If I buy the color graduated neutral density 0.6 filter, do I need to by the 0.6 neutral density filter? Or is there a difference?

More than likely not (depending upon the color). But try the color filter out and determine if you need the other one.

Mine is the #2 size and has been fine from day one. Sorry I am unable to offer any knowledge of the #6 version. I like using the #4 filters with my #2 size however.

Hello Mark, I am not sure but in using this product it did not have the heft other filters have. It was a bit flimsy and you may want to use two together for better results. At one time I had bought a case of good pre-filters on ebay but have yet to find that brand again, tho I have not made a a thourough search as yet. Hope this helps.. :)

I'd go with a much stronger filter. 1.8 maybe. Don't stack you'll just be begging for light scatter shooting in to a light source like that.

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

I still have the box. I will see if I can find information. http://www.pegasuslighting.com/optivex-uv-filter.html look at this one

I looked at both system filters and they are the same, so no difference I see.

Who knows? There are better filters out there. The one I got did not come with any paper work that details its campliblities. A monolithic filter or the ones that go in a Berky are good filters. They list exactly what they filter out.

I think the one I got was the 20-50. Too red for my diving (so calif). I ordered the light magenta filter for "green" water. It works fine. Otherwise this is by far the best filter I have tried. I have tried and lost just about every other one on the market.

I am just an amateur but I will try to answer your question with my limited knowledge. The only difference between the two is that they fit on difference size lens. If you are referring to the darkness of the filter, there are different types of neutral density filters. The lighter ones help reduce glare and (may) slow motion depending on your choice. The darker ones will slow motion more, such as blurring water from a waterfall and are (generally) more expensive. The lighter ones let in more light and the darker ones will slow down your exposure (up to) 9 or 10 stops. I hope someone will more knowledge than myself will explain it more to you but I hope this helps a little. I am just an amateur but I will try to answer your question with my limited knowledge.

Seems quite neutral to me. I haven't tried to blow it to over 100% and look for CA's or anything like that. You get so many filters to play with, in my view, more than you would ever use. I took them out a couple of times to try the colours on a sunset. OK, but not entirely to my taste. Too obviously manipulated. The NG's and the ND's are the useful ones for me. They are cheap enough, to me, to be worth the learning curve as to what I would want to spend my $$ if more use turns out I need better. So far, 3 art landscape shoots of 100 frames + each, not yet.

The fx6 will be fine and do an amazing job. You can angle the output flow to where it just skims the top of the water. I have a fx6 and a xxl api(Rena) on a 150g and it stays Crystal clear. Depending on amount of fish you still have to to maintenance on filters. Just not as often on the fx6. I clean mine every 2 weeks but 3_4 would be ok to wait. (Heavily stocked African tank)

Sorry, have not used this item yet. On my filter it is supposed to connect to black fitting. Hope it helps.

I bought these as a gift so I don't know personally. The Tiffen website say this about the 52MM VARIABLE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER: "Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen's ColorCore technology". B & H photo says this under the description of the Tiffen 52mm 3.0 Neutral Density Filter: "This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings."

There probably is a red filter available for this housing/camera, but I've never used one. A much better alternative is to use the built-in "manual white balance" feature, which will allow an exact color correction. Let me know if you are not familiar with manual white balance, and I can give you a quick tutorial.

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

Hello BenYou can use any of the ND filters, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 depending on how bright it is. ND filters darken the scene by certain amount of stops depending on the ND filter used.Polarizing filters are often used to eliminate reflections though you can still use it for bright scenes. None of the rest would be useful for what you're doing (underwater, macro or UV).
