Who knows. Dante, If what you mean by "not cutting blue well" is not "shading" blue skies, this has not been my experience at all with the 060. It does a fine job giving a gray tint to skies that would otherwise appear white (and do, when I forget to mount the filter). And this is a gray that darkens as it rises away from the horizon, at times creating the effect of a dark yellow or even orange filter toward the zenith. Guy
