I enjoy taking pictures of water with this big stopper for the silky smooth rendition

I decided to use the Lee filters as I already owned the system and preferred it over other brands. The filter didn't disappoint, it worked great, and other than remembering to switch from Av on the Canon to Bulb to then use the Lee App as the timer it was great. I have a bunch of great beach shots with water like cotton. Very easy to use and I would highly recommend it to anyone needing the 10 ND.

This is just one of many filters I own from Lee. Quality and performance are excellent. I use it with the Lee filter holder system for my canon 5D3 which makes attaching and changing filters a snap.

Once I figured out how to use it in the holder I had it worked well.

Works as intended. Able to take much longer exposures in daylight. Not a professional, so to me it seems to work as it should. Fits snug in the foundation kit

I find very useful and best filter I have ever used. No extra colors or noise added because of this filter even in extremely longer exposure. I highly recommend this product.

Have only been able to use a couple times, but allows you to have complete control over shutter speed in any light. Does cause a blue color cast, but this is easily correctable in post.

This filter does a great job of blocking out the light. Used it at a river near my home and got some fantastic photos. Would definitely purchase this filter again.

The Big Stopper always seems to be on back-order. I happened to see that it was in stock and jumped on it, but still had to wait a couple of weeks for the filter holder which. This is the filter you want for slowing down time and getting long exposure times.

This is my first filter, and the results are just what I had hoped for. You could probably use a welders helmet and get the same results, but this filter is much more compact.

I purchased the product to photograph scenes with water in it. So far I am very happy with the results , build quality and the fact that it's easy to use.

Works on any lens with cheap adapters rather than buying multiple expensive ND filters for each lens size you have.

It took forever to come, but it finally arrived. This filter creates wonderful streaks with moving clouds and misty looking water. It's a bit blue like some reviewers have said on the color balance and you have to watch out for exposures that are too long, like several minutes, and getting noise in the image, but that's the camera and not the fault of the filter. I'm still experimenting on how to clean all that up post processing. Overall, a very cool filter.

Florida sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular and very bright.The "Big Stopper" by Lee helps me bring out all the color and richness of the Autumn sky.Water reflects all the hues of the sun,and the 10-stop captures them all.I waited several months to get this filter...and it'd worth the wait !

This is my second big stopper. The first one I never got to use since it was shipped in a million pieces. I returned the broken filter and waited several months for my second one to arrive. This time, it came in a hard case and was fully intact. I've only got to use it once and I am very happy with the results so far.

I use it on both Nikon 70-200 mm and 14-24mm. I love lanscape photography & bought it mainly on my Nikon 14-24mm. There is no holder for using Big Stopper for Nikon 14-24mm on the market. I created a holder that puts Big Stopper on the great landscape lens of Nikon, the 14-24mm f2.8 . In comestic view , it doesn't make the men interesting but it looks not bad and function so well . It was made by a piece of 1/4 " black plastic, two filter slots cutting from Cokin holder , Velcro and super glue. Tap Plastic took care of Cutting (very hard part) . I love running water bodies, flowing clloud and the mistery of landscaping. The silky flowing of cloud and water bring the still object comes to live. That the Big Stopper about.

If you're looking for the big-stopper, you've no doubt done your homework. It really does produce the eerie images that you see in the magazines. This filter does leave a blue tint to your exposure, but it can easily be corrected. Worth the wait, this filter is worth every penny.

Don't waist time and energy with cheaper options, went that road, got tired of the huge color casts, most of the times not even fixable with grey cards, ordered the big stopper, had to wait 5 (five) months, but that's what I call quality!

I already have a few Lee's ND grad plates so I was familiar with quality of LEE's products. Before I have ordered it I made some research picking up some feedbacks and Big Stopper completely fulfill my expectations with very few surprises. For sure it is product for "I know what I am doing" photographers regarding to long exposures and sensor noise relationship. It took six months before I got it but it was sure worth waiting for. Gathered with other LEE's plates it helped me capture a couple amazing photographs. Beside all of that It is great pleasure to say I had support from Adorama team through all of "backorder" period...
