do these have the same effect or not? I don't know much about filters at all, but I want to get a good grad nd filter for when I take my trip soon. I usually just combine 2 images or raw files to get better range, but i'm only taking my film camera on this trip.
Also I want to get a polarizer. My biggest concern is not getting washed out skies in landscapes. Im shooting with a mamiya 7 and mostly velvia 100 film if that helps at all.
But yeah, the grad grey filters seem to be cheaper than the grad nd filters (and im short on funds) so would they have the same effect? |

Neutral density filters come in a variety of colors; gray is one (it is color-neutral) and you can get "tobacco", various blues, yellowish and reddish, you name it. If you want to darken without shifting color, gray's the way to go.

Grad NDs will help with washed out skies. Basically like on a car windshield that blocks out the sun a bit with the top part that is bluer then the rest of the windshield. The different color of grad adds a different type of effect.
Get a Cokin system so you can swap out what ever filter and replace it with another.

| yeah I know what they do. I was wondering if graduated grey was the same as graduated neutral density (was wonderin if the grey was in fact color neutral). I think you cleared that up for me though robt. I decided to just order a polarizer and more film instead though but thanks! |
