Best ND filters?

[Francesco Cantoro]

Hello,

What do you think are the best ND filters for film?

Thank you!

If you are asking about shooting on film (not digital), then I would think any simple .ND filter would work fine, such as Tiffen etc.  .3, .6, .9 are usually enough for shooting on film.

Thank you for the answer Bruce.
Yes, I was talking about shooting on film.

I've used Tiffen IRND on digital but I noticed a slight green tint on the more dense ones, from 1.2 and more

I second Bruce. No need for IR correction on film. Opt for a piece of actual glass tinted in the mass, like a tiffen, schneider, century etc.

Thanks for the answer guys

Have you considered using a variable ND filter? Speeds up traditional ND filter changes on set and gives you more flexibility...

The Cinefade VariND can be remotely controlled from a LCS or directly from the buttons on the filter. Panavision also announced a LCND a while ago but don't think it's available yet
