In the past instead of using a neutral density filter which I've always had moral issues springing for I'd use a polarizing filter which I'd sometimes think of as a neutral density filter which was not so neutral. A kind of non neutral density neutral density filter. A neutral density filter which yes darkens you image but really GETS in there and does something intensely interesting! And yes with a rangefinder camera what you get will be more interesting than what you saw. I sometimes just let it do its thing. I mean really. Would you wear sunglasses which were non polarized? Not me! I mean who wants their light waves going just any which way? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization Mark William Rabiner
