Eric,
re: If we could dial in ISO 25
Oh my, back to Kodachrome days....
Regards, Gilbert.
PS the point I tried to emphasise, is that most fixed ND filters will be better (by sharpness and color) than most vari-filters at a similar price level.

You could try one of the Mylar ones astronomers use, they reduce about 22 stops. :lol:

And there was me thinking astronomers wanted more light, not less?

Thank you all for what has turned into a very helpful thread, sorry I haven't 'got involved' but I have had my computer to bits fitting an SSD. Will tell you all about it ASAP. Very exciting! Actually it's still in bits but sort of jury rigged with bits of string and chewing gum!!! :lol:

Just checked, the X100 has a built in polymer filter that goes between the shutter and the rear element somehow. Not a setting then, but an actual filter. I think it's only 2 stops but it was useful in very bright light

Yes you are right ...I had forgotten that feature. Good old Fuji. Now if only they could match Nikon camera response times I might be persuaded not to sell my gear.
