It goes away by f2, and not even there at f2.8. Just a question, What do you need an ND for? I've used them so I could use high speed film outside, but since digital it hasn't been a need. They also help lower contrast, but you can do that in ps. I was looking at a list of Leica Series 7 filters and they don't show an ND. from my iPad Sonny Carter > On Apr 8, 2017, at 7:32 PM, Robert Baron <robertbaron1 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Well, being the impatient sort I went ahead and bought the B+W Series 7 > from B&H and guess what: it vignettes too.
