Need to seek some advise on ND filters. Any advise on whether to get 6 stops or 3 stops? I've read some article saying that it's not worth getting 1 or 2 stops filter.
Thanks in advance!

If properly exposed both pictures would look the same. The differences are subtle - and will depend on the purpose these filters are used for. If you put a 3 stop GND and 6 stop GND on your cam using Auto Mode you won't see any difference - except for the settings that the camera chooses.not very sure though as i can't find a picture that i can see the difference of 3 stop and 6 stop nd filters.

Well, if you mean a photo of the filters, then maybe you won't be able to tell them apart. Both will look like pieces of dark glass.
If you understand what is meant by ___ stop, you will be able to decide for yourself.
We believe in the "teaching someone to fish" concept here

Only if the polarizing effect is not disturbing. ND filters will not filter the light, just dim it.I think a polarizer filter can be used instead.

depends on your budget, getting a 5 or 6 stops is good. otherwise get a 3 stop minimally.
