AN ND filter has you needing a bigger Fstop for your flash which is actually what we wish to avoid. In effect an ND filter shrinks your flash. We want a small F stop so the sun does not wipe us out but a big enough flash to be able to work at that small F stop. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
