I can totally see it as useful in a lot of moving water, day for night, and other similar tripod work. The advantage would be that you won't have possible vignetting at wider focal lengths. As with an L-bracket, I just don't think I'd personally find enough use for it. Having a critical mass of potential buyers makes the difference between whether your dream gear item is manufactured in quantity or not, eh?

Still another example of why, even in our hobby, one size most definitely does not fit all!

Is it a graduated ND? If not don't you already lose 1-2 stops just with a regular CPL?


No, it's not a GND, it's a circular screw on CPL/ND combo and yes, you do lose roughly 1 stop of light with a CPL but so many times I'm looking for just a bit more to smooth out water etc. I know it's not for everyone and I guess the somewhat limited market kinda answers my question.

Seriously, I think that it's because the two uses are pretty distinct. There are lots of times I would like to use a polarizer, but am fighting for light. Subtracting another two stops via an ND filter often makes the difference between hand holding or tripod work.

If you shoot mostly tripod work, I can see it, but there are many times when I want a polarizer and no ND. Fewer occasions, I think, when you'd need an ND filter but the polarizer would interfere.


But that's just me.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and I agree 100% since there are a lot of times I only want a CPL but also so many times walking around in the woods shooting moving water and foliage that I want both. I guess I should have somehow prefaced the question with a reference to mostly tripod work.

yes, it was but done without post processing. When I was in my heyday, it was mostly black and white and slide film. I just do not like to see pictures that are overcooked and not realistic. I've been doing the digital since about 2009. Anything coming out of a camera now is processed, however, the more realistic it is the better I like it. To each his own. I must say there are times when I realize a need for something more to make the picture or just the subject stand out. But definitely do not like overcooked and unrealistic images.

Why don't camera makers make a dedicated L bracket that comes with the camera when you buy it ??

I just ordered a new CPL from Breakthrough Photography (Their filters are not cheap but they're incredible). It's a mix of 3 stop ND and CPL my two most used filters. Why has this not been done before? Am I missing something. I know that I can stack filters but that is another issue altogether. Looking forward to getting this in my hands tomorrow.

The 6D still rocks! Enjoy! You live in a great area for that. I love the mountains of Alabama especially Cheaha and the Smokies are a dream come true for landscapes.

Dave Morrow does a really good job of explaining it all on his website. He also has a really good youtube video to go along with this. https://www.davemorrowphotography.com/depth-of-field-photography

Gene, I did shoot the reality scenes for CSI, Fire dept. & photo journalism; old habits are hard to break!

I'm just curious Dan, when you did that did you use the jpg SOOC? Is that not a processed image?

Traditional camera backpacks never worked well for me. I need water when hiking so I really wanted the hydration pack. I have an Osprey Talon 22L and an Osprey Manta 36L Backpack both of which I really like. I use a camera bag insert for the camera gear that I carry with me. They also have compression straps on the side with a pocket that I strap my travel tripod in. I'd suggest checking out an REI or any other hiking store near you and take the camera gear that you plan on carrying. Here is one review for the Talon 22L http://www.photographyreview.com/reviews/osprey-talon-22-backpack-review

One more thing about backpacks, they're kinda like back yard sheds, the bigger one you get the more stuff you tend to put in them. Mine are just big enough to carry my camera gear and some basic essentials like snacks, small first aid kit, headlamp etc.

Good luck with your search, I'd be interested in what you finally end up with.

I have flown in a C-141, but never landed in one 😊


I jumped from a few of those but mostly the 123's and 130's plus a C5A one time!
