Budget ND filters?

[MoneyHoney]

Hi everyone

Any recommendations for budget ND filters? don't really need the top ends 1...preferably those $30-40+ per filter...Looking to take some long exposure shots for waterfall/scenery... i'm using sony a6000 with SELP18105G/Sigma 16mm f1.4 dc dn lenses

also, is it necessary for me to get a variety of ND filters? like ND64, ND 128, ND1000?

thanks.

nd filter more or less got some coloration

just get those cheapo china brand on ebay/taobao if u want to try

they work ok, just need some color processing

I don't really recommend those cheap China resin filter, really bad color cast. The cast is a lot harder to correct than you think

If don't mind circular screw on, spend a little bit more for Haida or any glass ND (except Hoya, had bad experience with their old ND1000)

Over the years, i have used cheap china resin filter, Hoya, Haida, Hitech resin, less known China glass filter. I would rate resin < Hoya < Hitech resin < Haida.
