I need a fairly dark filter, preferably in the Cokin P series size or larger. I've tried the Fotodiox brand ND8, which supposedly cuts three f/stops of light. But on three separate ND8 filters, they only cut 1.5 f/stops of light. (grrrr...) This is as tested by metering through the filter with both Sekonic and Pentax meters.
I've searched the past threads on metering through filters, but nothing applies to this situation. Am I missing something? Or are Fotodiox ND8's really only ND3's? (I'd like to know before spending more on another brand of ND8 filter...)
As always, thanks muchly!
