Good point Ed, the filter may be marked with it's exposure rating, I think X2 is normal? So turn the Exposure comp up by +1 stop and watch the histogram.

As an aside if you use two ND filters they can act as a variable ND filter by rotating just one of the filters.


Since the filter is attached to the lens, wouldn't the camera's exposure system compensate for this x1 or x2? Or do you just know it may compensate too much and you want to add some exposure?
