My only suggestion would be to get a good quality ND filter, hopefully with a brass ring, rather than aluminum or plastic. I've had great results with B+W. You'll hate paying for it, but love using it!

Top line ND filters are over $100. I bought one, and have not used it very much. I simply take pictures from different angles if possible, or post process. But for professionals, they are a must. For instance, wedding pictures on the beech with a bright sky in the background can be a time when a variable ND filter is helpful, otherwise the people in the picture will turn out too dark.

This is the first thought that I had after reading your question. Again, Douglas is giving you a good answer.
You will have more flexibility with VND. If you stack a CPL, then you have your ten stops.

Heliopan filters also have brass mounts. I mention this in case one doesn't have the desired filter, the other may. Both are top of the line, and worth the price for those who value their pictures.

A Cokin 3-stop (ND8) graduated ND filter.

Variable ND Filter = 2 to 8 or 10 stops...Variable!
If you stack 2 CPL filters you makes one variable ND Filter!
But the quality has a price! :mrgreen:

This is a great photo.
It shows what a heap of crap the Cokin ND grads are.
The N is meant to stand for NEUTRAL.
Does this filter look neutral colour to you.
To me it shows the very very significant magenta cast.
Thank you for posting Douglass.
