I used a yellow green filter which absorbed a stop most of the time and a dark green filter for when I needed more. A red filter also. But I never used a neutral density. I used a polarizer and with color film as well. I've found it better to use a filter which does something. A filter of a specific color I'd like to absorb the opposite of. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 20:30:59 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Nocti/0.95 is so 2009.
