reflected the ring back into the photo

Lots of bad feedback about the rep on CanonRumors on Breakthrough unfortunately.
I'm sure you found it easy to fix color casts in PS. I know I did.

Don't neglect the profit motive and the idea that a higher price means higher quality. Below is a link to a good comparison.

I wasn't sure about the filters at first because there were some ads on Facebook too. But they are quality, and the 10 shop is so much better then my big stopper, by lee.
I have contacted them a few times and they always answer usually within a hour or so. I have been shooting for years and it's always a pleasure to find new gear that does what it says it will do.
I will have to search out some of the Negitive talk and see what people are saying, all I can say is I am very satisfied with the product
