January 6, 2015 Update: Singh Ray reached out to me in December to address my concerns about the issue I was seeing with my filter. They have since reviewed my filter and determined it to be defective, so I will be doing some new testing with the Singh Ray and updating this article to reflect my observations.
Expect an update later in the 1st Qtr of 2015.
Hoya Variable Density vs Singh-Ray Vari-ND 77mm Cases
Singh-Ray 77mm Vari-ND Variable Neutral Density Filter is the standard by which many judge other variable neutral density filters. With the ability to reduce the light into your lens from 2 to 8 stops, it offers a compelling choice for doing long exposures of moving objects like streams, waterfalls, etc… However, some say the $340 Singh-Ray is overpriced and old technology, so I thought I’d do a little research and find out if that was true.
