Neutral Density Filters for HDSLR
May 2010 31
The options we have.
Now I’m not going to get into why you should get an ND(Neutral Density) Filter or how they work. For that I’ll send you over to Nick Jones post over at ExposureHD “Your brain, frame rates and why you should have a variable ND filter“. It is a good read and clears up some shutter speed information.
What I am doing in this post is showing the options that I have gathered through my quest to find a ND Filter. I am all about finding the cost effective solution to my HDSLR needs and I figure if they are helping me out maybe they can be of use to other. So here are the three that I have found.

Zacuto vs Letus
May 2010 24
Battle of the DSLR Viewfinder
I recently stumbled across the Letus Hawk VF and was taken back a little bit when the first sentence of it’s description is “100% custom designed”. It looks astoundingly close to the Zacuto Z-Finder Pro and the specs are pretty close as well.
Zacuto Z-Finder Pro Series:
Magnification: 2.5x and 3x
Diopter range of -2.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames)
Anti-Fog
(I think hard Plastic)
Price: BH:$375 Zacuto:$395
Letus Hawk VF:
Magnification: 2.75x
Adjustable from +1.5 to -2.5
Anti-Fog
Made of Carbon Fiber
Price: $385
HDSLR Supports and Cages
May 2010 21
So Zacuto just announced their Z-Cage, but at the steep price of $1,392.70 you won’t be see me wielding one of these bad boys anytime soon. But this new addition to the Zacuto family really got me thinking about the large amounts of new products, including cages, that this HDSLR revolution has give us enthusiasts. Not to mention the large amounts of DIY projects out there. So I felt compelled to throw together a few of my favorite DSLR Camera supports that I have found, DIY and Consumer Grade.

Gizmodo T2i Review
May 2010 20
Gizmodo put out a review for the Canon T2i and this thing really does stack up well next to some of the mid-range cameras’ with out strangling your wallet.
“Canon’s Rebel T2i is an incredible camera—everything a first DSLR should be. It takes fantastic photos (and, crucially, video) for the price, it’s easy to use, and perhaps most importantly, it’s a camera you can grow with.
But there’s no shame in using it if you really know what you’re doing, either.“
This review just reassured me that I made the right decision in my purchase.
Read the full review over at Gizmodo
planet 5D also put together a great chart on their blog comparing the T1i, T2i, 7d, 5D Mark II, and 1D Mark IV. Check that out HERE!
