I have a video planned to show other profiles with these filters. As far as what it would be with your ISO. Use an ISO light stop chart found online and just calculate how many stops more you will need. I would say I find myself at 5 stops often on full sun that unless you stop down to 5.6 or higher you might need the 6-9 stop filter for ISO 800 on full sun.

great man.. Thank you so much. As other people already said... Nobody else will explain that! I am using a 35mm 1.8 lens with slog2 at a native 800 iso... I am having a really hard time figuring out what kind of filter I will need. I looked into a 2-400 variable ND that has up to 5/+6 stops but Im afraid that on a really bright day this won't be enough since I don't want to see any kind of cross vignetting that will happen from 5+ stops on. After watching your video though I feel like a 2-5 stops filter will maybe do the Job cause I can still go from f1.8 to f4 e.g. if it's too bright... Last but not least: Would you recommend a variable ND filter in general? I know that normal ND filters offer better image quality because there is less colour shift and vignetting but I imagine it to be a pain in the ass to screw on and off several filters until you have the right exposure...
@MalcolmWalker4 жыл бұрын
Shooting 1.8 with SLOG-2 at the 800 ISO the 2-5 will not be enough. Yes you can adjust your aperture. Some times I find even 9 stops is not enough depending on how bright it is outside with those settings. If you get the 6-9 filter, you can increase your ISO if it is too dark, but I would rather have cleaner footage personally. I find the PMVND to be consistent across the adjustment range and find no ill effects personally in my footage. I have never used regular ND filters, other then the Polar Pro ones for my drone.

I would suggest the 2-5 stop for the 2.8 lens. But if you want to shoot the 1.8 lenses wide open then I would recommend the 6-9 stop. However that is with S-log settings. If you do not shoot in the log profile then I would recommend just the 2-5 for all the lenses since you can have base ISOs much lower then with a S-log format, as well as your exposure metering can be closer to the 0 mark.

@MalcolmWalker4 жыл бұрын
HD BnB I would recommend the 2-5 stop because you are not using Slog so your base ISO is 100. You also have the option to move to f 3.5 or f 4 if you need too. You can also over crank your shutter by a third or 2/3 if needed too depending on your scene. When I run and gun I always use the 2-5. I always find myself going to 2 stops going inside a building or any where but full sun. However.... using the new Siii might allow you to get the 6-9 and just bump your ISO if needed. But if your lens is a 2.8 I would still run the 2-5. I can say also, to shoot at the 24p at 1/50 at 2.8 in full sun will require the 6-9 without making other adjustments in f stop or shutter.

@MalcolmWalker4 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much. The ND8 you have will act like a 3 stop filter, while the ND64 will act like a 6 stop filter. I can tell you from my experience, the ND64 won't be enough to shoot at 24fps@1/50sec wide open at 1.8 on a full sunny day, in S-Log because base ISO is 500, but in PP2 the camera will let you lower your ISO to 100, that is about 2 1/3 stops of light you can reduce by being able to shoot at ISO 100. It might be enough to get you by. It would be enough to work with if you shoot slow-mo or at 120fps at 1/250sec. You should be able to find a good balance with either filter, depending on conditions, because you will have the option to adjust ISO down further, and find an even exposure of around 0.0 --- +0.7 on your meter because you are not shooting in S-Log

Since you have the 2-5 stop filter, I would not use the ND8 unless you want to have the polarizer effect. At f2.8 you should not need the 6-9 stop filter because your base ISO will be able to go down to ISO100 in PP2, and still be able to shoot at 24 fps @1/50sec.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJysg2CtmLh5ptE Check out my latest video as I discuss the use of both filters a bit more. From what I have seen the Canon R6 has a bit poorer low light high iso performance so you will want to know what your ISO limits are. If you don't want to increase your ISO then I would stick too the 2-5 and raise your aperture. But if you want to use the 2.8 when filming then the 2-5 will only work in shaded or lower ambient light conditions. It will not be enough in bright outdoor environments. Good luck on your decision!. Either way they are both fantastic tools and you can adapt to which one you have.

For long exposure photography, is 2-5 still good? Or do I need to go with 6-9? I wish it was 2-6 instead 2-5. Unless you have advice on how to get it with the 2-5. I also wanted the 2-5 for regular use not long exposure. So I'm at a dead end choice. It's too expensive for both.
@MalcolmWalker4 жыл бұрын
It all really depends on how long of an exposure your doing and what the ambient light is doing. Do you have fast glass you are using for video? If video is your primary use, then you can get the 6-9 and bump your ISO up in video if you feel you need the darker filter for your long exposures. My self personally I have only used the 6-9 for long exposures. I know the version 2's that were just released are all the same price and if you order either set from Polar Pro directly they discount a combo set.

Either one will work for you for stills. It will only help you keep your shutter open longer at the f1.0 if you are trying to get motion blur or any long exposure effects. The shutter calculation will still help you determine what exposure you want and how many stops you need. Set your camera at f1.0 and your ISO at the desired settings. Then select the shutter speed you want to shoot at.

If you are in daylight sun at 1.8 you will want the 6-9 if your shutter is 1/50. However if you are shooting higher frame rates or any other light conditions other then full sun you might find the 6-9 is too dark. I usually shoot at 2.8 for most of my video stuff because 1.8 or1.4 is too narrow for my taste unless I want something like that.. even after making the video I rarely use the 6-9

Log is not a good straight out of camera profile 😉

No it is not. I used it strictly for demonstration purposes.

Cant you skip all this with a sony, using the zebra stripes?
@MalcolmWalker2 жыл бұрын
Zebras only help you see blown out or over exposed areas in the image. So if you want to retain the 180degree rule in video and shoot wide up you have to physically remove the light coming into the camera. That is why you would use an ND filter for this.
