Reddit mentions of ICE 82mm ND1000 Filter Neutral Density ND 1000 82 10 Stop Optical Glass

What everyone has said about getting what you pay for is historically true, however I hope that is broken with the ND I just bought that arrived yesterday. After reading several reviews with examples, I am putting my faith in this filter on my upcoming Iceland trip:

This is after seeing MANY side by side comparisons, even showing the more expensive Tiffen glass and other reputable company offerings cast much worse than this filter. I plan to test it prior to my trip and if I have poor results, I'll be sure to post about it here.

Review with samples

I actually used a really cheap-o Ice brand ND filter.

Since I needed an 82mm thread I didn't want to pay $150+ for a legit one so I gave the Ice brand a chance. It has really surprised me and been great!

I just did a bunch of research on 82mm 10-stop filters. It seemed like in the end the best options were either to spend $150+ on a B+W, Lee etc filter, or go with something like this:

This product was kickstarted and got great reviews on Amazon and on the web. I mean, it's under $40 so I don't expect perfection but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere than super pricey filters that I will use only on a low % of shots.

As for polarizers, I use a Hoya that is mostly fine. Expensive though. I know someone else with an Amazon basics polarizer that they love - and it's super cheap.

I second the other posters idea to buy a large size and then use step-up rings to fit smaller lenses to it.
