Ok, so I just passed a milestone with my company that I work for and as a gift they have agreed to give me $100 towards any one item or similar items. My problem is, I can't decide which I want to get. After seeing a lot of daytime long-exposure shots, I have decided that I either want the Topaz bundle for $150 or an ND-400 filter and perhaps another filter of somesort (to get up to the $100 mark.) Pros & Cons: I want the filter before my November trip (obviously) and I can always get Topaz when I get back. On the other hand, with Topaz I can get $100 towards it and it only cost me $50 and then by the filter on my own. Which one would everyone else get? :confused3

Filter.

We can always get the software later and work on the images but we can't recapture them (unless we go on another WDW trip, which is not so bad an idea).

Have you thought about the Cokin filter system? I like mine.

What all does that include and what's the details of it? :confused3 I mean, is it hard to put on and off, and does it work with multiple lenses or just one size?

How would Topaz help you with daytime long exposure shots?

I wasn't really thinking of Topaz creating the same effect as the ND400, but rather just a different effect all together. But who knows...
