It seems obvious that a Neutral Density filter would aid in daylight flash filter photograhy. But if you think about it. It really doesn't. The Neutral density over the lens slows down the film as much as the flash. Resulting in no change in the relationship or ratio. The only real aid i can thing of in such photography is to use a more powerful flash. I'd suggest a MUCH more powerful flash. Or the flash with the M7 that enables full all shutter sync which would be some Metz at this point. So you can shoot at 2000th of a second with the flash.
