To enable slow shutter speeds to be used to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, cars, etc.To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background.To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (ie: above ISO400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations.To allow video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which would normally cause overexposure.

this one is good and cheap.
The 3 stops make it a nice all round filter, because it covers all but extreme long exposures.
You can compensate with higher ISO if you just want to be able to shoot stuff wide open in daylight, like f1.8 for portrait.
With lower ISO you can easily push to a few seconds of exposure if you stop down to like f22.
I would stay away from stronger or variable filters because you loose quality without gaining much. And if you want to do those 2 minutes exposures go really trendy and buy cheap welding glass... :-)
Do you really think I should blow $120 for an MRC filter instead of B+W's single coated equivalent or this Hoya multi-coated equivalent? I could do it but it would be spending all of my gear budget right now.
So that is not a filter as much as a sheet of ND film. Note the size - 20" x 24". You would have to tape this in front of your lens.

This is a Hoya ND8 filter. That means it reduces the light by 3 stops.

So if "normal" exposure would have been 1/60th of a second you could instead shoot at 1/8th of a second and not over expose.
